MAY 20, 1999
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--LGS Group Inc. (NASDAQ : LGSA) announces that
the Quebec Inseminators Co-operative has retained LGS' services to
implement its new system for operations management. This project,
valued at about $1 million, is now underway and is expected to
continue until the fourth quarter of the year 2000.
The QIC represents a network of over 200 artificial insemination
technicians operating in 83 work zones across the province of
Quebec. The co-operative, which plays an important role in animal
genetics and reproduction, was looking for a more powerful and
open-ended management system. LGS Group Inc. acts as prime
contractor for this project that consists of three phases:
setting up an operations management system for inseminations,
integrating the new system to the company's accounting system, and
designing a data warehousing environment.
President of the QIC Board of Directors, Luc Adam, expressed his
confidence in the project. "We opted for the specialists at LGS
Group Inc. because of their experience, and because of their
ability to deliver at predetermined schedules. This capacity is
critical for us if we want to realize our business objectives."
LGS, for its part, has ensured that all systems are in place to
meet the expectations of QIC. "We have assigned experienced
architects to this project so that they can tailor a system
specifically for QIC to give them reliable technology which can
support the needs of their customers," underlined LGS Group
President, Raymond Lafontaine.
