Upgrade Assessment & implementation for a leading Innovator of GPS Technology

The Customer

This US-based client is a leading innovator of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology. The company fosters GPS components with other positioning technologies as well as wireless communications and software solutions. The company's global presence and unique capabilities position it for growth in emerging applications including surveying, automobile navigation, machine guidance and asset tracking.

The Business Challenge

The client had its Enterprise Applications running on Oracle Applications Release 10.7/SC. With intensive web initiatives brought on by global growth, the client required a web-based solution for their ERP processing. They decided to implement two major supply chain initiatives using Oracle Applications Release 11i suite as the base system.
The two initiatives were the Unified Order Entry (UOE) and Regional Fulfillment Center (RFC). Under UOE, the client looked to implement a single unified order entry and management system in order to provide all of their different worldwide sales units with one single interface to enter and manage orders. The implementation required the integration of Oracle Application Suite with client’s 3rd Party Logistics partner.

The Solution

Zensar Project Team used its Assessment Methodology to help the client drive the best Upgrade Strategy for the organization. Because of the criticality of the Chart of Accounts, Zensar placed a large project effort on developing and testing their migration routines. Zensar's technical team provided a cost effective solution to help shrink the time line, by:

Executing a streamlined and efficient methodology
Engaging expert professionals in Oracle 11i and 10.7/SC
Keeping costs low, to provide room for more resources as needed
Executing offshore mechanism
Providing Technical bandwidth that exceeded expectations

Business Benefits

Use of Offshore facilities in India brought about significant time reduction in development, setting up larger teams offshore and extending the work hours due to time difference between US, UK and India thereby benefiting the client in reducing the cost of the overall operations.
