United Spirits Ltd, Bangalore : Project Delta

India's biggest spirits and breweries company has over 50 billing stations

spread across the country. Some of these billing stations are fully owned by the

Company. In order to connect and monitor the operations across these billing

stations, United Spirits implemented Enterprise Wide SAP in 2003. But it wasn't

too happy with the way it worked. After implementation of SAP, the Company faced

a major challenge in gain-and-retain of skilled professionals who could transact

in SAP across all stations. This led to the birth of Project Delta. Delta

created a process which used a 'JAVA wrap around,' where all inputs were taken

through a single screen. Using these inputs and SAP BAPI, Web services and all

the five processes were taken in 'One Go'. Since the SAP interaction is done

through a SAP connector, the solution is insulated from any SAP upgrades,

resulting in Delta being used extensively for Material Creation, Customer

Creation, and Backflush. United Spirits has currently implemented the project in

25 of its billing stations and has already started seeing the benefits.
