Fibre2fashion spoke exclusively to Mr Priyadarshi Mohapatra, Head (SME Sales) - SAP India, who shared his thoughts on how SAP ERP solutions can bring down the rising production costs for textile companies in India. Mr Mohapatra is responsible to grow SAP's market share in the highly competitive SME & channel business across industries in India.

Fibre2fashion: Today, particularly textile SMEs and MSMEs are seeking to adopt revolutionary ERP solutions from SAP. What are they and how cost effective they can be?
Mr Mohapatra: SAP has over the past years worked closely with various textile companies be it spinning, weaving, processing for both natural as well as manmade fibers. In the process, SAP has developed deep industry knowledge. SAP worked closely with the Partner Ecosystem to make this knowledge available as pre-configured ready to use solution.

This has considerably brought down the implementation efforts and therefore the investment that customers need to make to acquire these solutions. SAP Business All-in-One (SAP BAiO) and it's various options of On Premise/On Demand/On Device are really revolutionary solutions which will address the requirements of textile SME/MSMEs.
