DMS announces that after a successful three month implementation project Adams Resources Marketing, Ltd. goes live with GasPro software

Adams Resource Marketing (Adams) chose Data Management Solutions’ (DMS) GasPro product to replace their previous gas management software in May 2006. After a brief three month implementation project done in partnership with DMS, Adams is set to go live with their new software as of September 1, 2006.

Adams Resources Marketing Ltd., subsidiary of Adams Resources & Energy, Inc., is a Houston based wholesale purchaser, distributor and marketer of natural gas. Their operation focuses on the purchase of natural gas at the producer level, and they distribute approximately 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to customers located in market regions from the Gulf Coast through the Northeast. Supply is concentrated among approximately 60 independent producers with the primary production area being the Gulf Coast of Texas and the offshore Gulf of Mexico region.

GasPro’s proven implementation process is what allows DMS to quickly provide solutions for their clients, and Adams is the latest satisfied client. DMS maintains their 100% satisfaction implementation record with this latest successful partnership with Adams. The implementation project involved loading of source information (3rd parties, contracts, pipelines, accounting information, etc.), training users (administrators, traders, schedulers, accounting staff, etc.) on use of the product. With all their years of industry experience, Adams found all the key elements of gas marketing in GasPro easy to learn and easy to use. Following the initial data load and training of users, Adams ran a successful one month parallel test with their existing system. Frank Pena, President of DMS, says “Thorough and accurate loading of the client’s Source Information determines 90% of the success of any software installation. The rest is up to the software, and if the software works like it should, then there is no reason why any gas management software system should not be up and ready for use within 90-120 days. GasPro works like it should."

Adams also requested additional functionality in the financial trading area, as well as requested some unique reports. All enhancements were made during the brief implementation phase, and Adams’ is now depending on GasPro for their gas marketing and accounting needs and will be producing invoices out of the new GasPro system at the end of the month.
