Significant Projects:

For a world-leading mobile satellite service provider, Sonata is developing a new Business Intelligence system using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 platform and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2010 for data warehousing, reporting and analytics. Sonata is designing a new and flexible data model to incorporate the business requirements of the customer. The solution will enhance the reporting system of the customer and allow them to accommodate changes and develop new projects. It will also ensure smooth and secure information delivery for the users.

A leading travel management organisation has engaged Sonata to develop an online travel management system with a self booking tool for their corporate customers. The solution will enable the organisation to successfully manage their corporate travel programs and meet the rapidly changing business requirements. It will also help them to optimize their IT investments, enhance their productivity and offer quality products and services to their end customers.

Sonata is engaged with a Global Construction equipment manufacturer to provide implementation services for their SAP initiative. The implementation will enable them to align their business processes to adopt the best practices and assist better decision making across their operations. This business initiative will address their operational excellence across processes that include Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Financials and Manufacturing.

For a leading provider of enterprise data integration software, Sonata is re-designing their reporting system using open source technologies to help them develop new projects and accommodate changes. Sonata is moving the existing reporting system from Informatica Data Analyzer to Jasper Server. This will allow the customer to access, visualize, analyze, create and distribute highly formatted reports both internally and externally.

For a leading cellular service provider, Sonata is integrating a COTS (Commercial – of – the – Shelf) product with their network inventory system to avoid parallel mastery of IP address. The solution will optimize the work process for the client and also help them to track and manage the IP addresses.

For a retail start-up, Sonata is deploying a state-of-the-art IT infrastructure to help them respond to the needs of their customers quickly, efficiently and with the highest possible integrity. Sonata is helping the customer implement Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail which will enable them to change and expand their business model by adding stores and distribution centers and take advantage of multichannel retail opportunities. It will also help them to enhance operational efficiency by standardizing processes across multiple sites and improve margins.
