Question :- What is the benefit of ERP? Answer :- Pantaloon has not been able to see immediate benefits from this implementation. This application certainly has long term benefits which will be seen when the performance of various aspects will be analyzed. It is too early to calculate RoI. We have already started working on MAP (Merchandise Assortment Planning), Auto-Replenishment and Purchase Orders. We hope to use these systems to optimize our inventory and cut it by about two to four weeks (depending on the line of business),
Question: - How they Maintain it? Answer :- This application is currently being used by around 1,200 employees across the organization. For maintaining this implementation and its related applications, Pantaloon has an in-house team and it has outsourced ABAP resources. They are also in the process of setting up a SAP Competency Centre. The system runs on a HP Superdome server on HP UNIX 11i and the database is from Oracle. The cost of this project was about $10 million. Question :- Are there any problem or Challenges in ERP&SAP ?
Answer :- key challenges in this project were not in the implementation. Rather, the difficulties were faced during the data migration and in managing the interim period when the project was underway for about six months. Migrating unorganized data to an organized format is a challenging task.
