Sugar for SAP

SAP representatives were pleased to announce that Indian sugar and ethanol manufacturing giant Bajaj Hindusthan Ltd. will be implementing SAP’s mySAP ERP software. mySAP ERP’s Financials, Operations and Human Capital Management solutions will be deployed in an effort to integrate and support business functions such as finance, procurement, logistics, materials, production, sales, and human resources.

The primary objective of the deployment, stated the SAP brain trust, is no less than “to optimize BHL’s entire supply chain, exercise greater control over the inventory and streamline discrete business processes for greater operational efficiency and business growth.”

IBM has been tapped to implement the system and will oversee deployment of the ERP; IBM will also provide training to the BHL IT team in order to handle post-implementation issues. The implementation is already underway, and BHL representatives are shooting for completion within nine months. Time is of the essence, as BHL has recently released plans to found a whopping seventeen sugar plants across UP in the coming months.
