January 22, 2009 – A training session was conducted at Tenaga Nasional Berhad’s (TNB) training institute “ILSAS” in the TNB University’s campus on January 8th, 2009. Joined together were attendees including ten buyers from the Procurement, Distribution, Generation and Transmission Division to be trained on the APUG SIS Search System.

Rashidi Zainal Abidin, Head (Sourcing Controller) of TNB, started off with an introduction to the team. Desmond Ho, Achilles Hong Kong Business Development Manager, then kicked off with a presentation on the Asia Pacific Utilities Group (APUG) and its relationship with TNB. The Steering and Working Groups were explained along with the advantages of becoming members to APUG.
The APUG SIS Search system was then trained on the big screen with individual attention given to each buyer if required, by Elaine Tsui, Customer Service Coordinator of Achilles Hong Kong. The feedback from the attendees was that the training was extremely helpful. They are now confident to make use of the system in helping them on their procurement process and Achilles would provide ongoing support to the users. In addition, it was advised that Buyer sourcing requests to Achilles can be made at anytime. All in all another very successful event.
Upcoming Events for Achilles Australia: An in depth training session for Mighty River Power is scheduled at their offices in Hamilton, New Zealand in February 2009.
