SAP to Launch Complete Cloud Portfolio in New Zealand

Scalable cloud solutions from SAP to help New Zealand organisations of all sizes compete better

AucklandSAP will launch its complete cloud offering in New Zealand at customer events in Auckland on 23 July and Wellington on 26 July.

For the first time, the company’s entire set of cloud solutions, supporting an organisation’s processes for managing money, serving customers, engaging and developing its people and working with suppliers, will be accessible to New Zealand businesses of all sizes.

SAP’s cloud offering supports a hybrid approach by which customers can mix and match cloud, on-premise and hosted applications with seamless integration with their SAP and non-SAP systems. This allows businesses to adopt cloud at their own pace and preserve their existing investments.

“New Zealand businesses are being transformed by the cloud at unprecedented velocity,” says Graeme Riley, Managing Director, SAP New Zealand. “To successfully compete in global markets, Kiwi businesses need systems that are up and running fast at low cost of ownership, while enabling scalable and rapid innovation.”

SAP today offers a comprehensive portfolio of cloud applications, with over 29 million users in the cloud, along with experience with the world’s largest cloud implementations and an unparalleled user experience. The solutions reflect SAP’s industry expertise from more than 238,000 SAP customers in 191 countries across 25 industries.

Those who attend the launch will be able to explore the next wave of cloud solutions that are helping organisations like theirs manage the complexities of customer, supplier, employee and financial expectations.

Attendees will also learn how consumers are evaluating, seeking help, buying and providing feedback in new and innovative ways. And they will hear the latest industry trends and strategies about how cloud is being evaluated and adopted in organisations.
