Bangalore: SAP, now has the contract from the Indian Navy for implementing an enterprise-wide central online financial information system (FIS). The contract was secured through an open product agnostic tender scenario. WIPRO participated in the tender and the key decision criteria for selecting the IT partner were its capabilities, functionalities, seamless integration and industry leadership and experience, which were able to address the administration requirements.
The Indian Navy needed to effectively and efficiently manage and control naval budgets and make timely decisions from the voluminous financial information available across multiple locations in the country. Central instance implementation of SAP solutions, including enterprise resource planning (ERP) software SAP ERP Central Component, the SAP Force Deployment for Defense & Security package and the SAP BusinessObjects Access Control application, commenced in March 2010.
The project is expected to go live by September 2011. Indian Navy will seek to unify its business processes and automated financial information systems to lower overall maintenance costs, improve management decision-making and resource management, and enhance combat readiness.
SAP will leverage its global best practices to help the service effectively save money, save time and save lives.
