Patni Computer Systems (BSE: PATNI COMPUT, NSE: PATNI, NYSE: PTI), a leading global IT services provider, today announced that it has successfully completed India’s first ever SAP ERP implementation for a Temple Trust _ Shri Sant Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan, the second largest pilgrimage destination in Western India.

The Trust partnered with Patni to implement the SAP ERP solution in order to streamline its various functions including automation of the Trust’s donation collection, accounting and inventory management processes. With a daily footfall of 3,000 devotees, a network of nine branches and over 20,000 daily transactions, the Trust needed to radically enhance its operational efficiencies. Post the implementation, the management has a unified view of its strategic, operational and transactional activities. It has vastly improved their ability to monitor the day-to-day operations as well as forecast the availability of finances required for sustaining its activities. This, coupled with an extensive change management exercise facilitated by Patni, has enabled seamless knowledge transfer and has improved the staff’s ability to handle large volumes of transactions.

Commenting on the progressive step taken by the Trust, Mr. S. S. Patil, Chairman, Shri Sant Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan said, “Given the magnitude of our operations, it was important for us to automate our functioning. The combination of SAP’s ERP software and Patni’s expertise in enterprise applications services and its speed-to-value approach towards ERP implementation has helped us meet our unique requirements. The solution, coupled with Patni’s change management program, has led to an increase in manpower utilization at the Trust. More importantly, it has helped us reinforce our accountability to institutions and devotees who donate funds to facilitate the Trust’s smooth functioning.”

“We are pleased to partner with the Trust for such a prestigious project and are confident that this implementation will show the way to other social institutions in terms of leveraging ERP for improving operational efficiency, ensuring accuracy and transparency in financial reporting, and driving social change,” stated Vivekanand Sangle, Senior Manager, Patni. “Given the unique nature of the temple trust, the project provided the Patni team with challenging opportunities like configuring the ERP solution to meet their unique business needs and implementing a change management program to ensure smooth transition from manual operations to a stable ERP environment,” he added.

Commenting on the nature of the implementation, Nagaraj Bhargava, Vice President, Marketing, SAP Indian Subcontinent said, “SAP is happy to be part of this pioneering initiative undertaken by Shri Sant Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan, Shegaon (SSGMS) – the first Temple Trust in India to leverage SAP ERP to “technology enable” their operations and provide access to critical information to key stakeholders like devotees, staff and temple trustees.”
