Rajiv Plastics selects SAP; to streamline IT environment

Rajiv Plastics selected SAP Business One to replace the outgrown solution of its sales office in Mumbai and Silvasa and to streamline an IT environment marked by isolated applications which delayed the flow of information and prevented fast and efficient decision making. 

Starting with an initial 10 users, Rajiv Plastics will deploy an additional 10 licenses, and is considering to extend SAP Business One to its three sales offices throughout India. The solution is being delivered by HP, one of SAP's partners in India for SAP Business One.

"With SAP Business One, we have an accurate and integrated overview of information from various departments which helps us manage our business in a timely manner and immediately respond to customer and market demands," said Manish Minocha, director, Rajiv Plastics Industries.

"When we evaluated SAP Business One against offerings from other vendors, it was superior in its adaptive and easy-to-customize technology as well as its cost-effectiveness and breadth of functionality."

"HP has seen a growing demand for SAP Business One based on the solution's ease of operation and high flexibility," said Urs Reggli, director of small and Mid Markets, technology Solutions Group, HP. "SAP has also done well in providing its partner network with the tools necessary to successfully deliver the solution and ensure maximum investment protection for customers."

An affordable business management solution designed for SMEs typically with 10 to 100 employees, SAP Business One is available in more than 40 country versions and delivered by a network of 1,200 partners who specialize in selling, implementing and maintaining the solution. A flexible platform that meets core business management needs, SAP Business One also addressed highly specified demands of various industries through a growing portfolio of more than 250 seamlessly integrated solution extensions developed by a worldwide network of ISV partners.

"This achievement of 10,000 customers in as little as three years, is a tribute to the value SAP Business One delivers and to the successful growth and influence of out channel partners," said Donna Troy, executive vice president, Global SME Indirect channels, SAP AG, at the India Summit. "This same benchmark took our competitors more than eight years. This is especially hard won in a business focused on long-term partnerships with our customers, not on shrink-wrap software sales. It's a special pleasure to mark this milestone in the fast-growing market in India, where we are seeing especially strong uptake for our SME solutions by customers and our growing partner channel.
