Shane Slattery Group IT Manager, Dawn Meats Group

"Emydex is a central pillar of our strategic IT plan going forward, and our goal now is to concentrate on completing the roll-out of Emydex to our primary processing sites by year end. This plan may seem aggressive, but we believe it’s achievable on account of the inherent flexibility of the core Emydex product to handle any differences in the business processes required in each of our fourteen disparate sites”
