We aim to transform business performance, bringing a strategic perspective on process improvement and IT enablement. Our team blends domain experts and consultants, bringing unique capabilities to discover and resolve business concerns of the day.

Full life cycle implementation and template based rollout

Our Implementation and roll-out services are designed to put to use our vast implementation experience gained over the years by working on some of the largest and best SAP implementations across the world. Our accelerated ASAP based methodology focuses on delivering faster “time to benefit” using a vast array of accelerators like pre-configured templates, knowledge database, pre-defined test scenarios and business process maps. Our dual shore capability provides the necessary foundation to deliver best-in class solutions in the most cost effective manner.

Template based roll-out

Our template based implementation and roll-out capability provides our customers with a proven road-map to address complexities arising out of differences in business processes across locations, units and geographies. This approach enables a clearly defined and efficient process for roll-out of solutions and utilizes native SAP product capabilities. This approach also encapsulates complexities in the design phase, hence requiring a highly evolved skill-set from the solution architects and abstracts the complexities from the resources involved during roll-out and subsequent maintenance. This equips our customers with replicable process to manage future expansion of their solution footprint.

Migration and version 4. x upgrade

We recognize that customers wanting to upgrade are often not sure about the total cost of upgrading their SAP system or how much their internal IT staff will need to be augmented. Therefore, we offer an initial, free diagnostics session, to assess complexity of the upgrade - given the modules in use, the number of custom programs, interfaces and reports.

Ultimately the quality of the assessment and the actual upgrade depends on the human factor, and that's why we use only senior consultants with extensive cross-functional experience resulting in fewer consultants thus ensuring cost optimization.

We help save time and money during upgrades by:

  • Free diagnostics session
  • Proven methodology
  • Unique approach to training
  • Allocating Senior Cross-functional consultants

Testing (Independent verification & validation)

Today, IT departments within business organizations are increasingly getting more and more aligned with the core business processes for the organization. Nowhere is this trend more visible than in the ERP space.

In most implementations, the central ERP application layer is increasingly integrated with the business process layer – typically achieved by integrating various ERP component applications to a plethora of legacy and other packaged applications, as well as with one or more composite applications built on top of the ERP engine (SAP xApps), which are all in turn tuned and customized to automate the business processes for that specific organization.

The challenge faced by most global enterprises today is to simultaneously ensure:

  • Risk free SAP implementation
  • Validation and verification in terms of end-to-end business processes that affect the entire application ecology around SAP
  • Exhaustive testing in the minimum possible cycle time

Our test design focuses on not one but three axes – first, we test the consistency and validity of the end-to-end business process, not just a sub-set of it; next, we test the cross-functional impact of every transaction within such processes to ensure cross-linkage consistency; and finally, using a unique defect-tracking mechanism, we ensure that not only defects are identified, but they are tracked to closure, to ensure that nothing falls through any cracks. Together, this means that our testing delivers comprehensive quality assurance, not merely from a technical standpoint, but from a business perspective.
