An engineering division of a leading conglomerate headquartered in the
Middle East had progressively lost market share to its competitors in
recent years and was unable to recover lost ground due to legacy IT
systems. A range of disjointed applications did not offer the necessary
functionality, flexibility or scalability required by the enterprise to
win in the
market. Some of the specific challenges they faced were high turnaround
time for service call closure due to lack of a
360-degree view, lack of monitoring and control resulting in schedule
and cost over runs, high inventory costs due to lack of visibility of
stock and requirements. They approached Mindtree who in turn
collaborated with the customer to implement an SAP-based ERP system
encompassing multiple modules. Core processes streamlined included order
to cash, and opportunity to cash for contracting, product sales and
service contracts for all product variants. Mindtrees implementation
methodology optimized templates to document ‘as is’ processes and
prepare the business for ‘to be’ processes through the accelerated SAP
(ASAP) methodology. The team also ran pilots to enable better system
adaptation. Other solution highlights included were deployment of best
practices and Engineering, Construction, and Operations (EC&O)
templates, optimizing data migration strategy, weeding out duplication
and providing templates for seamless transfer of legacy data, deployment
of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools for effective call
handling and preventive maintenance. Some of the business results
achieved were 80% increase in market reach, 80% reduction in call
turn-around time, 20% inventory reduction anticipated over four years,
Shortened sales cycle.
