Business Situation

The client currently manages its day to day operations through several stand-alone business applications with limited flexibility and scalability and many spreadsheets and manual processes. Due to the lack of integration across these applications, the client is not able to get end to end visibility to their operations. In addition, the current application design is not scalable to effectively enable and support its projected growth and expansion.

Business Challenges

The client intends to implement a modern, scalable, cloud-based top tier ERP solution to track their day to day business activities. The ERP solution will provide the platform to implement best practice business processes executed in tight collaboration with their many business partners including:

  • Global governmental regulatory bodies
  • Large pharmaceutical company R&D and commercialization partners
  • Contract manufacturers
  • Distributors
  • Third-party logistics providers

As part of this partnership, Birlasoft will help & support the client in its digital transformation using Oracle Cloud ERP Applications.

Birlasoft demonstrated commitment to delivering exceptional customer experience with consistent and timely follow-up on all requests and a pragmatic approach to its recommendations on how to approach their business transformation. In the end, it was this demonstration of commitment to the customer and the exceptionally deep and broad functional capabilities of the Oracle Cloud ERP solution that sat high on the list of reasons why Birlasoft was selected as a partner.
