The Chennai based pharma major, Orchid Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd., reported that it has gone live on its SAP ERP implementation. The company has completed its implementation phase and is now running the modules across the organisation.

After extensive evaluation, Orchid selected the SAP ERP solution and embarked on the implementation activity in September last year. Orchid has completed implementation and has gone live one and a half months ahead of the targeted time frame of 8 months.

The SAP initiative at Orchid is code named Project OMEGA (Orchids Management of Enterprise resource planning project through Group work to Achieve success). Since Orchid has been technology savvy and had the basic IT backbone in place, the investment has been limited to licensing costs, consulting charges and intra-locational networking requirements. Siemens has been the implementation partner while SAP has been the technology partner for this exercise, the company informed BSE.
