How was the whole project executed?
Blue Ocean Systems leveraged their team in Singapore and Nepal, working around the clock with a firm project plan and
delivery times. Sindicatum Sustainable Resources were fully briefed from project planning to execution to ensure all
parties were happy and informed at each stage of the process.
What did the pre-implementation phase include?
The pre-implementation phase was very thorough. Blue Ocean Systems’ project manager, created a full project plan with
milestones and deadlines assigned to each step. Additionally, Blue Ocean Systems continued to send out communications,
preparation documents, instruction guides and daily updates; we remained fully briefed throughout the project.
During the implementation phase, how were the day-to-day operations of the company affected?
Blue Ocean Systems ran the legacy system and the new system concurrently; by doing the switch over during a holiday
period, the minimal amount of downtime was invisible to our users. Blue Ocean Systems worked diligently to ensure as
little impact as possible. Their support was extremely professional and always had a quick response to our queries. Due to
their global partners, we had no issues with time zones.
How was the SAP implementation received by your employees?
The best way to describe the whole process was that despite the huge task we were undertaking we were able to maintain
business as usual; in our industry this is vital.
What does SAP Business One bring to your organisation?
Our company has leveraged many benefits from SAP Business One. Of particular value to us are the reduced manual
processes (fewer Excel spreadsheets!) and the speed in producing complex reports. Additionally, Blue Ocean Systems
assisted in customising automatic daily forex updates and SAP Crystal reports; resulting in our financial team being able to
deliver a multitude of financial reporting within a short timeframe.
How does SAP Business One support a company’s growth?
SAP can start really small; it definitely fits a small company with a conservative budget, but having a robust system which is
fully scalable to support company growth, no matter how soon or what size, is vital.
