Companies today need to transform their strategies into business processes and systems. For the organisation to profit, these processes must steadily evolve to create continuous value.
Understanding this, global provider of inter-enterprise software solutions, SAP introduced its ValueSAP strategy. A comprehensive set of tools, content and methodologies, ValueSAP enables existing enterprise customers to continuously derive benefits from their enterprise systems, while capitalising on new developments within the Internet economy.
ValueSAP not only applies to existing customers. As part of a global strategy, SAP also provides methodologies to ensure businesses identify and develop the best solution with maximum benefits, by using industry solution maps, industry-specific key performance indicators as well as industry benchmarks.
George Oertel, managing director of SAP Africa explains: "During the 1990's, we saw a global trend towards faster implementations - firstly the move from the mainframe to client/server environments and then the replacement of non-Y2K compliant systems.
"With the AcceleratedSAP (ASAP) implementation methodology, we provide a methodology to implement our solutions fast, effectively and with the quality expected by our clients. ValueSAP allows us to assist the market in unlocking the full potential of both existing enterprise implementations, as well as new Internet solutions."
ValueSAP program manager at SAP Africa, Arnd Herrmann believes SAP's initiative enables companies to turn their strategic objectives into commercial reality throughout the entire solution lifecycle.
"Having used AcceleratedSAP successfully during the implementation cycle for more than four years, we have now started to roll out other ValueSAP components into the African market. All companies we have spoken to, existing customers as well as new prospects, welcome this value-based approach. They are extremely impressed with the content and the tools we provide to support this process."
Oertel adds: "With ValueSAP we provide a complete customer life cycle solution and support for continuous improvement. SAP Africa and its TeamSAP partners can assist all companies every step of the way, to identify, define and implement the SAP solution best-suited to the business needs. We can also manage the implementation and on-going support of the systems and help to continually improve profitability, competitiveness and business agility."
