New Update

The company faced issues in business planning processes, and was using

non-standard business planning across all the business units. Plus, the

monitoring of business performance online to check past performance was not

available. They deployed SAP ERP which is the transaction platform, and along

with it SAP BI was used for reporting & dashboarding with analytics. SAP BPC

which is used for Business Planning was also implemented. It also drove a

seamless integration amongst SAP ERP, SAP BI and SAP BPC using a common

platform.

One of the challenges faced was the standardization of business planning taking

in consideration the specific requirements of the business lines that were

across 5 business lines of Sterlite Technologies. So, all the important data

from past and present had to be collated and customized in the form of reports.

Another challenge was related to speed as the designing & integration of

reports/dashboard was also a major factor considering the flow of information in

it. Also, the integration had to be accurate and seamless considering the

sensitive nature of data that was involved.

The impact of the project can be considered in terms of two factors:

Productivity Gains and Analytics. The automation based on new technologies,
accurate and structured Business Planning, and savings on time are also some of

the benefits. For Analytics, Alerting, Alarming, ad-hoc reporting are also some

benefits that helps in decision making.
