Fibre2fashion: What is normally the adoption period for SAP solution for a mid size textile company that is having its own in-house developed software and how easily can the transition take place?
Mr Mohapatra: For a midsize textile company, 8 to 12 weeks is easily possible with a best practice adoption approach. The advantage for a mid-sized textile company having its own in-house developed software is that they are process driven & used to working in a systemic manner to some extent. However with a standard solution like SAP coming in, some un-learning is envisaged. This transition can be effectively handled by taking support from the Top Management.
Fibre2fashion: Any new trends emerging within the textile industries by way of adopting SAP solutions?
Mr Mohapatra: Textile industry players are looking forward for extensions beyond India, are adopting online portal based solution for collaboration and are increasingly becoming cost effective in the market; post the adoption of SAP solution.
