SAP Infrastructure
Our Basis Experts provide clients with highly available IT infrastructure solutions, consulting, integration and support services. We offer Business Process Transformation solutions, from Process Analysis to building and monitoring Business Processes, as well as aligning and streamlining processes to support business strategies. Customers have access to the industry know-how, best practices and decades of expertise in deploying global infrastructure solutions.

Enterprise Portals
In an information sensitive global business environment, nuggets of information that a company has to the exclusion of it's competition is a big bonus. The case of unstructured, unclassified strands of information, residing in corporate information silos that no one knows exist is both a major obstacle and a tremendous opportunity. This is where mySAPTEnterprise portal solution fits in to the solution landscape. A well architected solution, provides a comprehensive, methodical and easy-to-access repository of previously unstructured information, which can now be made available as actionable Intelligence and makes it available to your employees across times zones and geographical borders. The sophisticated fuzzy search and intuitive authoring and publishing of this solution makes user acceptance a cinch. And the best part is that you can integrate it with other non-SAP related portals and empower the decision makers with a global view of the intra-company information.

Exchange Infrastructure XI
The single most important benefit of utilizing SAP XI ( a SAP NetweaverT component) is a process centric approach across heterogeneous landscapes- so that the focus on the business process is not lost in the decision making iterations for evaluating IT landscapes to support the proposed solution.

Problems of iterative landscape design, has led to heterogeneous landscapes to support a majority of the IT application processes. To achieve a better fit and greater support of business functionality several sub-systems which are primarily developed to fill some gaps have evolved. As the business grows these systems often hinder seamless integration with a process-centric approach , as opposed to a system- centric slant. As a result the TCO of the landscape tends to remain high and affects a fresh new look. There are situations where some home grown application are filling a niche need admirably and hence need not be replaced. In other cases, to completely gut the existing landscapes is not a viable option.

If the goal ultimately is to create an ESA ( Enterprise Service Architecture) blue print, SAP XI provides a valuable pathway. SAP XI runs on SAP Web AS component, and comes with connectivity , protocol and format flexibility for seamless integration.

SAP XI reduces integration and on-going maintenance costs by

1. Providing a Central Repository for Interfaces- making it a lot easier to maintain
2. Supporting Cross-component intra-solution BPM ( Business process Management)
3. Integrated tools to support customization of interfaces, mappings, and routing rules to fit business needs. Extensive
4. Adapter library for non-SAP Application integration

Business Intelligence (BI)
The availability and pro-active application of business critical information - Business Intelligence (BI) -enables companies to respond to the dynamic changes in the business scenario, and thereby retain their competitive edge. Insight into competition, market dynamics, customers, products and operations across the value chain allows companies to substantially increase revenues and reduce costs - enhancing bottom-line profitability. The challenge is unfolding the business value emerging out of a BI solution, that otherwise remains untapped in a host of isolated data sources across the organization. Our BI practice has helped clients leverage business-critical information across enterprises for intelligent and pro-active decision-making.

Customer Relationship Management
The business processes surrounding Customer Acquisition, Interaction, service history and dispute resolution are increasingly important and integral to profitability by assuring customer loyalty in a hyper competitive global environment.

Supply Chain Management
As corporate entities continue to reap the benefits of globalization, they also face uncertainty in terms of managing steps. The traditional linear Supply Chain Management no longer can work well for a company whose supply chain spans the globe. This environment demands a highly synchronized and adaptive supply chain model. SAP SCM T suite provide a comprehensive set of application to successfully implement a Demand Driven Supply Chain management solution, which is transparent, adaptive, and transcends barriers for active collaboration with your supply chain eco-system.

Supplier Relationship Management
The mySAPT Supplier Relationship Management (mySAP SRM) solution provides a systematic approach for formulating and optimizing a global sourcing strategy. By consolidating and anticipating supply needs of a company, analyzing historical buying patterns, and tracking current market trends, corporations can help evaluate the capacity of suppliers all over the world to deliver high-quality goods that match the specific needs of the company.
