Getz Pharma joins the SAP bandwagon
Posted on June 20th, 2008 in Uncategorized |
Getz Pharma just became the latest client to sign on for implementing SAP across the board in their 
organization. Siemens will be implementing the solution. (and why Siemens as opposed to Abacus could someone tell me?) . Getz is one of a handful of very successful local Pharmas that have branched out into other countries and are growing rapidly.
Implementing multimillion dollar ERPs also indicates that there are local manufacturing concerns that despite the overall “slow” (6% ) growth of the economy are doing well.

Well SAP has certainly gained momentum over the past 7~8 years and now is a common buzzword for those who even dont know about ERPs, as opposed to being a rare commodity earlier at least in Pakistan. And contributing to its wide-spread spill is the leading giant Siemens Paksitan.
Abacus is a neonatal identity which has joined the bandwagon just 3 years ago maybe, thriving initially and to a larger extent currently on the resources trained/educated by Siemens.
That’s can be one of the reasons GETZ has chosen to stay with the leader.
If you have any other perspective why should Abacus be a solution of choice then please do share , would love to hear it.

Getz Pharma has become nation’s top Pharmaceutical company already, if I am not mistaken. Their new building, interior design and the outsourced website design to a foreign country can only speak for their need to do bigger and better things. So, it’s no surprise for me that they chose Siemens (rightly so too) over Abacus.
Looking at the awfully ugly screens/interfaces of Apps at the brightest and biggest banks and other top firms only make you think that if outsourcing our work to foreign firms may be the right choice.
sure… so that it can then be sourced right back to India
. Siemens also has a fully local force btw, no one comes from Europe or elsewhere unless there is a dire need. the Siemens team is locally homegrown and supported…
Abacus, while 100% local is also a very strong player and has done great work… one should not discount any local company because its local. Local companies, overall have a much much better track record than foreign firms in Pakistan.
Mohtashim, I strongly agree with you. I have had the chance to work with both local and foreigh vendors and the value for money just isn’t there with foreigh vendors.
By the way, whenever working with vendors (foreigh or local) it always helps to have some bit of inhouse expertise to ensure high quality.
Well the credentials of being “Local” as they are explained and mentioned obviously filter Siemens as being the right partner chosen. Please be informed that Siemens Pakistan is a fully independent local establishment of the German conglomerate, serving in the Indo-Pak reigon since pre-partition, when the still-to-be-born telegraph and telephony and electrical works were conceived.
SAP services were introduced in Pakistan by Siemens Pakistan for the first time way back in 1999, when it was the first and only VAR (Value Added Reseller) and CIP (Certified Implementation Partner), and it was all made possible by local Pakistanis working across all the hierarchy levels of the organization. Infact very much local and wheatish (a local leading indicator:-) as you and me would be.
So to sum up, its better to stay with the pioneer with a strong local presence and on-call foreign support. With a leading portfolio of implementations, with the capital to sustain in adverse and unlikely project situations and to absorb employee turnovers while meeting client commitments. Guess they are some of the major factors any organization and decision makers look for when investing in a captial intensive ERP project roll-out. So whether local or foreign, a search for the meeting these criteria makes it obvious why GETZ Pharma chose Siemens Pakistan.
The views expressed hereof are not associated or are a byproduct of the website owner’s thinking, you don;t have to adhere to the same necessarily, however would appreciate if you can show up to differ with a difference.

well said. Local rocks. Dont give into the marketing hype. Local companies will rule because they are just better at what they do..and their skillset needs to be built to respond to local customer needs..
