The Regional Strategic Services Partner (RSSP) initiative is an SAP partner program designed to provide a wide variety of services from partners such as Fujitsu, including consulting services, implementation, and support services, managed services, and more.
This month, German enterprise software giant SAP launched the SAP RSSP initiative in Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) with the aim of further reinforcing the SAP ecosystem within the region. This new strategy will provide qualified partners with an array of services that can assist them in rapidly growing their SAP practice in a collaborative partnership with the multinational tech company. The RSSP is envisioned as a way for SAP to help build up its partner base and develop even stronger relationships between them, ultimately allowing companies to benefit from more value when it comes to utilizing SAP’s products and services.
SAP’s Global Strategic Services Partner (GSSP) program, which promotes SAP worldwide partners’ skills across many areas of expertise including consulting, infrastructure, and technology, is different from the newest SAP program in APJ. Leveraging GSSP’s SAP Partner Finder, businesses can select an SAP services partner that meets their specific requirements for digital transformation.
Fujitsu Becomes Newest SAP Partner to Join RSSP Program
Fujitsu’s participation in the SAP RSSP effort is a major step in realizing the company’s ambition for “Business Applications” to facilitate more sustainable business transformation as part of Fujitsu Uvance, the company’s portfolio of global solutions aimed at realizing a sustainable world. By launching this program, Fujitsu intends to provide multinational clients in the APAC region with end-to-end assistance in modernizing and migrating their mission-critical systems to the cloud, beginning with the design phase and continuing through operations.
Additionally, Fujitsu will increase its DX solution delivery to clients in the APJ market as well as its capacity to design SAP-enabled solutions customized to local business practices and legal systems in each country. Furthermore, Fujitsu aims to ease its clients’ transition to cloud infrastructures by recommending the German company’s RISE with SAP and other solutions developed in close partnership with Fujitsu. RISE with SAP is a Business Transformation as a Service (BTaaS) cloud package built on SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).
SAP Asia Pacific Japan President Paul Marriott said that the company is pleased with Fujitsu’s decision to join SAP’s Regional Strategic Services Partner program because Fujitsu has been a trusted customer and partner for many years. He added:
“Closer collaboration and innovation with our partners is critical to ensure we continue to meet the needs of our customers and support them on their cloud transformation journeys. Fujitsu’s experience implementing RISE with SAP for their own digital transformation demonstrates its commitment to its own and our customers’ growth, scaling from Japan through the rest of the region.”
Supporting Customers Using SAP Solutions
Fujitsu, a leading provider of technology solutions with an extensive and impressive history in the manufacturing and retail industries, is committed to helping its customers succeed through the SAP RSSP initiative. This forward-thinking program encourages the digital transformation of businesses by modernizing core systems and utilizing digitalization to streamline management and business processes.
Shunsuke Onishi, SEVP, Head of Global Customer Success, Fujitsu, stated that Fujitsu and SAP have been collaborating to help clients maximize the benefits they receive from integrating their respective technologies and software. Commenting on the company’s latest participation in the regional SAP partner program, he shared:
“Through this RSSP initiative, we will contribute to the creation of a flexible and scalable foundation to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Together we will be providing best practice recommendations to customers who work beyond national and regional boundaries.”
Taking into account the varying business customs and legal frameworks across the Asia Pacific region, Fujitsu and SAP are working to provide clients with innovative solutions including:
- Cloud migration planning and execution services – Fujitsu’s consulting expertise for developing business systems and cloud deployment, together with its range of digital solutions, will help customers with their end-to-end digital transformation centered on SAP solutions. By providing a unified platform for system implementation and streamlining decision-making, Fujitsu aims to appeal to customers with operations in many regions.
- Designing SAP-enabled solutions that address specific regional issues – Fujitsu will provide new industry solutions that are compatible with SAP BTP such as “Fujitsu Application for SAP Solutions” for the manufacturing sector and “Fujitsu Profit Protection” for the retail sector.
