OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in enterprise information management (EIM), today released OpenText Business Center for SAP Solutions. Providing customers with a new platform for digitising the capture, approval and processing of high-value documents in a workflow, OpenText Business Center features preconfigured solution accelerators for many manually supported business processes running in SAP software.

Offering best-practice solution accelerators, Business Center enables rapid time to market by augmenting and automating mission-critical business processes across SAP Business Suite software.

OpenText Business Center for SAP Solutions allows customers to streamline their operations to be more efficient in day-to-day business, as evidenced by the recent release of OpenText Solution Accelerator for Sales Order Processing.

With its new self-adaptive learning module associated with the capturing component, OpenText Solution Accelerator enables customers to quickly realise value by automating the entire sales order creation process from capture to creation in SAP software, eliminating time-consuming programming processes and streamlining configuration. Highly simplified with the new SAP Fiori user experience, changes which traditionally required manual input can be done quickly and easily through a mobile device.

"The new Solution Accelerator for Sales Order Processing allows customers to speed up the deployment process significantly and free up much-needed resources to focus on cultivating revenue opportunities," said Adam Howatson, chief marketing officer at OpenText. "We will continue to deliver solutions for our SAP customers that drive business value and help them succeed in the digital-first world."

OpenText Business Center for SAP Solutions is OpenText's new platform to enable business transformation for a variety of processes supported by SAP software. The capturing component digitises data entry and validation, while the workflow accelerator can speed up workflow implementation by an estimated five to 10 times.

The solution enables customers to:

* Digitise incoming documents, such as paper, e-mail, PDF or fax;
* Simplify data entry, validation and processing;
* Browse through business objects in SAP software to construct a holistic view of end-to-end business processes, including all associated documentation;
* Accelerate process implementation in SAP software based on best-practice methodology;
* Connect instantly with business partners via the flexible electronic input channel; and
* Access and approve processes on the go with a SAP mobile app.

OpenText Suite for SAP Solutions is designed to enable end-to-end business value. The solutions easily plug into the existing business architecture running SAP software, reflecting SAP's innovation strategy for non-disruptive adoption. OpenText Suite for SAP Solutions helps assure that content is available in context, keeping its life cycle intact, from creation to disposal.
