Bileeta offers affordable ERP systems
The popular belief is that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
solutions are complicated and are meant for large organizations. This
misconception is most probably due to the fact that one often hears
about ERP solutions being extremely expensive, taking very long to
implement, generally not delivering what the customer really wants and
incompatibility with business processes.

All of the above concerns, as well of many others have been addressed
by Bileeta, a locally developed ERP System. Bileeta has been developed
over a period of 10 years using the latest technologies to offer maximum
level of configurability which in turn can support unique Sri Lankan
requirements.
Bileeta has been designed to support medium to large enterprises.
More and more enterprises are realizing the vital importance of having
the correct information on a timely basis to succeed in these
competitive times. Having a cost effective system to provide such
information has become a must have for most of these organizations.
“Enterprises are aware of the advantages of ERP and have implemented
solutions that are primarily designed for a western framework of doing
business, ignoring the nuances and widely diverse business practices and
systems in Asia. What we have done here is to design a solution that
allows local companies to retain their unique character while maximizing
and enhancing their business processes to achieve optimum results,” said
Bileeta Chief Executive Officer Sanji De Silva.
Sadly, general know-how on the availability of such solutions is
lacking. Elaborating on the difficulty of implementing ERP in Sri Lanka,
he said, “Local business practices, a lack of qualified personnel and
the high cost of ownership have hitherto made it difficult for ERP
solutions to be successful in the Sri Lankan market.”
“Seeing the real need to bring this type of process management to
businesses here in Sri Lanka, we have developed our solution over a
10-year period to ensure that all factors that pertain to the Sri Lanka
business climate have been taken into consideration. In addition, the
flexibility of the solution we offer here at Bileeta addresses a
long-felt need both locally and regionally,” said Bileeta Chief
Operation Officer Sanka Weerasinghe.
The problem the world over is that about 57% of all ERP
implementations are “challenged”, i.e., gone over budget and taken much
longer than planned. In this environment, Bileeta has achieved a 100%
success rate so far, resulting in a set of extremely satisfied
customers.
How has Bileeta achieved this? Firstly Bileeta uses only local
professionals as their employees.
This has resulted in the development of its product much more
cost-effectively relative most of its competitors. Secondly, Bileeta
also uses only local resources for all its implementations, unlike most
others who have to get down resources from overseas, adding further to
Bileeta’s cost advantage.
