“Orders that previously took four or five days can now be seen in five
minutes. We’re now able to track salespeople out in the field and see
what they’re doing. This is all making us a lot more eicient, reducing
time-to-market and ensuring we give a better service to our customers.”
— Swapan Dutta, head of Electronic Data Processing Department, Eagle Home Appliances
Having recently launched a new travel
and tourism arm, Eagle is constantly
growing and found that its legacy ERP
system could no longer provide the
necessary level of support.
“We used an ERP system that was
just restricted to accounts. A lot of our
processes were not covered by it so the
company decided to change to SAP,”
explains Swapan Dutta, the head of
Eagle’s Electronic Data Processing (EDP)
Department. “Our aim is to connect the
entire company to SAP with data stored
in a central location. Previously everything
was very manual and that was aecting the
business because delivery schedules and
delivery dates are very important.”
Since it only has a small IT team and
virtually no infrastructure, Eagle decided
that the best route, particularly in the early
implementation phase, was to outsource the
SAP application to a cloud services provider.
“We don’t have our own data centre and
we are on a trial run with SAP right now,”
adds Dutta. “People are learning how to
use SAP and until everyone has learned
the processes we did not want to go to the
expense of creating our own infrastructure.”
Eagle wanted a robust solution that
was highly available with low latency
and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
It also wanted a provider who could deliver
the solution in as little time as possible.
Solution
Outsourced cloud
Eagle decided that the provider who could
best meet its needs was AllTimeIT Solutions
Pvt Ltd (AllTimeIT), a group of Indian IT
infrastructure service providers who recently
partnered with Hewlett Packard Enterprise
to create a service called eiCloud, built on
an HPE CloudSystem platform. With this
service, AllTimeIT aims to be one of the
top three cloud service providers in India
by 2015. Eagle’s partner Vintech Electronic
Systems, introduced the company to the
AllTimeIT solution and advised them that it
was the best solution.
“eiCloud is a pay-per-use cloud model that
delivers reliable cloud services, tailored to
meet the IT needs of small and medium
businesses,” says Ajay Sawant, managing
director at AllTimeIT.
