India, December 29, 2010: IBM and Texspin today announced the implementation of “SAP All-in-One solution”, a pre-configured SAP solution with industry scenarios pre built in on IBM Bladecentre hardware at Texspin . The solution, implemented by Global Business Services will help Texspin operate as an integrated business unit, and connect more closely with their customers.
Till recently, local production, management, costing and financial business systems could not keep pace with the 120 percent annual sales growth Texspin was experiencing. Finding information was time-consuming, and discovering root causes of manufacturing delays or cost overruns was difficult leading to missed opportunities to identify and correct problems.
Texspin was looking for a solution partner that could transition their legacy systems and provide the service and support necessary to deploy the SAP landscape rapidly and cost-effectively. After speaking with other automotive-industry enterprises, Texspin Bearings selected IBM Global Business Services based on its excellent track record and deep understanding of SAP and its solution offerings. IBM Global Business Services team replaced multiple business systems and legacy infrastructure with “SAP All-in-One Solution” offering a preconfigured, preinstalled software and hardware based on IBM BladeCenter.
Vishal Makwana, Director at Texspin Bearings, stated, “The existing fragmented systems operating at different sites were not giving us the information we needed, and could not grow easily as the company expanded. Processes between sites were not connected, which lead to a lack of accountability.”
The integrated SAP All-in-One solution ensures all sites follow the same processes and product codes, allowing sales orders to be fulfilled by several sites. Executive enquiries that previously took weeks to resolve are now answered immediately. The IBM BladeCenter HS22 powered by Intel Xeon Processor 5600 Series processors offers flexible options to support a broad range of workloads, including virtualization and enterprise applications. Furthermore, it has helped them lower energy costs, leading to seven-fold increase in capacity to match business growth and an estimated return on investment in as little as 5 months.
Commenting on this engagement, Mr. Jyothi Satyanathan, Vice President, Mid Market and Inside Sales, IBM said, “The combination of SAP applications and IBM technologies will offer lower costs for customers and for Texspin by reducing delays and errors in their processes. We are glad that our team was able to complete the deployment in less than five months and exceeded client expectations”.ishal Makwana finally concludes, “The SAP Business All-in-One Fast Start Program and IBM BladeCenter solution was highly cost-effective and ideal for a mid-size enterprise such as Texspin Bearings. The BladeCenter can be rapidly expanded by the addition of blade servers, which will allow us to increase capacity exactly as we need it, helping Texspin Bearings win in the global automotive marketplace.”
