Wednesday 6 April, 2011

Today Revolution IT’s SAP Practice Principal Bala Kalimuthu was recognised as one of the top ten most influential people in the SAP community in Australia and New Zealand for the second consecutive year.

Thousands of Inside SAP Magazine readers voted for the nominee that they felt was most influential in the SAP community.

Reader’s votes accounted for 50 per cent of each nominee’s final score, while the remaining 50 per cent was based on a submission by nominees including significant projects undertaken during 2010, awards or recognition received, community involvement and other achievements demonstrating influence.

Revolution IT’s Director Hamish Leighton said the award is significant recognition of Bala and his team’s passion for independent quality assurance, especially in large SAP programs.

“The continual ability to deliver significant business value to clients, community involvement and willingness to share knowledge, are all key things that have contributed to Bala achieving this well deserved recognition”.

“It’s an outstanding achievement for Bala and his team to be once again highly commended by his SAP community peers”,
Mr Leighton said.

Bala and his team had various project highlights during 2010, including providing 15 quality SAP consultants to work with LeasePlan on the streamlining of its SAP application landscape through seven critical business imperative programs running in parallel. In 2010, Revolution IT’s SAP clients included LeasePlan, Victoria Police, Australia Post, Office Works, ConnectEast, AWB, George Weston Foods, DHS Victoria, Fonterra, Komatsu, GPT and Carter Holt Harvey.
