2. BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The details of the business operations appear in the following pages.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The enterprise resource planning (ERP) industry has been rapidly evolving and has reached a high level of maturity. While large legacy vendors are busy acquiring products to complete their offering or offer Cloud capability, Ramco invested in organically growing to give a comprehensive ERP suite to address business needs with a Cloud, mobile and bot-ready application. All this and more have helped us win the trust of customers which led to Ramco ERP making its entry into the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Core Financials, Cloud HCM and Enterprise Asset Management. Ramco ERP was also positioned in IDCâs MarketScape report for SaaS ERP

But we realised, building a standard ERP will not suffice the growing demand for verticalized ERP solutions. Hence, over the last couple of years, we identified and invested in building an ERP to address the service side of Logistics business. Today, this division within the ERP business unit has grown towards contributing more than 50% of the ERP order book. Similar to Logistics, we have started identifying select niches in People-centric Services segment such as Staffing and Professionals services and Asset centric ERP organizations, which have started to see some green shoots of success. With a strong Finance module as the base, we plan to market these chosen segments to build yet another solid base for the ERP business.

Last year be it new customer acquisitions, product innovation, or recognition through awards, Ramco Logistics ticked all the right checkboxes at the right time. The product improved its stability & robustness with go-lives at organizations with multifaceted & intricate business requirements. With day-to-day learning and inputs from customers, prospects and partners, the product is now growing leaps & bounds.

Moving to the world of frictionless computing, the year witnessed focused technological advancements in the product, to help users embrace the Zero UI concept, through:

a) Text based interactions - From stock enquiry to work order request, chatbots entered the ERP landscape like a breath of fresh air. ERP users who hitherto had to make do with boring clunky screens, were welcomed to a whole new world on chat-based interactions with an intelligent Bot which could respond to users and help them transact with the ERP without requiring to toggle multiple screens

b) Voice based interactions - Based on NLP, Ramco is enabling users to talk to the ERP via Google Assistant & Amazon Alexa to get transactions done.

c) Offline ERP access - This FY, we also pioneered transaction processing leveraging voice based commands in situations where internet may not be available

d) Visual based interactions - Powered by our partner Microsoftâs HoloLens, the year witnessed some pilot use cases to enable easy execution of logistics processes through visual cues. This has been targeted to eliminate errors and improve efficiency of operations, handsfree

New Tax Regime: From implementation of Goods & Services Tax in India to launch of Value Added Tax in U.A.E; the tax compliance and enablement teams were busy round-the-clock to ensure clientsâ business activities were not impacted.

Some of the marquee ERP customers acquired during the year include, U.S. based mining and silica producer; LBC express in Philippines, Indonesiaâs leading Logistics provider, Indiaâs largest suspension system Automotive company among others. Our strategic entry into some of the key US based accounts has been resonating well and will help us create inroads in the region, for our long term growth.

On the innovation front, Blockchain was the flavor of the season. Our works at the Innovation Lab included pilot applications for Blockchain where LSPs could come together to form a Blockchain consortium, which would in turn enable them to share idle capacity & eliminate dependency on middle men.

Alongside receiving customer endorsements, the year also witnessed recognitions from various industry associations. Some notable awards that we bagged during the year include -

a) âLogistics ERP of the yearâ award by Global Logistics Show

b) âBEST IT Solution Provider in Supply Chain & Logisticsâ in 2017 award by ISCM - Institute of Supply Chain Management

For the year ahead, the aspirations are high be it from a quantitative (Revenue, customer acquisition etc.) or a qualitative (Product enhancements, Innovations etc.) point of view. But with a strong foundation and fundamentals set in place, we are confident of reaching newer heights and achieve the unimaginable in years to come.

With constant focus on simplifying HR operations, Ramco HCM has been enabling large MNCs and Fortune 100 giants automate traditional HR transactions and drive business benefits across multiple HR functions. This approach has enabled organizations focus on people and not spend time navigating around systems or worrying about future changes. This year, we focused our energies and effort in leveraging HR technology to deliver superior âEmployee Experience. Our extensive efforts in the cloud enterprise space and thrust on innovation and usability has enabled us to disrupt the HR segment and challenge established players who have grown by acquiring multiple niche products.

Year 2017 was the year of achievements and endorsements! Ramco HCM bagged some of the most coveted titles in the industry. The year marked our debut into the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud HCM Suites and The Forrester WAVE for SaaS HRMS - being the ONLY APAC VENDOR to make it into the quadrant.

The entry into the Gartner Magic Quadrant and Forrester WAVE was indeed a validation of the product capability and success we have witnessed for our HCM suite. While we have built a strong presence in Asia, Australia and Middle East, this recognition has helped further build the momentum in U.S and Europe where we are relatively new entrants.

With focused efforts on addressing the changing market dynamics, year 2017 also witnessed Ramco pioneering the concept of Zero UI with Chatbots based ESS/MSS and facial recognition-based time and attendance (T&A) system and tag-based skill search feature. Ramcoâs Chia (chatbot) has been aiding organizations increase productivity, by helping users complete day-to-day transactions in a jiffy while helping managers in understanding, planning and retaining their high performing talent.

Move to T&A, and itâs time to âSay Cheese with Ramcoâs Face APIâ! Facial Recognition based Time & Attendance made heads turn during the year. Programmed to scan employeesâ face the moment they enter and clock in their attendance was indeed an innovative feature to help organizations authenticate, trace, and interact with employees at various levels.

Not just global endorsements, the previous year was a year of awards as well. During the year, Ramco HCM bagged some of the coveted titles including Frost & Sullivan Excellence Award for Talent Management, Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Technology Awards for Workforce Management, and last but not the least, HR Vendors of the Year Award, for the third consecutive time.

On the business front, Ramco HCM added some marquee customer names including Europeâs Premium Global Brewery brand to manage its Malaysia operations; SUEZ, a world leader in the sustainable management of resources; Saudi based Mega Manpower Company, Al Jazeera Support Services - MEHAN; European Banking & Financial Services Giant, Ranhill Holdings Berhad Malaysia, among the others. With focus on mid-market segment, we continue to help not just the Fortune 500s but also those getting there with a complete, yet refreshingly simple HCM.

In a nutshell, after capturing a significant market opportunity in Asia, ANZ and Middle East, we are all set to expand into North America and Europe with a single unified HCM with Global Payroll offering. The coming year will see Ramco HCM expand its footprint across the West and help many other global enterprises embark on a HR transformation journey.

In the aviation industry, where adoption of the most efficient technology determines distinct competitive advantage, the versatility of Ramcoâs future ready solution built on Next-Gen technology such as Machine learning and cognitive capabilities has been making all the difference.

Today, we are counted among the leaders in Aviation MRO IT, globally. This year witnessed some significant digitization for MROs, in terms of Voice recognition, virtual and augmented reality, natural language processing, gesture computing, and machine learning, thereby dramatically increasing aircraft productivity, safety and reliability.

