is an important area that is picking up in India. If there is an
invoice creation in
href="http://dqindia.ciol.com/content/dqtop20_09/CompanyRanking/2009/109071114.asp">SAP,
there are default ways of creating invoices for finance, materials
management, and HR. On top of each of these data adders there are
business process concepts. It takes five steps and nine screens to
implement and compose the data in 12 minutes. It is not only difficult
but also archaic. However with Fiorano software, HTML screens can be
designed where all the invoice data can be stored in one go. The
Fiorano software has three build blocks mainly drag, drop, and connect
to compose the data. In two steps, two screens in two minutes, the RoIs
for our customers are impressive. Fiorano did not had a single failed
ERP implementation.

Please
give us details on the agreement with the
href="http://dqindia.ciol.com/content/cio_handbook1/2004/104022401.asp">UB
Group?
UB Group had a growing number of processes without a centralized
framework which made the management of the processes very difficult.
Out of the many processes that UB Group had deployed using Fiorano, the
SAP integration solution was the one of the key process that helped it
save over million rupees. UB not only saved consulting costs of a SAP
consultant who would normally be required for such job it also helped
save money on the SAP client license as now the Fiorano SAP adapter was
able to seamlessly connect to the SAP using a single client license.
What
are the key challenges faced by software product companies in India?
It takes a lot of time for companies to understand different working of
products and specially the middleware business. We have to make a
market presence and most of the software product companies have been
not so successful in creating long term relationships. Efficiency in a
product is key and this is what we feel is an opportunity for us. This
is one the reasons why Fiorano deployment has never failed even once
and we continue to move on the strategies we have outlined. In India,
technical people are very smart.
What
kind of expertise do you have in place?
We sell the core technologies in the product. Fiorano has some in-house
engineers who get the job done and there is no need for companies to
hire a consultant for this product. Our own engineers can deploy this
product in the IT infrastructure at faster and cheaper ways.
What
is the value proposition your company offers?
Faster, cheaper and better products are the key value propositions our
company offers to customers. We can solve the problems in quick
response time with cost effective solutions. Through our solution
companies can implement new business processes much faster. People are
becoming more pragmatic and decisions are happening. People now need
faster technologies to be deployed in their IT infrastructure.
Solving business problems quickly with cost effective solutions is our key strategy
