SaaS is new growth engine for Ramco

(INFORMATION WEEK) - In a short span of about two years, Ramco has achieved a customer base of over 150 with more than 2,000 users—an impressive figure for an Indian product company that has been using a new delivery model—SaaS.

“We are seeing a huge growth in demand from Indian SMBs, and expect demand to grow at more than 50 percent on the SaaS front in the next fiscal year,” says an optimistic S Sunderaraj, Senior VP, India Operations at Ramco Systems. The SaaS-based solution is apt for SMBs with pricing starting as low as Rs 5,500, deployment time of six weeks, and since there is no need to buy hardware.

A case in point is Srinisons Wiring Systems, a manufacturer of automobile wiring harness, which chose Ramco’s SaaS-based ERP over traditional ERP systems. “In addition to the cost savings, we also find the SaaS model attractive as payments are tied down to the quality of the software and support provided—which is critical for an SMB with a small IT team,” says Kesavan Srinivasan, Executive Director, Srinisons Wiring Systems.