With increasing focus on mobility and process automation, this year also witnessed the advancement of Ramcoâs chatbots, making them capable of performing advanced transactions and integrating with the core M&E solution. With Conversation as a Platform gaining center stage, engagement and usability drove technology adoption. Ramco invested in building use cases around bots which can enable the users to transact with the application and obtain information over a quick conversation. From checking component availability to managing aircraft-on-ground situations, there are innumerable ways to leverage chatbots in aviation.

Yet another area of focus during the year was on Blockchain concept. Blockchain is believed to be the next big technological disruption that would impact multiple industries including Aviation & Logistics. The nature of these industries open up the possibility of a faulty part or a component to enter the operations inadvertently. With safety and regulatory compliance being highly monitored, the cost and implications of such a failure is immense. In such a situation, Blockchain can act as a digital ledger, where every single action about each of the part, be it manufacturing or maintenance or disposal gets recorded digitally & accurately.

Ramcoâs latest foray into connecting MROs and Airlines through âAnywhere Cloud platformâ picked up significant momentum this year. It is believed that the Aviation spare part industry is cluttered either with suppliers like OEMs, Licensed Part Manufacturers, PMAs, Part Traders, Part Locator Services etc., or, with the Airlines and MROs that use these parts. In the quest to bring in innovative and new technologies that can tackle this fundamental problem, Ramco Part Anywhere Solution connects OEMs, MROs, Part Distributors, Exchanges to provide visibility of the parts, repair capacity & resources to operators across the ecosystem and at the same time will give them the same visibility across the ecosystem on a real-time basis. Also - AOG desks, store clerks, planners or mechanics can just send an SMS/email/chat with the BOT or just call a Hotline -to get instant updates on stock on the go. All this is enabled with advanced Ramco APIs that can connect with other ERP systems as well. Large suppliers like Aviall, globalparts.aero are the early adopters of Ramco Anywhere Cloud Platform.

On the business front, Ramco Aviation recently went live at L3 MAS, Canadaâs Leading Aerospace & Defence In-Service Support Integrator, and Cobham Aviation, Australia - to improve their supply chain efficiency and ensure continuous airworthiness of Cobhamâs fixed and rotary-wing aircraft around the world; some of the significant deals we bagged this year are Life Flight, Papillon Group - largest Aerial sightseeing company.

Our partnership with Third Party Solution providers such as GAINS System and AeroXchange has helped us serve our customers, better. We have also continued to enhance the Core Solution by releasing new features to the market such as Customer Portal, Parts Sales, Power-by-hour (PBH) Contracts, Manufacturing and OCR driven invoice processing.

We have gained the trust of 7 of the top 10 heli operators and also launched Aviation LITE solution repackaged for small operators, at the HAI Heli Expo in 2018, highlighting the scalability of our solution that can serve a fleet of 10 all the way upto 400 . The year ahead promises a lot more excitement as we gear to expand our portfolio and help our customers stay ahead on the Innovation arena.

INNOVATION

Evolving on-the-go. Always a step ahead.

The world is waking up to the wonders of enterprise software. Findings by research firms reveal that enterprise application software spending is on the rise globally. Our winning combination of innovation and a customer-centric culture has produced another year of good results.

No more friction: text and voice-based Uls are here

If a mechanic in a remote hangar gets his hands dirty and canât use a keyboard, how can they work? Our answer: voice command is here.

FY 18 witnessed clients adopting and going live on Ramcoâs multi-purpose bots which help users interact with the ERP system to address many day to day transactions with ease. The Ramco Chia bot, reacts to short messages based on deep learning and natural language processing, and helps in automating simple tasks. As time passes, the system understands the context better, gets smarter and anticipates usersâ needs, even prompting actions as needed.

These bots are primarily text-based. However, innovations on voice activation with Google Assistant and Alexa, have begun to brew in the lab. Users can apply for leave or restock depleted inventory using only their voice to log in. All this is part of a frictionless series we are rolling out, with more to come (think VoIP-based ERP transactions, which will allow you to complete tasks by programmatic phone calls).

All the investment and efforts invested in building bots have started yielding the desired results with good customer adoption and even leading research and advisory firms like, Gartner mentioning Ramco as one of the only two vendors to offer virtual assistance technology in workforce management.

Facial recognition

Managing Timesheet booking is a tedious one, especially in companies where revenue gets billed based on time and effort invested in projects by employees - which brings us to the latest addition to our frictionless computing series.

Ramco launched facial recognition-based Time & Attendance (T&A). No queues, no clicks, no IDs: the cameras recognize an employeeâs face, grant access and mark attendance instantly. This one-time registration even unlocks access at multiple locations in large offices, saving precious time and solving the problems associated with tailgating.

Ramcoâs facial recognition based T&A delivers advanced detection algorithms and maps multiple points on the image of a personâs face against an existing image database. It has already revolutionized time and attendance at our Chennai, Gurgaon, Singapore, and Malaysia offices and is production ready to be implemented at client locations too. We have rolled this out as part of our HCM offerings and are exploring more use cases such as object recognition and pilot job card scanning, which will benefit compliance-heavy sectors like manufacturing and aviation.

Organizational health check

How can one find and unblock the critical bottlenecks in an organisation that are impairing good business performance? Ramco developed Enterprise Cardiogram, a set of augmented analytics that can detect inefficiency and blockage in every process, analyse the data at hand to reveal the cause, and deliver insights in the form of reports and forecasts to unclog the value chain.

How does it work? The software creates time-based benchmarks for tasks and measures performance against each node, raising the alarm in real time should there be a delay. Prevention is better than cure, and the Enterprise Cardiogram is a pre-emptive strike that is essential to study the health of any company.

APIs, blockchain and more

The world is moving toward an API-first economy, where businesses can collaborate with clients, vendors and any number of stakeholders in an environment of open and transparent communication. Whether the data is internal or external, it must be seamlessly accessible to the client to help make smarter business decisions without ever leaving the transaction screen. This is what we are trying to move towards too by building APIs with our standard offering.

In line with our dedication to accessibility and transparency, we are working with international providers to build breakthrough hybrid blockchain solutions. This combines features of public and private networks to speed up and secure transactions, ensuring authenticity and improving productivity by offering full visibility at any time on the chain of changes to a product throughout its lifetime.

In Singapore, our MRO Innovation Lab has teamed up with open-source blockchain developer XinFin FinTech Pte Ltd, which has a distributed ledger protocol on which we are building open and scalable architecture for our enterprise software. Through our partnership, we are working on many new blockchain use cases to solve problems in diverse companies and industries.

The innovation process at Ramco is triggered by both front-end (challenge identification and idea generation) and back-end (prototyping and implementation). We continually review, measure and improve our process to strike a right balance between achieving short-term wins (incremental innovations) and longer-term more disruptive innovations.

