Best practices solutions within reach

BANGALORE: Business software solutions provider SAP AG recently unveiled new versions of its fixed-scope, pre-defined packages of software and services. Based on mySAP ERP, the SAP Best Practices offerings are available in 28 scenarios addressing the demands of midsize enterprises in industries as diverse as retail, utilities and the public sector.






The new SAP Best Practices portfolio offers business process scenarios for specific industries, such as Batch Recall for the fast-moving consumer goods industry and Prototype Development for the high-tech industry. Customers can use industry-specific SAP Best Practices in conjunction with cross-industry scenarios for customer relationship management (CRM) and supply chain management (SCM), such as Campaign Management, Engineer-to-Order and Supply Chain Performance Management. 





SAP partners could utilize SAP Best Practices to build micro-vertical mySAP All-in-One solution offerings that leverage their unique industry expertise and service capabilities. Midsize enterprises can choose from a broad micro-vertical portfolio of nearly 600 qualified mySAP All-in-One partner solutions, available in more than 50 countries and used by more than 6,700 customers. 





"SAP solutions have helped us become a truly integrated, process-based organization that allows us to respond to market challenges quickly," said Sanjay Mittal, head of IT, Navin Fluorine International Limited.





"The SAP Best Practices pre-configured building blocks served as the foundation for rapid incorporation of globally-benchmarked best practices into each of the functionalities at Navin Fluorine. With this, a single investment has enabled us to adopt best practices as part of our business process re-engineering exercise - completed on time in just 90 days," said Mittal. 





Korea-headquartered Dongwoo STI Co., Ltd., an LCD colour filter manufacturing joint venture between Sumitomo Chemical, NSTI and Dongwoo Fine-Chem, has also seen significant benefits: "When we used our legacy system, a lot of time was consumed just collecting data from different kinds of systems and functional departments and the credibility of the data was questionable," said Myungkul Lee, management planning office chief manager/ERP project manager, Dongwoo STI Co Ltd. 





"After we applied mySAP All-in-One with SAP Best Practices, we know our data is accurate enough to share corporate-wide. Moreover the simplified user interface of our Web GUI integrated with SAP has increased the user friendliness of the new system and decreased user errors."
