SAP Updates Portfolio Of On-Demand Solutions

SAP has announced a major update in its portfolio of on-demand solutions: Feature pack 2.6 for the SAP Business ByDesign solution has been generally available, offering a slate of new capabilities. The new release serves as an open platform on which a broad ecosystem of partners can further customise the software, and on which SAP will develop new on-demand offerings for various lines of business.

Further features include enhancements to usability, support for additional mobile devices and on-demand integration of subsidiary operations into on-premise installations at headquarters.
With the new release, SAP takes a step in executing its cloud computing strategy and further delivers on its product strategy to extend the availability of business software across on-premise installations, on-demand offerings and a wide variety of popular mobile devices.

“With feature pack 2.6, we are not only delivering additional value to our customers, but are also providing new opportunities for co-innovation to our partners,” said Peter Lorenz, Executive Vice President, On Demand, and Corporate Officer, SAP AG. “As we have now moved to a cycle of delivering a new feature pack every six months, the next big step in our SAP Business ByDesign roadmap will be the general availability of feature pack 3.0 in August.”