We expect our commitment to simplicity and user-friendliness to drive our growth in the year ahead - be it in fresh spins on existing technologies (bots and mobility) or new developments such as voice and facial recognition-based apps that help us shape a âfrictionlessâ world.

CULTURE

Fostering cutting-edge ideation and out-of-the-box thinking

At Ramco, the most significant innovation we successfully drove to fruition was the transformation of Ramcoâs core culture - from the traditional hierarchical approach to a culture where innovation and creativity were at the center.

Our cultural innovation, #LifeAtRamco encompassed a relaxed atmosphere to our employees stimulating and encouraging creativity. Informal workstations, bright colours, and trendy meeting rooms indeed pepped up the work atmosphere at Ramco. Our hiring and training processes underwent significant transformation, with innovation and creativity being a key focus. User-friendly platforms encouraged open exchange of ideas, with innovative ideas being taken up at an organization level and pursued with focus.

The employee-friendly plans and options introduced also helped in reducing work stress significantly and encouraged a health-conscious living. Our focus on employee well-being paid off well during the year, with Yoga, Zumba, and Cross-Fit sessions running full-house. Every room within Ramco, right from the cafeteria to the workstations are bubbling zones of potential innovation, as teams work with a competitive spirit to be the next innovator, worthy of recognition.

With the quest to create a multi-cultural, multi-linguistic environment, the year witnessed associates from various nationalities, working towards a common goal. Our focus on building a culture of innovation transformed us in many ways and also benefited our customers, investors, employees, society and other stakeholders. The Ramco mantra of Thank God Itâs Monday says it all!

Our innovation powerhouse led to the development of numerous initiatives/inventions, during the year.

Ramco Nuthouse opens to all the geeks out there

As a foray into new avenues of learning, this year witnessed the launch of Ramcoâs meet-up session - Ramco Nuthouse, on âAll things TECHY!â What started as an internal forum, soon developed into a city-wide Meetup attracting participation from tech enthusiasts across the city. From Deep learning, Bots, GIT/SVN/Mercurial, Automation, NLP, Hololens, NoSQL, to BIG DATA, multiple new technologies get discussed and deliberated here.

Creative Crackathon

At Ramco, we always like to do something new, every time. This zeal, led to the launch of our first-ever âCreative Crackathon. Hosted for a day, the crackathon was a platform for individuals to crack a business brief and creatively deliver output, to win exciting cash prizes

The event witnessed a great turn up with some of the fresh talent across the city delivering out-of-the-box ideas.

Alumni Homecoming

While employee satisfaction has always been our priority, this year witnessed the homecoming of our alumni - the launch of our Alumni Program. We strongly believe that our ex-employees have a major role to play in the growth of our company. Theyâve been the torch-bearers in the past and understand the brand, business and what it takes to get this going. Enabling a platform for connecting the alumni network with the latest happenings at Ramco has turned to be a great success.

Learning something new every day!

With the organization strategy maturing at every stage, it was critical for us to upskill our workforce to remain successful. During the year, we successfully launched and conducted various workshops and training sessions that further kindled interest amongst the new recruits and employees -

- Our Project Management Professional program went global this year. This was extended to our global employees bridging time zone differences

- At Ramco we strongly believe in eating our own dog food and thatâs the primary reason Ramcoâs Learning Management System (LMS), as a single source for all employees learning needs, was extended as a part of the Pre-Joining Kit to campus recruits, to complete their courses

- All new functional hires were put through the L1 and L2 Internal Certifications before hitting the project space. By this process we were able to absorb skilled resources into the project

- New training on Powershell was organized for employees to learn and automate the Windowâs process

- Sharpening the Saw - this year also witnessed the introduction of an exclusive session for project managers, that helped them better understand the process involved in project management

- Learning Tidbits - With day long training session becoming passe, this year we launched capsule sessions for the employees on various topics, to save time and ensure productivity is maintained

- Monthly Quiz for all the SBUs, ensuring all employees participate and learn new concepts

- We also launched DecisionWorks Session Week for different types of audience covering right from Sales, Presales, Project Managers to developers

All this and much more form the crux of the thriving #LifeAtRamco.

2. BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The details of the business operations appear in the following pages.

Despite rapid innovation in the last few decades - from aerodynamics and composite materials to making planes lighter yet
stronger - the technology to support on-ground engineers maintaining and certifying aircraft is yet to enter the 21st century.

The result: A great deal of certification is still done using pen and paper, and parts and logs are checked manually after
landing and before take-off.

In an industry where Time is Money, grounded aircraft due to delays have led to excessive wastage, globally. The time has come
for MRO innovation to shift gear and bring about a major improvement in productivity.

Supported by EDB, Singapore, Ramco Systems, with Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance as the first anchor partner,
launched an engineering lab in Singapore - the first of its kind in Asia. The MRO Lab combines engineering and innovative
research talent from Ramco and their first co-innovation partner AFI KLM E&M. The lab is an essential platform for the softer
elements of the aviation industry, where employees can work on next-generation applications, to develop intellectual property
that can solve major problems, in back-end aviation.

The Lab would focus on disruptive solutions around Resource Optimization, adoption of Wearables & loT, Advanced Analytics and
Mobility Anywhere solutions. Additionally, the Lab would possess Design & Development capabilities in areas like Additive
Manufacturing / 3D Printing, Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality aiding Mechanics and Technicians, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles etc.

Initial disruptive initiatives include;

- A Robot that could sense the emotions of people and also be able to perform inspections in inaccessible areas

- Gesture computing which enables field staff to perform operations without touching the screens

- Wearable devices that capture the stress levels of staff on the ground and air

- Accessing data from loT Sensors and turning it into meaningful information.

- Mobility Anywhere solutions and drones that auto-capture component images etc.

The Lab''s future innovations will revolve around Predictive Maintenance (with the help of Big Data, Deep Learning etc) that can
predict the component failures, Natural Language Processing Sensing and Processing Unstructured Data Feeds, Voice Technology
solutions for controlling systems using voice, Robotics to improve process efficiencies, Touch Sensing technologies that aid
field force, Bots - single delivery channel to deploy & manage suite of applications, leveraging Enhanced Unmanned Aerial Systems
for logistics and inspection of related activities.

Technology Platform

Innovation is our DNA and with the quest to add value leveraging technologies, Ramco has been constantly churning out disruptive
innovation with its two core flexible technology platforms - Ramco Virtual WorksÂ® and Ramco Decision Worksâ¢.

To ensure that Cognitive ERP applications understand and think for the user, Ramco has built its THUMP feature, which not only
reduces the time spent in using the application but also makes it simpler, user-friendly and intuitive.

- Thumb It: Most mobility applications are not ''Designed for Thumb''. With Ramco''s mobile apps, one can complete transactions by
following the thumb''s natural, sweeping arc. The app senses context and defaults the most probable transaction and lists down
other often used transactions.

