I just came across this from an Indian newspaper. I never thought that
Indian companies will be adopting to ERP packages with such a gusto! But then with the growth in economy and business
taking place at such a great pace it is probably necessary!
However, I thought that an open source ERP like Compiere would be more suited for the country. However, I dont see that happen in India
much! If you look at the partners of Compiere - you will find that
there is none from India!
Leading real estate players in the country are adopting ERP
(enterprise resource planning) solutions with a vengeance, says Srinivas Rao A, Executive Sponsor (small and midsize
enterprise business), SAP India. Bangalore-based Sobha Developers which initiated an ERP integration in 2003 at a
nominal cost of Rs 20 lakh claims to have benefitted from as much as 10% savings in costs, says K Suresh, Vice President,
Sobha Developers. “ERP integration of our core and back-end activities such as architecture, engineering,
purchases, invoices, payments, vendor selection, tax calculations and employee salaries has resulted in a significant time
and cost saving for the company. The introduction of ERP has also ushered in higher discipline in the organisation, besides
making statutory compliance a hassle-free affair,� explains Suresh
