IBM, Texspin to implement SAP solution

and Texspin have 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. 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
pre-configured, pre-installed 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 inquiries 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. Jyothi Satyanathan, VP-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.” He added that 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 them to increase capacity exactly as
they need it, helping Texspin Bearings win in the global automotive
marketplace.
