Blue Dart was stuck with a DOS-based Financial Accounting (FA) system for
over 10 years. Further, there were many peripheral systems around the main FA
system supporting the Finance work. As the system was decentralized, there was
no instant visibility of data. Au contraire the company wanted a robust, secure,
integrated, centralized and future ready Finance ERP. They went for MS Dynamics
NAV for the financial management module. As expected, the implementation was not
without a fair share of challenges. Since the operations were spread out to 63
accounting locations across the country, change management and training was a
challenge. The other challenge was to handle integration with other operations.
Since the data volume was also large, transactional performance became an
important parameter for its success. The hardware to be used required a careful
thought since the database was to address approx 1 million transactions a month.
The load balancing for 250 concurrent users became another challenge. The design
and implementation of validation controls for various processes was also equally
challenging. The implementation introduced stringent process and security
controls and seamless integration with existing operations ERP, payroll and
other systems. The implementation of mPower resulted in cost and time savings
and productivity increase. The system delivers information and intelligence
real-time. It has made life easy for about 260 accountants. The integration of
the system with the Operations ERP has allowed the company to close the month
(in financial terms) by the 2nd of next month. The company plans to leverage
implementation of this project to deliver business intelligence in future.
