The purpose of this Functional Requirement Statement (FRS) is to invite prospective vendors to
submit a proposal to supply an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to Sreevatsa Stainless
Steel Fab P Ltd.. The FRS provides vendors with the relevant operational, performance, application,
and architectural requirements of the system.

1.2 Coverage & Participation

The intended coverage of this FRS, and any agreement resulting from this solicitation, shall be for the
use of all departments at Sreevatsa Stainless Steel Fab P Ltd. along with any satellite offices. Sreevatsa
Stainless Steel Fab P Ltd. reserves the right to add and/or delete elements, or to change any element of
the coverage and participation at any time without prior notification and without any liability or
obligation of any kind or amount.

2 General Information

2.1 Original FRS Document

Sreevatsa Stainless Steel Fab P Ltd. shall retain the FRS, and all related terms and conditions, exhibits
and other attachments, in original form in an archival copy. Any modification of these, in the vendor’s
submission, is grounds for immediate disqualification.

2.2 The Organization

Sreevatsa Stainless currently has a variety of standalone information systems, many developed in-
house that do not support cross-functional coordination, do not provide sufficient data for
management analysis, and are costly to maintain.

Page 3

Sreevatsa Stainless Steel Fabricators P Ltd. 2009


In reviewing the scope for upgrading current systems, the company realized the need for
interdepartmental coordination of systems planning. The management has since been reviewing and
restructuring the existing system so as to make the transition from the existing to the new system as
easy as possible. This effort included the identification of the Scope of Work, Specifications, &
Requirements, and a Request for Information aimed at software solution vendors. The Information
Systems Master Plan was finalized in March 2007 and since then has gone through a series of
revisions. This Functional Requirement Statement (FRS) is the result of all those efforts.

The Management is now requesting proposals for a qualified ERP vendor to implement a new, fully
integrated information system that replaces many current systems. The scope of the project is expected
to include (a) software supporting a broad range of business functions, (b) server hardware &
Software (specification only), (c) and professional services including integration, customization and
training and to seamlessly integrate the operations in the various works and head office/ Branch
offices.

The management will consider proposals for ERP software supplemented with additional specialized
software, and will also consider proposals for integrated best-of-breed solutions. Preferred solutions
will (a) support all of the Key Business Functions outlined in section 4 Scope of Work, Specifications
& Requirements of this FRS, and (b) have a proven track record of integration.

Proposed solutions must address every function described in section 4 of this document in some
manner – through packaged software, custom programming, manual procedures, or a combination.

2.3 Existing Technology Environment

The following is a listing of our current technology environment.

Telephony hardware & software : Broadband Connection From Bsnl.


LAN type : Lan Thro Network Switches with Cat 5 Cable.
