It assessed the business scenario and began by successfully implementing SAP and migrating legacy data of five years into SAP. 'Following this Satyam was able to deliver business value through IT solutions by making use of new technologies such as SAP Enterprise Portals. This implementation had a positive impact across Inmarsat's value chain and business performance.' The resulting benefits were substantial reduction of cycle-time from creation of Purchase Requisition to creation of Purchase Order and tighter controls over payroll costs.
The business value offering also enabled the global locations of Inmarsat in UK, Italy, France, USA, Dubai and Singapore to come online into the SAP system processes, resulting in lower lead times and reduction in duplication of effort. Prior to this, the offices were operating their own procurement processes and these were manually updated into SAP, the release added.
