Joining the other 30-40 companies in Pakistan (mostly large organizations like ICI and PSO), AGP Pharma is the latest SAP customer for Siemens Pakistan. The project has been kicked off, lets see how it goes. AGP Pharma has selected IBM hardware as their infrastructure servers, that part I know because Inbox was the selected vendor for AGP’s hardware requirements.

Siemens Pakistan has the largest SAP (I mean mySAP not netweaver or SAP B1 or A1) deployment team in Pakistan. Abacus Consulting is the only other SAP partner to have had some success with SAP projects locally. Criss (The sotware development wing of Cybernet) did an implementation on SAP for Lakson Tobacco last year, their team was extensively trained by SAP Malaysia and SAP Malaysia’s consultants also were engaged with the Lakson deployement. However, i havent not yet heard of Criss doing any other projects besides this one, that is if you dont count the one where they deployed mySAP in their own organization (Cybernet). To be a SAP partner, implementation of SAP within the partner’s organization is usually a hard requirement.

Cybernet posted some info on this last year when they held the summit, its quite outdated but here it is:

If anyone knows of any other projects Criss is working on, shoot me an email I will update the post.

The latest entrant into the SAP sphere is Sapphire Consulting, a small but good looking startup based out of the Technology Park building in Karachi, they have an ERP team with some senior ex-siemens SAP consultants leading it.

My next post will be on the Microsoft smartphone for the masses, (no really this time i’ll finish that post) :)
