Penna Cement’s “Project Beacon” successfully implemented SAP on April 1st, 2012. The ambitious 23-week timeline, initially deemed “impossible,” was met through dedicated teamwork. Collaboration between Penna, E & Y, and I-Novate teams drove enhanced business value. Penna Management’s support at all levels was crucial for the aggressive schedule. Mr. Avinash Maramraju led Penna’s project management, with Mr. Ramesh Babu’s business insight. E & Y’s team, led by Mr. Harish Desphande and Mr. Prem, provided key PMO and SAP expertise. I-Novate, under Mr. K B Sharma and Mr. Subhash Yadav, ensured a benchmark implementation. The entire Penna Beacon Project Team is acknowledged for this achievement. Mr. B Vikram Reddy served as the Project Sponsor.
