SFO Technologies : IT in Business Transformation

SFO Technologies, for starters, is part of the diversified NeST Group, that
of late, has been undergoing a transformation. The company which was structured
under multiple independent legal entities, each with a project focused
operations strategy. Each business unit followed distinct, independent business
processes. As a result, SFO was losing customer responsiveness; and business
management was becoming unwieldy. The company attempted to re-model its overall
business, especially IT infrastructure with small piecemeal steps and yet no
progress was made. Then, with the help of an implementation partner Affordable
Business Solutions (ABS), the company deployed an integrated solution based on
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0 to complete its business transformation. In record
time, the company achieved all it set out to; seamless integration of all
applications and processes; access to real time information; reduction in
overall operational costs; and creation of a customer centric, agile
organization.

What SFO Technologies needed was an APS offering with pre-integrated
solutions that would eliminate the need for EAI. Thus, enabling better
operational efficiency across all SBUs and enhanced customer responsiveness.
With its previous experience with the EAI based solution, SFO Technologies was
weary to begin another implementation without complete conviction. Affordable
Business Solutions (ABS) was introduced to SFO by the private equity investor,
India Value Fund (IVF). Based on the IT Audit by ABS, it was able to convince
SFO Technologies of its subject matter expertise, ability to deliver an
integrated and customized solution.