- Hub It: Organizations have evolved to a stage where they are able to clearly define different User Roles. Ramco uses this
definition to design ''Hubs'' which then act as one stop action center for the users of a role. These Hubs offer users clearly
visualized, actionable insights pertaining to their role, in one single screen. For instance, a user with responsibility for
Procurement will be able to do all his transactions from one screen. This saves up to 80% of time otherwise spent navigating
between transactions. That''s 80% more time to concentrate on real-time decision making!

During the year 2015-16, 5 new HUBs were rolled out - Accounts Receivable HUB, Accounts Payable HUB, Procurement HUB, Finance
Closure HUB and the Payroll HUB.

These gathered great momentum from our customers, as well.

- Mail It: Most business users are on the move and spend much of their time on mails. Requiring them to login to a system to do
minor transactions will slow them and the business down. Ramco with its ''Mail It'' feature has brought the Enterprise System to
where and when the user wants it. The user can now transact the enterprise application by sending a mail either from a desktop
browser or mobile, to complete transactions. The system is intelligent enough to understand user''s mail and take appropriate
action. It is as simple as mailing the secretary to get a job done.

Workflows are live examples of the Mail It feature, where the system interacts with the user and responds back via email.

- Prompt It: The best course of action is often decided by past data. Ramco''s ''Genie'' is intelligent enough to prompt the next
course of action. Be it Procurement or Production or Staffing, it pre-empts the requirement, and keeps the documentation ready
for approval.

One such concept revolving around Prompt It is, "Straight-Through Processing (STP)". STP is an initiative used by companies to
optimize and improve the speed at which transactions are processed. This is achieved by automating the process of information
exchange electronically without having to manually re-enter the same piece of information repeatedly over time.

While various add-on features did receive great uptake from the market, this year, Ramco''s Agent-based technology gathered
significant momentum. Ramco''s in-memory Planning & Optimization (iPO) for planning, scheduling and optimization eases the way a
business could make optimal use of its resources while fulfilling orders. The in-memory processing, with large amount of prebuilt
optimization algorithms, and the ability to honor business constraints makes it a powerful business tool to supplement our
enterprise applications.

Based on flexible modeling capabilities and a comprehensive library of problem solving algorithms, Ramco iPO enables to optimize
resource usage and arms all planners with a sophisticated set of tools for simulation, decision making and control.

Our home grown integration gateway iRIS now also supports Message Queue-based information exchange in addition to the standard
files like CSV, txt, XML, etc., via secure FTP Database access and Web Service Calls.

At Ramco, all our applications are built as ''services'' on the server side, allowing us to consume them from browser-based
screens, mobile screens or, even expose them as Web Services for third party applications to consume. In the coming year, we
intend to focus more on publishing REST Ful APIs as one more means of encouraging other applications to interact with ours.

Some major initiatives to look out for during the year:

Stepping into a new frontier in Personal Computing with Conversational/ Chat Bots:

While our efforts towards Zero Ul have been paying off, yet another stepping stone towards this initiative are the Conversational
Smart Bots - an extension of the Mail it feature onto the IM platform. With these Bots, we aim to help customers interact with
our application without having to launch the web application or a mobile application.

Alongside, more emphasis will be placed on ensuring frequent, quality deliverables to customers with reduced downtime and minimal
impact. While delivering a tiny critical fix, or a large feature - both need large amounts of time & effort, and we shall focus
to ensure that the large, complex applications offered to customers do not have any undesired side effects. Each year, the size
and complexity of a project is bound to increase and our efforts to deliver a smooth experience has also been increasing. We will
also look at enhancing some of our ALM processes to increase our agility and benefit from the DevOps principles.

Life@Ramco

Innovation is our DNA and it has been well demonstrated in Ramco''s history. In the last few years, we set out to ingrain this
innovative streak when it comes to people as well. To drive innovation at workplace there was a need to disrupt the conventional
company culture that Ramco had and create an environment where the best talent would want to work and thrive.

Interestingly, millennial are not driven just by money, perks, career, or work life balance. How do we keep their goals and
desires aligned to the company''s goal and challengeRs, With this question serving as a catalyst, we embarked on a cultural
transformation.

We envisioned a work environment that would bring the best talent, encourage their growth, allow work to be centered on life,
rather than life revolving around work. An environment that would naturally leave an employee to say, "Thank-God-lt''s-Monday!"

Refreshed workspace

The first thing that we did was to give ourselves a new look. Funky and colorful, the new look resonated the energy of new Ramco.

All cubicles were demolished to create an open office. The focus was not on seniority and titles but on a centralized layout
where employees of all ranks can share ideas and make them a reality while feeling like a part of a cohesive team.

A healthy workplace

While collaboration and open communication are very important, we keep our bodies and mind active with our healthy initiatives.
FIKA, our healthy cafe not only gives us our daily dose of caffeine but is also well-stocked with healthy bites. It is a favorite
place to catch up with colleagues and have team meetings. We also have fresh fruits on the house, for all those who pick up a
meal from Fika.

At our state of the art cafeteria, TGIM- Thank-God-it''s-Monday calorie-measured food to subsidized lunches are served to
employees. Not just lunch, TGIM also serves healthy snacks round-the-clock from a vending machine from Snack Experts, a
Chennai-based startup that guarantees all employees their dose of healthy eating from fruits fosterage to sassy seeds to snacks
made from ragi and millets.

We promote the concept of "stretch a little at work" in order to break the monotony of the sedentary lifestyle that exists
prevalently today. Our Yoga and Zumba classes provide healthy avenues for taking breaks from work! And to kick out some extra
kilos, we have cross fit trainers coming too. We have also initiated a corporate tie-up program to provide subsidized and easy
access to day-to-day services such as Laundry & Dry Cleaning which is offered by ''Wassup'' at our premises.

Confident and fearless workforce

We give utmost importance to hiring the right people and giving them a platform to excel. The focus is on building a workforce
which does not fear to question the conventional and is tuned to try new things. This is cultivated on an ongoing basis through a
variety of initiatives.

Coffee with the CEO

A unique idea to break hierarchy and maintain an open culture, with the CEO leading from the front. The employees'' interaction
with CEO is informal in nature and creates an opportunity to speak about everything under the sun. This has helped in improving
employees'' morale and feel connected. A direct hotline was established with the CEO, from every corner of the office as a
consequence.

A truly global workforce

Being recognized as a global company meant that we needed to embrace a diverse workforce. Today we have a good mix of
Indonesians, Vietnamese, Filipinos and Chinese among other nationalities in our workforce. They bring learning''s from their
varied heritage that allow us to not only understand what is expected out of different markets, but also function as one.

We TRUST employees to act responsibly

Creating a workplace environment is incomplete when the processes and systems are not complementing the new mindset. Innovation
thrives on employee autonomy. And that is why we have an auto-approval system, for basic transactions like leaves,
reimbursements. Employees no longer need to seek approval for every action and every decision. We completely trust the employee
to act judiciously.

