Is It Right Time To Invest In SAP Business One?
I read in TOI today that India has become the fifth largest economy in the world for the first time in last 150 years, by pipping UK to the sixth position. Though the margin of difference is small today, it is expected that it will keep increasing since India is expected to grow at 6 to 8 per cent per annum, as against 1 to 2 percent per annum of UK. This seems to be a reflection of the fact that the fundamentals of Indian economy are sound and it has the potential to keep moving up this ranking in years to come.
Industrial output is one of the key contributors to the economic growth. Whereas the output by large companies is often discussed and celebrated the SME sector too keeps contributing to the economy, though with less fanfare. In India, around 36 million SMEs are generating 80 million employment opportunities, contributing 8% of the GDP, 45% of total manufacturing output and 40% of the total exports from the country.
With increased globalization the Indian SME has to compete with international players. For them to be able to succeed in this, they need highly skilled labor force along with timely redressal of financial needs and technological up gradation. Adopting international best practices in manufacturing is important to ensure the cost of production can be managed at competitive levels, while increasing the quality of products. Improvement in capabilities of manufacturing, packing or distribution does bring it advantages to the company. However, this has to be supported by building a strong Information Technology infrastructure to improve the overall operational efficiencies which are influenced by planning, procurement, warehousing, inventory management, production and even after sales service.
This is where an internationally proven ERP solution from SAP, developed for SME sector in particular, comes into play. Used by 50,000 plus companies across the globe and about 5000 companies India, this application has got the required capabilities that can help a customer in SME achieve significant improvement in the manner it manages it business. And to top it all, this package application comes at an affordable cost for SMEs.
