Achieves Triple-Digit Growth in SAP HANA, Cloud and OEM Business
SINGAPORE — SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) increased its Asia Pacific Japan Software and Software-Related Service Revenues by 7% in Q3FY13. Cloud subscription revenue grew triple digits for the third consecutive quarter. SAP HANA, the platform for real-time business applications, continues to be a major growth engine in the region as organizations recognize the platform as the in-memory computing standard. The OEM business registered a solid performance as OEM partners embrace the SAP technology platform and embed SAP software into their products to deliver more end-user benefits.
“China, Southeast Asia and South Korea executed well and recorded outstanding double-digit growth. In China, large enterprises are choosing SAP over our competition. We continue to invest in our ecosystem and strategic partnerships, such as our partnership with Huawei to deepen R&D efforts in the support of SAP HANA. We are optimistic with our pipeline heading into the fourth quarter despite macroeconomic challenges in Australia and India,” said Steve Watts, President, SAP Asia Pacific Japan.
