The Indian ERP Story

In late 2000, when dotcoms were going great guns, it seemed as if ERP products were losing out to e-business and e-commerce solutions. However, the ERP market bounced back to life, when many big industrial houses announced successful implementation of ERP. The Indian ERP market received boost when SAP announced its plans to invest $125 million in Indian operations. JD Edwards followed suit and announced plans to set up a 100% subsidiary in India by early 2002 to enter the Indian market. With the emergence of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as major ERP spender with demand for module specific implementation, market was expected to make a turnaround. Meanwhile, larger ERP firms shifted their focus to the middle market with areas like Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), extended ERP and web enabled ERP gaining customer attention.

According to analysts, the growth of e-business boosted the ERP market and corporates no longer wanted a simple ERP solution. They were looking for an ERP solution that incorporated e- business elements such as CRM and SCM. The Indian ERP market witnessed a paradigm shift with more and more companies opting for second generation ERP II solutions, which include SCM and CRM. Analysts opined that ERP II would emerge as central to e-business and as long as there is a compulsion for firms to become e-enabled, it would grow robustly.

Though direct vendors dominated the ERP market, the emergence of ERP consultants in the role of third-party providers, who implement vendor solutions at client sites and providemaintenance and implementation services boosted the market further. The total cost of ownershipof an ERP dropped significantly with vendors offering country specific localization, besides large pool of skilled functional and technical talent available. Analysts felt that though large organizations were aware of ERP and ready to adopt it, the SME segment would fuel growth inthe future. It was observed that awareness about the concept of ERP increased withthe employee size of an organization - it was highest in the services segment, and among large organizations, the awareness level about ERP was the highest in the IT/Software segment.

Experts also said that the future of ERP would be more collaborative in nature. Companies will have to give up some of the independence with which they pursued information technology solutions, in order to achieve benefits of collaboration.