Self-regulating & Self-correcting Organization

- Revenue Per Employee (RPE) was introduced during the start of the transformation phase and later, it evolved into Revenue Per
Employee Cost (RUC) as a measure. RUC of 3 is the benchmark and

the SBUs have been given freedom to run their business, keeping the benchmark in mind

- All Manager and above Cadre have been included in the quarterly Business Performance Linked Pay (BPLP).

- Good bye to Teddy-bear KPIs. Measurable targets and simplified KPIs are what we follow. On Target Earning as a variable pay was
introduced, which constitute 10% -35% of total CTC.

By introducing the risk vs reward mechanism, we have instilled a self-regulating tool for the entire organization.

Accelerated growth programs

Those who exhibit precocious talent and stand tall amongst the crowd need to be recognized and given special attention. The
Elevator program has been commissioned for this; to create, mould and groom a pool of young talent into leaders of tomorrow.

A culture that rewards & recognizes

''Pat on the Back'' Quarterly Awards - For a job well done to recognition of individual efforts that have made a significant
contribution to goals and objectives of the Business units.

STAR Awards - To appreciate & recognize individual performers in SBU for that quarter. Focused Award (Deal Clinchers, Green
horn, Pegasus) types based on the Function/Role played by employees gives a feel good factor

We Truly Appreciate Cards - Anytime,

anywhere On-the-spot recognition drives

long-term employee motivation and engagement

The year marked the rebirth of Ramco ERP with renewed focus and vigor. While the global market for enterprise applications
showed a sluggish growth, we have been able to grow the ERP business at a steadfast pace, thanks to the blue ocean opportunity
identified in Logistics as a segment and Asset Management as a horizontal.

Ramco Logistics Software was rolled to address three sub-segments within Logistics - Third Party Logistics (3PL), Freight
Forwarders and Network Service Providers. While the market is flooded with Supply Chain software providers who target the
Shipper/ Manufacturers, Ramco Logistics aims to target fast growing Service providers market which has seen a surge in demand and
growth, thanks to the growth in eCommerce and need for better last mile access. Some of the recent wins in this segment include
Australia-based GMK Logistics, AAI in Philippines, Middle-East headquartered RSA Logistics among others. An integrated system to
connect Transportation, Warehouse, Fleet and HUB with Finance & HR on the Cloud along with a Command Centre and In-memory based
Planning and Optimization engine has been our value proposition in the market.

The other area of focus which has been identified is the horizontal offering for Asset-intensive industries. Ramco Enterprise
Asset Management is a Cloud-based, mobile-ready offering which offers predictive and preventive maintenance modules, integrated
with Finance and HCM to asset-centric organizations, such as Power Generation, Manufacturing, Fleet

Management among others. The successful replacement of a Tier-I legacy EAM in record time of 8 months at Norske Skog Australasia
(one of the largest producers of publication paper in the world) triggered heightened market focus around us. This
transformational digital implementation also brought home the coveted ISG Paragon Awards in ANZ beating billion dollar Goliaths.

The youngest of our product suites continued to grow with an addition of 100 clients in FY 2016 adding on an average 2 new
customers every week, globally. We also made a soft entry into US in October 2015 and have been actively developing ecosystem
partners to gain inroads into the market.

Our footprint in the ASEAN & MENA markets showed a steady rise with good traction picking up in Australia. Most recently, we won
one of the biggest fashion names in APAC, Valiram Group, based in Malaysia with over 350 stores in Asia and Australia,
representing 100 luxury and lifestyle brands including Victoria''s Secret, Micheal Kors, Jimmy Choo, etc. The year also marked the
successful implementation of Ramco Payroll at GE for integrating operations across 10 countries in Middle East on a single
unified platform. The ability to address multi-country payroll and cover some of the most complex payroll needs in emerging
markets has been a game winner for us.

In order to extend the Payroll reach across Europe, US and rest of Africa, we entered into strategic partnership with providers
such as APS Global, Trax Payroll, Pay Master among others. With this, we now cover over 100

countries. Independent Global Research firm, NelsonHall evaluated leading Global Payroll vendors offering outsourcing services
and ranked Ramco Global Payroll as a LEADER in their NEAT matrix on multiple parameters including overall capability and the
ability to offer Multi-country Payroll.

The year also witnessed a host of new features. Time & Attendance and Payroll HUB - designed for a role, HUB helps the user
visualize, transact, and gain actionable Insights pertaining to the users'' role - all from a single screen.

Along with business growth, market recognition has been a key highlight, too. Ramco HCM beat global HR software majors to bag
six awards for Best HR Management Software, Talent Management Software and Payroll Software at the HR Vendors of the Year 2015
event organized by Human Resources in Singapore, Malaysia & Hong Kong. We also won the CIO Choice Honor and Recognition in the HR
& Global Payroll software category in India. With these accolades and unique feature releases, Ramco has been growing in strength
and is all set to disrupt the market with its complete, yet refreshingly simple HCM.

With mobility becoming the latest buzz amidst large airlines & MROs, Ramco launched its next-gen Mobility application - Anywhere
Apps, for Aviation Maintenance. The series of applications dubbed as Fly Anywhere, Mechanic Anywhere, Warehouse Anywhere,
Customer Anywhere & Approval Anywhere were rolled out in the market. Another key offering rolled out from the Aviation stable was
the Planning & Optimization feature for Long Term Capacity Planning (called flyMORE) powered by Ramco iPO (In-memory based
Planning & Optimization engine).

From adding the largest business jet player to striking an entry into Greater China, 2015-16 has been an eventful year on the
customer front, too. Ramco Aviation signed its largest cloud deal (thus far) which also marked the expansion into Scandinavia
with the winning of Patria Helicopters, a Helicopter MRO based out of Sweden, specialized in maintenance of Bell, Augusta
Westland and Airbus Helicopters with military and civil operations. We also signed a prestigious multi-million dollar tech
transformation deal with Global Aerospace and Defense Company, Cobham Aviation Services.

In addition to on-boarding marquee clients, leading consulting firm, Frost & Sullivan, recognized Ramco Aviation Software as a
Champion, in their Technology Innovation Matrix. As one more feather to its cap, the Aeronautical Repair Station Association
(ARSA) announced Ramco as their preferred Next-Gen MRO IT vendor.

Ramco Systems also partnered with Aviation MRO Marketplace, Aeroxchange, industry''s leading electronic business network
supporting all MRO business processes for buyers and sellers within the aviation industry. Through this partnership and
integration, customers using Ramco''s next-gen Aviation enterprise software, can now purchase components and repair services on
Aero change''s platform. In addition to product integration, both organizations will leverage each other''s strong network to make
further inroads into the Aviation MRO market. This partnership widens our horizon to offer clients a holistic experience with
Ramco.

