SAP AG today announced that Burger King Corporation has selected the mySAP.com suite of e-business solutions as the information technology platform to enable its information technology strategy and increase the effectiveness of its business operations.
Burger King Corporation will deploy mySAP.com as the integrated platform for a variety of solutions including enterprise management, financials, real estate management, treasury management, and enhanced human resources functionality. An SAP customer since 1995, Burger King Corporation will begin its deployment of mySAP.com later this month. SAP is the world's leading provider of e-business software solutions. The announcement was made at the Retail Systems 2002 Conference & Exposition in Chicago, Illinois, 24 to 27 June.
"This decision sets the foundation for our strategy to invest in world-class systems enabling Burger King to take advantage of new technologies to support operational excellence and growth," said Bennett Nussbaum, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Burger King Corporation.
"The solution from SAP will provide us an integrated platform that will enable us to link our critical business functions and better manage our business," said Rafael A Sanchez, chief information officer, Burger King Corporation.
mySAP Financials provides Burger King Corporation with a powerful tool for processing and interpreting financial data more effectively, streamlining the financial supply chain, and improving short-term and long-term business performance through closed-loop management processes. Burger King Corporation will utilise strategic enterprise management capabilities for integrated strategic planning, performance monitoring, business consolidation, and effective stakeholder communication. The treasury management function will allow Burger King Corporation to manage liquidity, assess currency and interest-rate exposure, and manage financial transactions and portfolios.
Burger King will upgrade its existing human resources solution from SAP with mySAP Human Resources (mySAP HR), which provides human resources professionals, executives, and line managers with a comprehensive set of solutions to enable better decision making, guarantee alignment of human assets with Burger King Corporation's strategic goals, and optimise the company's investment in all employees. In addition, mySAP HR empowers employees to actively participate in managing their own life events through the expanded employee self-service capability. Role-based content delivery within the solution supplies valuable information and tools to ensure a higher degree of job effectiveness and satisfaction.
