| Milestone Based Implementation Methodology |
|
|
 |
A phased customization approach supplemented by its time tested and proven methodology and clearly defined milestones to achieve a timely, cost effective and quality solution. Each phase of the project will have well defined entry and exit criteria. Pre-defined deliverables for each phase will enable us to easily track and control the progress of the project.
The methodology supports efficient project implementation management, resource planning and various types of accounting, results analysis, etc. This method allows the company to begin ERP implementation process on its own or share all the responsibility with the partner. This implies that it would be a shared platform where the files / knowledge is with the partner, as they will be a part of ERP implementation. This method of ERP implementation has grown widely popular.
The merit of this methodology is that it avoids immediate restructuring of the company. The approach is completely hands off to the business structure, after considering all options regarding the technique / business processes.

Client Testimonials
EBT's commitment and expertise made this collaboration one that will contribute to the development for companies like Major Brands within the Indian retail industry.
I know we can count on their support for other expanding markets that DVS is targeting and we look forward to seeing further strength and growth for Major Brands, with support of this scalable application and dedicated support from EBT.
Rakhee Nagpal, Managing Director, Dynamic Vertical Solutions.
We were dependent on disparate software that only addressed the accounting issues of the organization.
However with our plans to grow globally, we realized that managing each store and availability of information 24 hours was very critical to our business.
With growing business one is also faced with Inventory, Logistics, Human Resource, CRM and database issues.
We wanted a solution that will help us realize our vision to grow. LS Retail and Microsoft Dynamics NAV was a natural choice as internationally these brands are running successfully on the solution.
It's one solution and package for all our critical activities in Retail Business.
Kamal Kotak, Director, Major Brands
We have been more than satisfied with Enterprise Business Technologies Pvt. Ltd.(EBT).
Their response time has been fast and the work they have done for us in the Retail and Supply Chain Management has been second to none.
They have helped us to optimize and automate our processes, which has saved us valuable IT time daily.
I would recommend to anyone with plan to implement LS Retail and Navision to work with EBT.
The experience that they have proves itself in the speed in which they provide great results.
Satyanarayana, Manager-IT, VAH MAGNA
The implementation of Microsoft Dynamics Navision has helped us become a more efficient, transparent and capable
organization. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an excellent solution because it joins all the processes we have in our corporate
company and subsidiaries. It is so convinient for us to do IFRS reporting through Navision. Its broad functionality and high
distribution convinced us to choose navision. Our partner EBT was chosen because of its domain knowledge and high level of
commitment with realistic promises, giving us added confidence.
