Lei Shing Hong Limited and Olight have joined the list of customers that are accelerating their migration to the cloud with SAP solutions in China. Both enterprises have selected the German tech giant’s Business Transformation as a Service (BTaaS) offering RISE with SAP to support their respective cloud transformation journeys.
Introduced in January last year, RISE with SAP demonstrates the company’s commitment to delivering flexible and scalable products and services that continuously meet the ever-evolving needs of customers and partners. Driving business transformation and innovation while harnessing the power of the cloud, the subscription-based offering continues to gain traction in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Recently, it has added Lei Shing Hong Limited, an international conglomerate, and Olight, a global lighting company, to its roster of Chinese customers.
In an interview with Caijing, a Beijing-based independent magazine, former SAP APJ President, now SAP Executive Board Member and Head of Customer Success Scott Russell said that SAP China performed well last Q3 2021 and that the Chinese market is a global accelerator for SAP.

Noting that there are two strong driving forces for cloud growth — the need for digital innovation and business transformation — Russell emphasised that SAP has the abilities to execute these.
“The more companies that go to the cloud, the lower the cost of developing new business models with cloud capabilities. We have seen that the former power companies are transforming into service-oriented enterprises, service-oriented enterprises have begun to produce goods, and financial institutions have expanded into new fields,” he explained.
Powering Lei Shing Hong’s Cloud Digital Transformation
Lei Shing Hong Limited, an international conglomerate that caters luxury car brand services to a distribution network that covers over 80 cities across the country, forged a strategic partnership with SAP to migrate its existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to the cloud.

SAP will help provide an integrated cloud transformation solution using RISE with SAP to support the infrastructure, network security, and system technology management services of Lei Shing Hong.
Furthermore, Lei Shing Hong Motors Executive Director Sun Zhongwei said that the company hopes to achieve the stability and sustainability of its business operations through strategic digital upgrades. He noted that all of its efforts are geared towards providing customers with improved services and experiences.
Meanwhile, SAP Global Vice President and SAP China Co-General Manager Li Xudong highlighted the company’s support for Lei Shing Hong’s business transformation in the cloud. He remarked:
“We are very pleased to deepen cooperation between the two parties and use SAP’s one-stop solution of ‘going to the cloud’ to provide excellent exclusive services to help them fully migrate to the cloud flexibly and quickly, creating a new model in the industry.”
Accelerating Olight’s Migration to the Cloud with SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Olight, a leading enterprise in China’s mobile lighting industry, has also selected RISE with SAP to assist in the development of an integrated cloud management platform and a new model for cross-border e-commerce. (InsideSAP Asia often references articles from websites in other languages to bring you as much information as possible.) According to the press release, the collaboration project leveraging SAP S/4HANA Cloud (Private Edition) and SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) will also help accelerate Olight’s globalisation and provide domestic and international customers with an enhanced user experience.
Expressing his delight at the new partnership, Olight Group Chief Financial Officer Wang Zhijian stated that they are “happy to cooperate with SAP” as the German multinational has a history of helping companies expand globally, develop transformation strategies, expedite cloud migration, and realise business transformation.
“With the help of SAP’s cloud technology, Olight will further enhance its global operation capabilities, and under the new opportunities of the times, burst out innovative thinking and business models.
