Ramco Systems Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions

Businesses all over the world are continuously striving to optimise their business processes in order to increase operational efficiency while controlling operating costs. The organizations are now focussing on a technological breakthrough that can lead to a centralized solution to manage a variety of business processes and drive efficiency. This necessitates the need for a new-age ERP that understands the businesses as well as the sector-specific processes. This new-age ERP would not be a ‘one-size-fits-all ERP’, but a more extensive, personalised, user-friendly application that addresses the dynamic needs of organizations. With the growth of new technologies, customers are looking forward to seamlessly integrating their businesses by potentially reshaping the ERP landscape and demanding higher personalization. The multi-country payroll solutions market is expected to witness an annual growth of 17%. Ramco will continue with its strategy to expand its reach, by partnering with in-country providers in countries where it does not yet have statutory. With on-demand pay, and flexi-pay becoming need of the hour, Ramco Systems will benefit from the partnerships with Fintech companies in India and Australia. It will further enable Ramco Systems’ client base to leverage various financial wellness benefits such as earned wage access, salary advances and personal loans through an easy-to-use platform leading to higher employee satisfaction and strong retention rates. Ramco envisions to be a de-facto standard and a global leader in offering payroll solutions and services. The logistics industry is well poised for consistent growth and modernization. There is a strong demand for new technologies that provide opportunities to more efficiently manage the movement and storage of goods, improve visibility and achieve on-time delivery. Businesses in the aviation industry are increasingly adopting new technology to streamline and optimize processes across the organization, reduce turnaround time (TAT) of aircraft maintenance, improve operational efficiency through migration to paperless operations, and improve overall aircraft availability and mission readiness. Ramco’s strategic priorities going ahead will be the third party MRO, Defense, Heli, eVTOL and UAS segments.

In March 2020, Ramco Innovation Lab in Singapore unveiled an advanced facial recognition based Time & Attendance System – RamcoGEEK, embedded with Temperature recording and IoT sensor doors to enable organizations move towards a ‘Touch-less’ attendance and workplace access, in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Through 2019, Aviation makes significant gains in Greater China market with two large wins; ventures into Mexico with the largest heli-operator and MRO, re-affirming its footprint in the Heli space. Ramco also signs large multi-million-dollar deal from a leading Australian University for HR & Payroll transformation marking its expansion into Higher Education vertical. Ramco Systems partnered with NTT DATA Services, a recognized leader in global technology services, to enable clients to modernize enterprise applications to drive digital transformation. The collaboration will combine Ramco’s innovative enterprise software solution offerings with NTT DATA’s world-class, strategy-led business and technology services.

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, conversations are gaining a whole new meaning. By bringing the technology to the enterprise system, Ramco Systems believe adoption of ERPs will not just be restricted to a few pockets, but will get universally used across the organization. Also, from a business context, enterprise applications are a highly cluttered market with limited room for differentiation. They don't want to be just another ERP player in the market. It is their thirst to deliver customer value that drives them to bet on new technology and bring innovative features to the market.

While traditional ERP goliaths are playing the catch-up game, Ramco Systems pride in being amongst the pioneers in bringing bots to enterprises. Bot is their sling that is getting the 'digital' and 'user experience' savvy ERP buyer to them. HoloLens, on the other hand, has been paving way for the future of work. In a nutshell, umpteen number of disruptive innovation with real-time business use cases have been developed at The MRO Innovation Lab, Singapore, during the year.

Ramco Systems Risks and Challenges

The COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted revenues from the countries that witnessed prolonged lockdown. To address this, Ramco has a well-diversified geographic business model. Moreover, Ramco has adopted the hybrid work model in order to ensure business continuity and customer service.

Furthermore, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a global slowdown, causing discretionary spends to be muted. This has been impacting the IT industry overall. To mitigate this, Ramco is constantly calibrating its costs with reference to emerging market changes.

It is necessary to have strong measures against ransomware attacks, as they can severely impact all activities carried out from a company's servers and cripple any managed services they may offer. To mitigate this risk, Ramco has moved all of its development servers, client production servers, and client operations platforms to the cloud, in addition to segmenting the network to prevent any potential attack on one segment to impact another. Ramco has also set up 3 levels of backup (& disaster recovery), also addressing country risk.

It is important for tech companies to prevent their offerings from becoming obsolete, as with no refresh in technology and the rapid strides by the competition, their product sales and revenue will be impacted. Ramco is keeping its platform updated and upgraded and staying ahead of the competition, in addition to making R&D investments on new technologies.
