Addressing the meeting in Ho Chi Minh early August, attended by some 400 business leaders and managers, SAP Southeast Asia’s president and managing director Francois Lancon said SAP has made continual efforts over the past few years to work out solutions simpler than before.
“They aim to help companies of all sizes and industries run better and faster, from back office to boardroom, warehouse to storefront. The benefit is zero training for use,” he said.
At the one-day forum, the global corporation announced its latest application software programmes designed for today’s convergence of mobile, social, big data and cloud technology.
One of them is the Ariba Network, which Lancon said more than a million businesses around the world has joined. The Ariba Network is a platform that provides a way for business-to-business connectivity and process automation.
“Today, SAP connects more than one million companies in 190 countries on Ariba, the world’s largest business-to-business network. These companies are conducting over $450 billion business annually, getting new businesses and seeing bottom-line savings everyday,” said him.
So far, SAP Vietnam has served about 200 clients in the nation, said Pham The Truong, country managing director. Bigger names among them were ANZ Vietnam Bank, oil company Petrolimex, drug company Imexpharm, retailer Big C, Trung Nguyen Coffee and Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group.
