Key Questions in the minds of Small Business Owners / executives

Are we ready for computerization / ERP ? Should we invest on IT now? How much will it cost? So many products available in market..and which one to buy? Will it work for us? Should we buy expensive foreign product or less expensive Indian product? Should we go behind brand..or choose a product that will suit our business? What happens our business scenario changes after we put one system? How much would it cost to make changes in the product? Should we evaluate product or the technology behind the product? Should we select based on the product or the implementing partner? What are the evaluation criteria? (price, performance, user friendliness, implementation time, ease of customization, change management etc)

What Mr.Sivasailem, IAS, MD says.

Agile Labs are our our main Technology partners implemented through M/s Bluechip Marketing Pvt Ltd. They have set up the e-infrastructure for our operations that spans more than 53 depots spread over 29 districts, more than 6000 products of over 180 suppliers spread over Karnataka, India and the world. They have enabled the practical application of the concept Decentralised

operations with

centralized control enabling a seamless blend of operational and strategic decision-making to be done on the same information platform. The system solution is solid, secure, robust and reliable. It is amenable to integration with other software systems. Their ability and willingness to integrate systems developed by other
developers (in our case by the NIC-Karnataka) confirms the versatile nature of their systems and profusely speaks volumes about their confidence in their technological solution and

their willingness to work with other technology partner organizations that our company is associated with. What is particularly
striking about the Agile Labs team is their attitude of maintaining continuing relationship with their customers on a long term basis not through imposing themselves with software and systems that make them indispensable but by their friendly support services which is not just desirable but affordable.

Simply put, they are good people to be friends with but even better business partners
