Satyam is 'preferred SAP partner' for Inmarsat

Satyam Computer Services Limited, a global consulting and IT services company, on Thursday announced that it has been named as the 'preferred SAP partner' for UK-based Inmarsat Limited, a provider of global mobile satellite communications.

Satyam has been responsible for consulting, implementing and rolling out new technology solutions based on SAP technology such as enterprise portals for Inmarsat.

According to a press release, Sanjay Patel, head of operations and financial systems at Inmarsat, said, "In the current dynamic business and IT environment, selecting the right partner is critical to a project's success, as more often it is the partner's experience and capabilities that make the difference. Satyam's breadth of service offerings, commitment towards delivering business value combined with their leadership in new technology areas such as SAP NetWeaver has made them a one-stop-shop for all our SAP requirements, and our 'preferred SAP partner'."

Satyam has been chosen to leverage upon the investments in SAP and create a positive impact on various business parameters.

The Hyderabad-based IT services company was able to deliver business value through IT solutions by making use of new technologies such as SAP enterprise portals.

This implementation has had a positive impact across Inmarsat's value chain and business performance resulting in reduction of cycle-time and tighter controls over payroll costs.

The business value offering also enabled the global locations of Inmarsat in UK, Italy, France, USA, Dubai and Singapore to come online into the SAP system processes, resulting in lower lead times and reduction in duplication of effort.

Prior to this, the offices were operating their own procurement processes and these were manually updated into SAP.