We ended the Financial Year 2015-16 with a win in US, summing up to 12 customer additions during the year, with our total
Aviation customer base touching 80. Our customers continue to expand their Ramco portfolio by signing up for additional modules
including Mobility, Analytics, Aeroxchange Integration and Migration into the latest version.

2. BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The year 2012-13 has been a turning point with renewed thrust and momentum being placed on establishing Ramco''s position in the global market. From being seen as an Indian provider of ERP on Cloud, Ramco embarked on a journey to position Ramco ERP on Cloud in the global market. With Cloud becoming mainstream, organizations across the world are slowly but steadily looking at leveraging Cloud-based solutions to improve their operational efficiencies and minimize their CAPEX spends.

Establishing Global Presence with Cloud Solutions:

After successfully building market recognition for Ramco ERP on Cloud in India, the company ventured into international shores with its Cloud offerings. This initiative was given the right impetus when we announced a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services, whereby we host our cloud solutions on their platform. Our association with path breaking global technology providers such as Amazon, Google, and Dell, among others, have further reinforced market belief in the company, and helped establish our strength in newer markets.

The partner network has started yielding good results with around 45% of new customer additions being acquired through them. The year 2012-13 was rewarding with Ramco ERP on Cloud winning customers in 10 more countries across North America, Middle East, APAC and Australia, in addition to India, where we have continued to grow. The average size of customer and the subscription per user have also increased substantially compared to the previous years. The year also marked Ramco being positioned as a ''prominent player'' for Cloud ERP in India by a leading Global Technology research firm.

To address large enterprises which have a distributed set up, multiple suppliers, multiple dealers, multiple products, and presence across many markets, the company launched Ramco Connected Enterprise (RACE), a Cloud solution that helps the parent company connect with its extended enterprise and ecosystem.

Ramco Human Capital Management (HCM) continued to show promising growth with new customers such as REDTAG, NBQ, and Khimji Ramdas among others being added over the year. The company also entered into strategic partnerships to offer HCM on Cloud ''as a platform'', which has been gaining good momentum. The year ahead holds a lot of promise as the company has been working towards enhancing the HCM offering to address global payroll, Talent management, and offer the solution on Mobile devices with a cool new User Interface and Social features. The all new HCM is well set for breaking into the big league in the Cloud market.

From Transaction to Analytics:

Ramco Analytics continues to grow its market presence, especially in key segments such as Banking and Financial Services Industry (BFSI), where it currently serves five of the top ten banks in India. Ramco''s Automated Data Flow (ADF) offering which enables banks to comply with central Bank compliance requirements has been well-received in the Indian market.

Governance, the IT way:

Governments across the world have been adopting latest technologies to plan, manage and execute projects effectively and efficiently. Ramco has been at the forefront of tapping this need by offering a tailor-made solutionÂRamco Government Resource Planning SuiteÂ that helps Local Governments and Municipalities manage their end-to-end operations. This year too, we had several repeat orders from Governments and Municipalities in Africa.

Flying High with Ramco Aviation:

Ramco''s understanding of the Aviation Industry, its tailor made solutions and sizeable customer base, has enabled it to grow its footprint across the globe. Starting the year on a high, Ramco Aviation announced its first order of the year with Caribbean Airlines and then added Emirates, GoAir, Air Tahiti and Hevilift among others. Ramco ended the year on a high with 10 customers coming on board, globally.

Exploring to expand the market, the company also launched Ramco Aviation on Cloud for Airlines, MROs (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) and CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization) at the Airline & Aerospace MRO & Operations IT Conference - AMERICAS, held at Miami, Florida. With this launch, the company will now be able to address organizationsÂeven operators with fleet sizes of less than 10 aircrafts and small MRO centersÂ with specialized, integrated MRO solutions. On the product front, the company announced the availability of the solution on iPad and iPhones.

Fewer Offerings, Sharper Focus:

In order to compete and build market leadership, it is important that an enterprise''s focus, energy and spends are directed towards offerings that show tremendous growth potential. In line with this, under the stewardship of the new CEO, Ramco identified five focus product groups as its focus offerings for the year aheadÂERP, HCM, Aviation, Analytics and GRP. This has helped consolidate and synergize the internal assets to build futuristic solutions that can compete with global majors in the International market.

Product Philosophy:

Driven by the underlying theme of ''Customer Centricity'', we believe that technology should simplify businesses, not complicate them; it should free you, not tie you down. It is this philosophy that has been the driving force behind all our innovations and product developments. The year 2012-13 paved way for a product philosophy, aimed at developing an ERP that can address the needs of the next-gen user, across the globe. Built around the five pillars of Mobility, User Interface, Social, In-Memory and Context aware solutions, Ramco''s product philosophy of MUSIC (an abbreviation for the five pillars) has been well received and appreciated by the market.

- Mobility aims to connect business and users on the move.

- The Wizard Interface simplifies the complexities of an enterprise application. It is a combination of transaction and analytics, giving users a chance to manage routine tasks, aesthetically.

- The social aspect in the application reduces redundancy and latency in data handling and gamification, and when used as a persuasion technique, helps increase productivity.

- Operational efficiency, optimization of processes, complex scheduling of processes in an organization, etc. become elementary using the In-Memory capabilities of Ramco''s application.

- The context-aware feature builds the ability of an ERP to know the user, the role of the user, his location and the device from which it is being used. It makes the application intelligent, intuitive and location aware.

Adding another dimension to our product value proposition was the launch of role based WorkSpaces. WorkSpaces fundamentally change the way users interact with the application. It blends transactions with useful analytics, relevant to the context, thus providing a comprehensive view that enables the user to make effective decisions. Role-based ''WorkSpaces'' make the application "intuitive" and does away with the typical software usage experience of menus and screens. WorkSpaces present actionable data and alerts in the form of a to-do/exception list. This, in turn, enables users to prioritize work and effectively manage information flow, thereby enabling better productivity, reduced time and an enjoyable experience all together.

Going forward, the focus is to differentiate and stay ahead of the herd. Our years of experience and market knowledge are helping us get due attention. As we further strengthen our presence across newer markets, the focus is on building products and solutions that customers will vouch for, and in that process, build a successful organization.

2. BUSINESS OPERATIONS

At a time when customers, globally, are looking for solutions to empower their businesses and achieve greater economies of scale, our years of investment in Cloud technologies has ensured that we have the right set of solutions delivered on the most appropriate Cloud modelÃpublic or private, to tap into this growing demand. Our products have matured over the years and customer feedback has been encouraging. We believe this will open up a multitude of opportunities for us in the coming years and we shall be known as the most versatile and strong 'Cloud' company.

Our success on the Cloud has been mainly because of Ramco VirtualWorksÃÂ® and Ramco DecisionWorksÃ our revolutionary enterprise application and analytics assembly and delivery platform on the Cloud. This is helping us enable our customers gain the crucial competitive edge they need in this demanding business environment by going on-board with a full-featured ERP solution within a few weeks.

