ETA - ASCON & ETA STAR Group selects SAP ERP to support business performance

When implemented, this business solution will provide the Group with a common platform & standard processes for managing customer relationships.

The Group has selected L&T Infotech Limited, India, one of the reputed global players of SAP implementation as the implementation partner for the first phase of the Project, which will then go onto support all financial & HR data across the company for more consistent reporting, and improving visibility and information accuracy in all functional areas of management.

Mr. Arif B. Rahman, Group Director - Finance, said, "We operate in ten core verticals, i.e. Engineering & contracting, trading, shipping, manufacturing, retail, automotive, services, healthcare, travel ad leisure and education. After an extensive evaluation of Tier I and Tier II vendors of ERP business solutions, we selected SAP since SAP's organic and integrated approach would have the maximum ability to harmonize information across diverse business landscapes. By choosing SAP to implement a single, integrated technology platform across the Group, we can more rapidly achieve the benefits of the combined organization and provide with a strategic and competitive advantage going forward."

Starting with 1000 user licenses for the mySAP ERP and my SAP CRM suites, the first phase of the project will begin soon with the implementation of all the relevant modules in three pilot Divisions and Financials & HR modules across the Group.
