Infosys reduced SAP upgrade costs by up to 40%
Announcement posted by Infosys Technologies Australia 31 May 2004
Infosys will next week showcase its SAP Upgrade Toolkit for the first time in the Asia Pacific region at SAP?s annual SAPPHIRE Conference in Brisbane.
The Toolkit, along with Infosys? global approach to service delivery, has enabled Infosys to reduce the cost of SAP Enterprise upgrade projects by up to 40 per cent. In the last 12 months, Infosys has assisted five international SAP installations, with between 1,000 and 5,000 users, to upgrade to R/3 Enterprise, with cost savings ranging from $500k to $1M.
In addition to reducing costs, the Upgrade Toolkit enables Infosys to manage the risks associated with SAP upgrades and fix the time of the project.
Commenting on its increased SAP focus in the Asia Pacific region, Infosys Australia?s CEO Gary Ebeyan said: ?Our global SAP practice has enjoyed outstanding success and growth fuelled by our excellent delivery track record, vast knowledgebase and investments in tools and techniques.
?We bring our SAP capabilities to the Australian market with a particular focus on helping customers upgrade to SAP R/3 Enterprise. Our value proposition in this space is simple,? Mr Ebeyan continued. ?We accelerate project timelines, reduce costs, increase quality and give our clients the Infosys predictability.?
Integrated with ASAP methodology, the Toolkit provides both estimation and execution tools and delivers projects using CMMI level 5 processes.
Delegates and visitors to this year?s SAPPHIRE Conference will be able to experience the Upgrade Toolkit first hand as it is demonstrated on the Infosys stand.
Members of Infosys? Board of Directors will also be at SAPPHIRE to explain how Australian companies can benefit from Infosys? delivery model which utilises the company?s 700-strong local team combined with its expansive global IT capability.
SAPPHIRE 2004 will take place at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre between 1 ? 4 June 2004.
