SAP delivers hosted model for its Business All-in-One solutions

SAP and SCT Services have joined their forces to deliver more options and additional licensing for SAP Business All-in-One solutions, a business software targeting small and medium companies in South Africa.

The partnership makes it possible for customers to receive industry-related business software, at a fixed subscription cost and minimal upfront investment. The platform is easily customizable and aims to help midsize companies in minimizing upfront costs with acquiring hardware and software licenses.

“We are expanding our SAP product range offering in 2010 by adding Subscription Based Hosting of SAP to our portfolio. It gives our prospects and customers another very sound option to consider when deciding on the method of acquiring SAP. Our market is ready for this: already, a number of prospects and customers have approached us for a hosted option.

This is perfect for growing businesses that need proper systems to control growth, stay on top of change and who prefer to rent rather than buy SAP ERP software”, said Victor van der Watt, CEO of SCT Services.

The subscription-based hosted delivery model for SAP business solutions is available from SCT Services in the South African market, on a period of 2,3 or 4 years-basis. Customers interested in the hosted model can evaluate and receive cost estimates for their requirements through a solution configurator for SAP Business All-in-One solutions.
