Compaq, BaaN, Tata Infotech announce 'Singlepoint'

Compaq India, BaaN and Tata Infotech

today announced a strategic initiative - Singlepoint- aimed at eliminating

time and cost overruns in relation to ERP implementation. The initiative

provides customers with a single interface to meet their ERP needs by

offering easy-to-implement BaaN ERP software solutions with Compaq

hardware backed up by the implementation expertise of Tata Infotech.

Singlepoint removes the need to approach and co-ordinate with multiple

vendors, and also provides ERP solutions within a pre-determined framework

of cost and time, thus eliminating implementation delays and cost

overruns.

"The strategic initiative between three industry leaders is bound

to benefit the corporates. Singlepoint leverages the individual and

combined expertise of the alliance partners to provide the customer with

the required ERP solutions within the committed time and cost frames. This

will not only eliminate the need to co-ordinate with different vendors,

but also provide quicker return on investment," said Compaq India

Managing Director Balu Doraisamy.

Tata Infotech will contribute its expertise as system integrators of

ERP solutions, while global player BaaN will bring its ERP technology to

the alliance. The ERP solutions will be run on Compaq’s industry leading

infrastructure hardware, assuring customers the scalability and

reliability of Compaq's powerful platforms.
