A lack of local business practice understanding / compatibility coupled with few qualified personnel and high costs have made it difficult for Enterprise-wise Resource Planning (ERP) to succeed in the Sri Lankan market, according to Sanji De Silva, the Chief Executive of IT company Bileeta, who was quoted in a company statement.
Offering an ERP solution developed locally over a 10-year period to over these problems, Bileeta, in the same statement, also indicated that its flagship product, Bileeta ERP V6.0, was "designed to support medium to large enterprises" and that it used only locally people and resources to keep costs down as well as having "developed its systems from a local perspective, for example, its dynamic tax configuration caters to ever changing regulatory requirement in local taxes etc."
The company further noted that its product included modules for "sales and marketing, sales force automation, accounts receivables, accounts payable, inventory management, warehouse management, production support & manufacturing, banking and fund management".
Additionally noted; "The problem the world over is that about 57% of all ERP implementations are 'challenged', i.e., gone over budget and taken much longer than planned." However, Bileeta stated that it had a 100% success rate so far in terms of implementation.
