Kuybyshevazot implemented Oracle "in 9 months", having begun in 2006

The Kuybyshevazot enterprise implemented the ERP system of Oracle in 9 months at standard project duration about 2-3 years. It is good result, experts say if not to consider that the company prepared for the project with 2006 and earlier signed the contract with GMCS.

JSC Kuybyshevazot completed creation of a corporate system on the basis of Oracle E-Business Suite. The company implemented the full-scale version of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with a complete scope of production in extremely short time – 9 months.

The strategic objective of the project consisted in complete standardization and automation of the main business processes from accounting before purchases of raw materials and the equipment, as was made. IBS Borlas acted as integrator of the project.

As Vyacheslav Kovalyov commented, the head of department of DPC of Open Technologies company, Oracle E-Business Suite is the product similar to SAP R/3. "Projects based on these products are expected several years. As a rule, the first year - start of the pilot, second or third - adjustment of other business processes", - he told.

According to him, usually main problem consists that at our enterprises the processes which were outdate business which do not lay down on a system therefore the main time leaves on their reorganization and adjustment are used, and it can last about 2 years.

"Everything depends on "neglect" of the enterprise. I believe that in this, specific case, with it it was easier as similar management process was already adjusted, it also allowed to reduce sharply project terms", - he concluded.

Of course, for the separate taken Oracle "Kuybyshevazot" project achieved excellent results if not to take the fact that implementation of Oracle had to begin in 2006 into account.

Then the enterprise concluded the corresponding arrangements with GMCS integrator, works had to start in the first quarter 2006, but that then stopped implementation of these plans – it is not known. In such context if to consider process of system implementation not technology, and from decision-making and search of the contractor before achievement of result, on it 5 years were required.
