“When we approach a client, we do not sound as just another SAP and Oracle Applications services provider. We work on core of the products as we have the team with deep expertise, few of which are worked before in development of these applications, which is our key value proposition to the client,” claims Rabi Chakraborty, CEO of Fremont, CA based EC Manage. The 10-year old IT services company, incorporated in April 1999 provides SAP application services; offshore development; outsource development; and workforce management services to companies in the life sciences, retail, financial services, telecom and media, and utility/energy industries. Interestingly, the company has also indigenously developed few applications which SAP and Oracle doesn’t offer and could seamlessly work hand-in hand with larger frameworks like SAP and Oracle.

It was during 2002, when Chakraborty, an Oracle veteran, and his team decided to bestow a whole new outlook for the company, which was till then working on web technologies, Java, J2E platforms, and providing consulting services apart from developing several small extension of products. “We found applications services would be the preeminent area to work as we believed that in coming times businesses need to pursue the business applications in order to survive and be efficient and hence we began with offering Oracle, Peoplesoft applications services. In 2004, we started on SAP applications services as well. In 2006 we started on development of our own frameworks, like eMed Report, a health records management solution and eWork Bench, a workforce management solution which are hugely appreciated by our customers,” says Chakraborty.

With hundreds of ERP solutions vendors and service providers floating around, it is interesting to note that why EC Manage stands out from the crowd. On the one hand, you have big firms who threw bodies at implementation projects and clocked big time fees, and on the other hand you had these small-to-big players who were finding immigration loopholes and building body shops. Despite all these, as a competent team firm off the street, EC Manage has been betting on their core expertise and domain knowledge.

“Our consultants in the company pride themselves with their successful stints on projects on technology domain solutions such as SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Microsoft, Java, and mainframe/legacy systems. We follow a framework that allows us to approach a much broader client sector. We recognize that each organization has its own way of doing business and as such may require a custom fitted solution that is technically precise and form fitted to their business needs,” explicates Chakraborty. To make this happen, EC-Manage, which is now grown into over 692 people organization globally, deploys a wide range of technology professionals including developers, business analysts, subject matter experts, specialists in database, networking, and others, interestingly, all having average expertise of over five years.
