A long-standing partner of SAP, OpenText has received the Pinnacle Award for Solution Extension Partner 2020, its 13th recognition in a row, for providing solution extensions for SAP applications that accelerated technology innovation and demonstrated significant market and customer impact.
Information management solutions provider OpenText has strengthened its partnership with Google Cloud and SAP by expanding its local support for OpenText solution extensions for SAP applications in the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region. The strategic development will enable OpenText to offer increased choice and flexibility for customers’ in-region deployment of information management solutions for the SAP ecosystem by leveraging Google Cloud’s regional data centers in Singapore, India, and Japan.
Muhi Majzoub, EVP and Chief Product Officer at OpenText, highlighted that OpenText and SAP’s deep and long-term partnership is focused on delivering information management technologies in the cloud to create more intelligent, connected, and secure businesses. He explained:
“With regional data center support from our strategic partner Google Cloud, OpenText now offers these solutions for SAP applications across Asia. Together, we are supporting our customers’ regional compliance needs and data sovereignty requirements under a unified service level commitment from OpenText.”
Solution Extensions for SAP Applications in APJ
By expanding the availability of solution extensions for SAP applications as a managed service in APJ, OpenText will be able to capture the increasing demand for cloud-delivered information management in the region. The OpenText Suite for SAP supports many organisations’ Enterprise Information Management (EIM) strategy towards digital transformation, offering customers access to key business content within the context of an SAP business process. Having a single interface that contains all information provides users a seamless experience, better efficiencies, and reduced risk. The suite supports SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, and SAP Customer Experience.
Sharn Gamman, Commercial Operations Process and Training Manager at Foodstuffs North Island (FSNI), New Zealand’s largest grocery cooperative, shared how OpenText Suite for SAP delivered efficiency in their operations. She said:
“The integrated OpenText Suite for SAP solutions helped us extract even more value from our SAP implementation. When we started, there was an expectation that we would have cost savings from efficiency gains and shift staff to more value-added tasks. This is definitely the case. With less manual processing, we have been able to reinvest and focus on working more closely with our vendors.”
Here are the OpenText solution extensions for SAP applications available in APJ:
- OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions Cloud Edition
