And herein lies the nagging doubt that many SAP customers, influencers and employees still have: Can SAP can fully transform its old-school ERP ways in order to un-tether back end systems and deal with critical mobility pain points like security and scalability?
My own employer, SAP, has reinvented itself from back-office ERP software purveyor to become a real-time platform company delivering break-through technologies that are transforming business.
For example, our global, single-instance ERP system runs 53 country payrolls on the SAP ERP Human Capital Management solution and our SAP NetWeaver Portal supports over 2 million members of the SAP Community Network.
With the new launch, SAP is focusing on cost-conscious small businesses to expand the reach of its ERP solutions by leveraging the on-demand software model.
