Bangalore, March 17, 2009
Wipro Infotech, the India and Middle East IT Business of Wipro Ltd and a leading provider of IT and business transformation services announced that it has implemented Oracle's eBusiness Suite 11i for Flex Americas, S.A. DE C.V (subsidiary of Uflex Ltd, India) in Mexico This unique implementation is a global business process rollout of Oracle's eBusiness Suite at their Mexico facility.

Wipro has implemented Oracle eBusiness Suite (EBS) 11i with multi lingual support in both in English and Spanish. The Modules rolled out at Flex, Mexico are: Oracle Financials (AR, AP, GL, FA & CM), Purchasing, Order Management, Inventory, Process Manufacturing and MAC Costing. The project involved rolling out the existing Oracle Apps implementation done at Noida to Mexico, South America. This was needed to be done with Mexican localization features which include Bi-lingual Forms and Reporting in English and Spanish Languages.

Uflex, as part of its global strategy is setting up state of art manufacturing facilities in all major continents to ensure faster response time to localized customers embarked on this project in Mexico. Under the leadership of Mr. Pradeep Tyle, CEO, Uflex group expanded internationally its manufacturing locations in UAE, Mexico and Egypt.

Speaking on the occasion of the go-live, Mr. Ravi Ramakrishnan, Head IT, Uflex - Film Business said "We are satisfied the way the project was executed by the Wipro team and also feel that this was the most timely and hassle free implementation looking back at the past rollouts done so far. Seamless coordination between different teams from Wipro also worked out in our favour. The project vision as dictated by the Project Director- Mr. PL Sirasmakar, President -Film Business which clearly laid down that we meet all business objectives within time limits has been satisfactorily met."

Also Mr. Sanjay Chatterjee, Project Manager-ERP, Uflex - Film Business said "We are very pleased to have gone live with this implementation that enables us, to provide our center in Mexico, with world-class fully integrated business application suite, which is adapted to a global business platform. Having had prior experience in ensuring offsite service delivery to our Dubai manufacturing location and now adding another center at Mexico brings in significant competitive advantage. It was a challenge working almost 12 hours behind the clock and with a language and localization we were not very versed with initially."

The Project involved replicating the existing solution design and implementation with existing application customization and developed reports to a separate instance. The key requirement of this rollout is its unique multilingual setup with Mexico localization features. The biggest perceived benefit of this rollout was Integration and lower costs attributable to offshore delivery. The modules which have been implemented are Finance, Order Management, Purchasing, Process Manufacturing and Oracle Inventory Management.
