SAP recently introduced the next version of its SAP All-in-One solutions, with enhancements to provide midsize companies with greater agility in managing their businesses.
Leveraging the power of mySAP ERP 2005 as a foundation of SAP’s road map for enterprise SOA and customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities for the midsize market, SAP claims that the solutions enable faster return on investment (ROI) with a dramatically enhanced and more intuitive user experience, streamlined business scenarios, enhanced analytical reporting and integrated management of customer relationships.
With the announcement, SAP also introduced programs and tools to make it easier for its worldwide network of channel partners to immediately evolve existing SAP All-in-One solutions and build new solutions to address additional industry segments.
“We are providing midsize companies and SAP’s partners proven industry best practices, and the tools to adopt new innovations easily and seamlessly over time,” said Hans-Peter Klaey, president, Global SME, SAP AG. “The evolution of our SAP All-in-One offerings is a significant step as SAP and its partners deliver the beauty and simplicity of enterprise SOA to midsize companies across the globe.”
The enhanced offerings also will provide integrated reporting capabilities, enabling 360-degree visibility of business operations through business intelligence technologies that access information directly from the business processes and functions in the ERP system.
The CRM capabilities optimized for midsize companies include account and contact management, activity management, lead management, campaign management, opportunity management and service ticket management.
In addition, SAP introduced a new program to enable its partners to quickly and efficiently bring their solutions and customers to the next version of the SAP All-in-One solutions. The program uses the SAP PartnerEdge program to support partners in the adoption of new technology from SAP.
The solutions will be available worldwide throughout 2007.