Looking back, the year 2011-12 has been an eventful year for us marked by product launches, new order wins, and customer acquisitions. We consolidated our existing strengths in the Cloud Application and Analytics domain to make our presence felt. Overall, we recorded a modest growth this year. We've also won several repeat orders from our existing customers, which speaks volumes about the service that we have been able to deliver to them.

It is owing to the prowess of our solutions that we bagged the esteemed Watts S Humphrey award for Software Quality and Process Improvement at the SPI Conference 2011, organised by Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN), Chennai. The PCQuest Users' Choice Awards 2011 also ranked Ramco ERP as enjoying the highest brand loyalty amongst its SME customers.

Our Cloud ERP offering has continued to garner the market momentum. We are witnessing good interest among some of the larger companies. The key differentiator for Ramco ERP on the Cloud, which sets it apart from the other Cloud-based ERP solutions, is its comprehensiveness and ability to automate just about every process of a businessÃend-to-end. It is the single instance of software that is fully competent to serve a range of industries and verticals.

After its success in the Indian market, we are now all set to take it to the global markets.

We have also entered into strategic business tie-ups with large telecom companies like Airtel.

A Key product Ramco Enterprise Series (RES), the traditional ERP solution, continued to grow at a satisfying pace. We have received good orders for RES from India and Africa. Despite the slowdown, we have received good traction for this product in the US market as well. In addition to this, our strategy to focus on high-growth, high-potential verticals such as Logistics, Banking and Cement is paying results. This product line is now completely on the cloud and will play a Key role in enabling the Cloud strategy of large companies.

Ramco Aviation Suite, which is one of our strongest product lines, continued to expand its reach globally with significant wins. Mature markets such as the US and European nations are slowly coming out of the recession mode and we are hopeful that this sector will open up a huge opportunity area for us.

Another breakthrough that we'd like to celebrate is the order win that we've had in Banking Analytics. We have closed some very prestigious orders in the year gone by. In light of the Reserve Bank of India's ADF (Automated Data Flow) mandate, we are uniquely positioned to offer a comprehensive, flexible ADF solution and in the coming days, we can expect good traction for our ADF solution. Apart from this, we are looking forward to making significant forays in the Middle East and APAC markets.

As regards our managed services business, we are receiving good interest from big leaders, especially for HR and payroll. Ramco's BPO operations once again secured an award for Operational Excellence & Quality at the event hosted by Employer Branding Institute; World HRD Congress & Stars of the Industry Group, with CMO Asia as Strategic Partner and held at Singapore.

Going forward, our focus would be to increase our footprint, globally, especially with our Cloud offering. Considering we have a broad array of solutions to address the latent market demands, we are confident of many strategic wins and growth in the years ahead.

Organizations across the world have seen seismic shifts in the way they perceive business processes and growth possibilities. This, coupled with the continuous development of technology, has changed the way we deal with business partners. The year 2010-11 has been marked by product launches, new order wins, and customer acquisitions. We have also made signifcant progress in strengthening our products and technology. Overall, we have sustained the proftability and positive trend that we witnessed during the previous year.

Our focused approach on key market sectors with matured and proven technologies and signifcant cost rationalization has ensured that we are on a path of sustainable growth. Our strategy to expand our engagements, invest steadily in R&D, and constantly innovate and improve our cloud-based offering, is helping the Company move up the value chain, resulting in good growth and improved proftability.

Our sustained efforts and investments toward our OnDemand offering have started yielding the desired results, with consistent traction and addition of customers. We are glad to report that we have continued to breakeven for the second consecutive year.

The year began on an optimistic note with the BPO division of Ramco launching the IP3 Framework Ã Infrastructure, Product, Process and People Ã to business houses across the globe, to suit their right costing exercise. Within a year of the launch of the framework, our BPO division won recognition at the BPO Excellence Awards 2010-11, held at Mumbai. We received an award for Operational Excellence and QualityÃ, for exhibiting successful implementation of the framework, bringing operational excellence and quality to customers. This further reinforces our belief and commitment to quality through our continuous investments in R&D and innovation. RamcoÃs BPO division has been offering the best of services to customers and helping them in their growth with a robust technology. This award is a testimony to our customersÃ belief in Ramco and its offerings.

RamcoÃs aviation business has been picking up momentum this year. Earlier in the year, we entered into a global partnership with IDBLUETM to provide end-to-end Radio Frequency Identifcation (RFID) solutions within the aerospace sector. The end of the second Quarter saw us seal some prestigious wins in the Indian aviation sector with National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL) (now Air India Limited), and MAS GMR Aerospace Engineering Co. Ltd., for our Airframe Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) suite of aviation software offerings. This has given us a signifcant morale boost. The Series 5 Aviation MRO software has a new client in Aveos, a leading, independent, global provider of MRO services to the aviation industry. Overall, global aviation is progressing with numerous implementations in the US, Europe, India, and Middle East.

With the successful launch of Ramco onDemand ERP 2.0, the CompanyÃs venture into cloud computing is on an all time high with notable order wins. With a rich user interface and a unique set of extension/customization capabilities, this powerful ERP addresses the needs of growing businesses across multiple verticals, and is sold and served through an ecosystem of sales and implementation partners. We have been aggressively marketing this offering across India and the brand has gained impressive footing. In a short span of time, Ramco OnDemand has garnered over 3000 users, and is expected to proliferate itself in the coming fscal.

The analytics business has moved up a signifcant notch by continuing to grow in the market. RamcoÃs Banking Analytics, built and delivered on Ramco DecisionWorks, reduces the time and effort needed to integrate and analyze voluminous data. It gives banks a competitive advantage by enabling them to make the right decisions. We also witnessed good traction for Ramco Enterprise Analytics, delivered on the Cloud.

The third Quarter brought good tidings with the prestigious award for Innovation in IT ApplicationsÃ at the 3rd India Power Awards, held at New Delhi. Power is a fast-growing sector, and IT plays a crucial role in helping utilities innovate and transform in a deregulated environment. Ramco has been at the leading edge in offering business applications, technology platforms and powerful delivery models, which add signifcant value to organizations, enable innovation and bring transformation.

Overall, our relevant expertise and experience, backed by advanced technology, has helped us leverage global opportunities and grow signifcantly. Post the global economic slowdown of the last two years, Ramco Systems revenue has now resurged and grown 27% over the previous year. The knowledge and experience gained over the last few decades in the domestic and global markets has put us in a position to capitalize on the new opportunities that are emerging out of the current market conditions.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The year 2009-10 has witnessed a good number of customer acquisitions, key partnerships, and business progresses; all aimed at sustaining profitability, and accomplishing better business prosperity. Driven by customer acceptance and global recognition of Ramcos Enterprise and OnDemand offerings, we started the financial year optimistically, with the company spreading its operations across verticals. Today, we are glad to report breakeven for the past five quarters, consecutively.

