Business Issues … Why SAP?
Business Issues ! Excelerate needed a world-class system to support business
! A system that could be easily scale
! It had to start small, at low cost and be easily sustained or expanded
! It had to provide strong financial controls and a great deal of automation, so Excelerate could stay lean and remain efficient
Approach ! They considered a variety or ERP solutions and chose SAP for the following reasons:
– Needed a system that could scale up to growth plans – Footprint in the industry – Comprehensive, end to end, coverage (no surprises!) – Commitment to organic, user initiated, change
