Addis Ababa Water’s water improvement initiative will modernize the systems to better meet demand for clean drinking water.

The project is sponsored by World Bank, and it involves implementation of new hardware, software and networks.

Agresso was selected over competitive offerings from Oracle and Microsoft to manage finances and project planning.

The systems implementation project is expected to take two years, run in collaboration with UNIT4’s African partner ERP Software Technologies, which has operations in Addis Ababa.

UNIT4 already works with the Ethiopian Electric Power Corp and the Ethiopian Insurance Corp.

The Netherlands-based UNIT4 is a provider of business software for Businesses Living IN Change.

Addis Ababa Water is responsible for maintaining and improving the water supply in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