With a strong determination to achieve these encouraging results, we tried on several measures to override the difficult market conditions, which emerged from the recession. One such effective measure that we adopted was cost optimization. We devised a beneficial cost structure, by which expenditures on employees, travel, communications, and so on, were brought down, to ensure that expenses were in control.

On the other hand, our investments to offer ERP on cloud continue to help the company. Our strategy to improve on revenue mix with an emphasis on large and strategic deals has contributed to our success significantly. This is helping us capitalize on our technology and products. The company has been working on few large size deals, and we are hoping to reap significant benefits from these efforts. With the strengthening of the domestic, Middle East and the North Africa markets, we are confident about stronger performance in the coming years.

Today, with the relevant expertise and experience, backed by our advanced technology, we are now well positioned to leverage global opportunities and grow significantly.

The Aviation group has updated the Aviation M&E / MRO Enterprise Product Suite to Series 5. The release 5.2 warranted by requirements, current customers, and forward-looking market conditions, brings significant technological, business, and functional advantages to the industry. Continuing to simplify the processes by which people interact with IT systems, release 5.2 expands the centralized graphical planning board, providing planners with full visibility into materials, man-power, tools and ground time constraints. Further simplifying the planning process, all maintenance due can be displayed within the new interface, thereby reducing the opportunity for errors and maximizing the utilization of available ground time.

Other milestones for the Aviation Group include the announcements of its cutting edge Ramco Aviation Analytics, powered by Decision WorksÃ, EDK and ITK for Series 5, ePublications, and eProcurement, for the Global Aerospace & Defense, Civil Aviation & MRO Industry during the year. Each of these products is designed to significantly increase the business value of the series 5 portfolio, to both Ramco and its customers.

Aviation endured this recessionary period with a few new order wins, and additional orders for services from existing customers. Key accounts providing new business include Enerjet, opting for the M&E system as a hosted service, and Republic Air, deciding to purchase the new eProcurement offering. Additional orders in this sector include those from Safe Air, ERA Helicopters, and Pinnacle Airways. Additionally, we also witnessed Air Methods becoming the first existing customer to sign an agreement, to upgrade from Series 4 to Series 5, a trend that is expected to continue. Global Aviation is progressing with numerous implementations in US, Europe, India, and Middle East.

Ramcos HCM solution provides companies with leading edge capabilities required to attract and retain the best workforce. The solution is the result of 15 years of Ramcos experience in the international HCM Application space. Deployed in more than 700 customer locations, in 34 countries, the solution provides HR services to more than 1,000,000 employees world-wide. The solution is known to crack problems in employee engagement, development, payroll equity and HR Logistical process automation. One noteworthy order win was from Indo-US MIM.

The company organized several events to display its expertise in delivering world-class solutions in the manufacturing and HCM space. By this initiative, Ramco forays into several unscathed tier I and II cities. Ramcos ERP solutions helps clients involved in industries such as auto components, textiles, industrial machinery & equipments, high-tech electronics, and precision engineering to increase efficiency, differentiate products, keep up with regulatory mandates, reduce operational costs, create new opportunities, meet local needs, and scale up to global standards.

The company started the year with a clear focus on bringing powerful analytical solutions for banks pre-built on Ramco Decision Works-a fully integrated Bl platform. Keeping in line with this, the company has already completed three powerful analytical modules for banks in the functional area of Customer Analyses, Loan Analyses and Deposit Analyses; these solutions have already been taken to the market.

The Banking and Analytics domain has moved a significant notch up by establishing a mutually beneficial partnership with HP; through this partnership, the company strategizes to jointly approach banks to market the analytics solution; this proposal would enable banks to perform various analysis of data spread across multiple systems, and complete their day-to-day transactions with ease. Ramcos Core Banking Analytics pre-packaged and delivered along with HPs Neoview enterprise data warehouse platform reduces the time and effort needed to integrate and analyze voluminous data, and gives banks a competitive advantage, by enabling them to make the right decisions. These solutions have paved way for the company to get some noteworthy deals, one of which is the order from Bank of India obtained through HP.

Ramco Systems continued to prove its prowess in other key verticals such as Infrastructure Development-Engineering & Construction, Real estate & property management, Retail, Education, and 3rd party Logistics, with notable order wins across the globe.

This year, the BPO sector found itself operating with considerable success. Today, BPO is no longer an optional strategy but it is a strategic necessity. Decision makers are increasingly accepting outsourcing, and are identifying the non-core activities of their businesses that can be outsourced. The IP3 (Infrastructure, Product, Process and People) framework, innovated by Ramco, is emerging as a new-age service delivery model, where in end-to-end processes are offered as "Managed Services". This model gives the flexibility to an organization to decide on the right solution for its right costing exercise, thereby enabling organizations to switch models; from BPO to Licensing to Hosting. Our BPO is now certified with ISO 9001:2008; a SAS70 Type II audit was also conducted by KPMG. Ramco HR BPO services are now being offered in the Middle East and APAC regions. Currently our BPO business processes over 100,000 pay-slips every month, and this is expected to rise exponentially in the coming months.

The strategic initiatives conceived and nurtured during the previous fiscal has enabled smooth sailing of our SaaS solution- Ramco OnDemand ERP. This powerful ERP addresses the needs of growing businesses across multiple verticals, and has sold and served through an ecosystem of sales and implementation partners.

Also, Ramco OnDemand ERP announced its Ramco OnDemand ERP Partner Program (ROPP), which allows us to foray into the industrial sectors. This enables us to identify potential partners for the SMB segment. With ROPP, Ramco aims to penetrate the market faster and rope in cluster-focused partners, to address the vast SMB space. Currently Ramco OnDemand ERP has 41 active partners; efforts are in progress to increase the numbers shortly.

On the Optima front, we secured in several major orders including those from Birla Chittorgarh Works, India Cements, and Shree Cements. This good turnout of business is attributed to the efforts of expansion that is prevalent among the cement industries in India. We have also witnessed some major go-lives this year which includes Birla White Cements, Ambuja Cements, and Grinding Units of Madras Cements.

We are now renewing our focus on Energy and Utilities, because the industry is shaping up with a long term growth trajectory. We have won a significant order from IBPIL - Arkay Energy (Rameswaram), where we are now rolling out our solution at 9 power plants across the country. We are ramping up our efforts to build a good pipeline for the next year in India and other geographies, and are expecting significant traction as the year progresses. Considering our product strengths, domain expertise, and focus on partnerships, we expect to consolidate our presence in this vertical.

Ramco has also signed a Teaming Agreement with a reputed services organization, to provide our application on a BPO model, to deliver the HR Payroll services.

In continuation to our initiative last year, the company offered its employees stock options, to further strengthen their association with the company.
