T-Systems SA is to assist T-Systems North America with its internal SAP implementation after the German parent found that the local company`s SAP Financials system is the best practice for the group`s international companies.

The SAP system template at the South African company is to be rolled out in 23 countries, with T-Systems SA playing a key role in the process.

The company says the first pilot is under way in T-Systems North America and SAP consultants from T-Systems SA are engaged locally and in Chicago.

Kobus Vorster, T-Systems` SAP template project manager, says that outside Europe the South African company has one of the biggest SAP practices within the group.

The first phase of the project, which involves adapting the SAP Financials of the US company to that of the parent company, is scheduled for completion next month.

The second phase is to take another six months.

Dennis Twomey, business manager, systems integration, says T-Systems SA has been designated as the roll-out partner and central hub for the hosting of the SAP system.
