\"\"We are thrilled to announce that EPI-USE Labs has been awarded a prestigious SAP Innovation Award for our exceptional contributions to the SAP ecosystem. This accolade celebrates the company’s innovative spirit, and our commitment to driving transformative change within the industry.<\/h1>\n

One of the highlights recognised by SAP is EPI-USE Labs’ active participation in two Hack2Build events, where we showcased our skills in developing SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform)<\/a>\u00a0applications for the SAP Store. These events served as catalysts for creativity, enabling our innovative leaders to harness their collective expertise and deliver solutions that address real-world challenges faced by SAP customers.<\/p>\n

We have also been instrumental in fostering collaboration and co-innovation through design-thinking workshops at the EPI-USE Apphaus Pretoria<\/a>. By engaging directly with SAP customers, we have been able to gain valuable insights into their objectives and pain points, paving the way for the development of value-added solutions.<\/p>\n

These workshops exemplify our commitment to putting clients at the forefront of innovation, ensuring that our solutions are not only technologically advanced, but also aligned with the requirements of both the African and global market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honoured to have received this award,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Jhani Coetzee, Head of UI\/UX and SAP BTP.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the heart of EPI-USE Labs’ success lies a multifaceted approach to innovation, characterised by collaborative initiatives and client-centric solutions,”\u00a0<\/em>she added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The SAP Innovation Award is a testament to our unwavering dedication to pushing the boundaries of innovation, and driving positive change within the SAP ecosystem. As the company continues on its journey of transformation, we remain committed to fostering collaboration, driving value, and shaping the future of SAP in South Africa and beyond.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
