Customers Transform Their Businesses With a New and Comprehensive Approach to Cloud

MADRID, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – Since launching its cloud strategy at SAPPHIRE® NOW from Orlando in May 2012, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) has infused the cloud DNA of SuccessFactors, an SAP company, into its cloud business to create the most comprehensive portfolio of cloud solutions in the industry.

Lars Dalgaard, member of the SAP Executive Board shares this…

“We are passionate about delivering beautiful, robust and reliable cloud applications that work the way our customers do.

“I announced our cloud strategy acceleration six months ago and since then the response and traction we’ve seen in the market has been monumental.

“SuccessFactors grew by 92 percent year over year, SAP Business ByDesign subscription billings at 300 percent year over year, companies are embracing SAP Jam as a productivity tool with more than 8 million users.

“And we’re just getting started. There is so much more to come as we continue to innovate across our cloud portfolio, applying user and mobile-first design principles, to meet our customers’ business needs — and most importantly delight our customers’ end users.”

Employee Central: The Only Core HR Solution in the Cloud “Glocalized” for Today’s Businesses

Per Carine Brändle, systems and process specialist, corporate HRM, Sonova Group…

“We were impressed with the performance of SuccessFactors as well as its ease of use.

“The look and feel is very intuitive, which is important from a usability and adoption perspective.

“With SuccessFactors, we’re able to manage our full workforce, across more than 90 countries with Employee Central and the BizX suite.

“Rather than spending months pulling together disparate Excel spreadsheets, we can now gather critical data in a matter of minutes.

“We also have greater visibility into core aspects of our existing workforce, a good audit trail on our recruitment of new hires and have the strategic insight required to carefully plan and scale for growth.”

Launch of New SAP® Financials OnDemand Solution Providing Collaborative Real-Time Financials for the Entire Business

Bill McNee, founder and CEO, Saugatuck Technology shares this…

“While cloud-based financial applications have gained traction among SMB buyers for several years now, Saugatuck believes that the conditions are finally ripe for adoption of core financial applications among upper-mid and large enterprises.

“SAP’s new large-enterprise targeted SAP Financials OnDemand leverages its long heritage and leadership in the space, with a modern set of capabilities that aim to help support the broader roles and responsibilities that CFOs now have.”

SAP® Customer OnDemand Now More Powerful With SAP® Jam

Says Sinde McClung, director, CRM applications, Newell Rubbermaid…

“With SAP Customer OnDemand, our customer-facing teams are more in touch with our customers’ needs and better able to work in concert to exceed their expectations.

“Our sales teams stay up-to-date in real time on information such as customer and material master changes, POS, invoice sales and open order information thru reporting mashups.

“Our organization is now leveraging mobile devices to improve both the speed and quality of customer and employee interactions.

“We are already seeing great benefits of coordinated account activity and collaboration through one modern, cloud-based CRM solution that’s easy-to-use and enables us to harness the wealth of customer insight across our enterprise.”

SAP Redefines Enterprise Social With SAP Jam and SAP® Social OnDemand

Riccardo Sebastiano Piaggi, group head, Organization & Development, Parmalat has this to share…

“As a non-technology company with a diverse workforce — both in terms of geography and job type — we knew we needed to implement a collaboration tool that tied into other company systems and made work easier, focusing on how SAP Jam could solve business needs.

“To get started, we established well-identified guidelines and encouraged early adopters in SAP Jam groups that could address business needs and cross-office collaboration.

“We launched groups for well-identified areas aiming to cover well-identified needs.

“With the involvement of the early adopters, our goal is to allow the collaboration grow in a bottom-up approach.

“By sharing experiences, expertise and tips, we believe we’ll be able to create success stories to form the basis for helping make collaboration appealing to the rest of our people — and, step by step, it has been working.”

SAP Business ByDesign Gains Significant Traction With Larger Companies and Subsidiaries

Says Dr. Martin Petry of group CIO, Hilti…

“Implementing SAP Business ByDesign has allowed us to deliver on Hilti’s strategy of business modularity by implementing a solid core with SAP ERP at corporate and a flexible boundary, anchored by SAP Business ByDesign, at our subsidiaries.

“This has led to improved customer satisfaction and profitability at our subsidiaries, better leverage of operational infrastructure across our lead business organizations, and increased cross-organization process efficiency throughout.”
