NEC Launches SAP Business One on cloud in Thailand

NEC Corporation (Thailand) launched a new ERP application in Thailand – “SAP Business One OnDemand hosted on NEC Cloud”. This is the first such SAP application to be hosted on Cloud and is catered for small and medium enterprises that may require a system for financial, sales, purchasing and inventory management in Thailand.

 

As a certified partner of SAP Business One since 2008, NEC Thailand has extensive experience in implementing SAP Business One in Thailand, where it has many customers who are utilizing SAP Business One applications on-premise. Drawing on its local expertise in implementing and providing cloud services, and changing market trends of businesses moving onto Cloud platforms, NEC Thailand is expanding its offerings of SAP applications for the Thai market, to include a SAP Business One application as one of ERP applications to be provided as a service hosted on cloud.

 

The SAP Business One hosted on NEC Cloud is ready from May 2012, in three packages – Standard, Hybrid and Economic packages.  Customers can benefit from greater mobility as the application is accessible anytime, anywhere, and initial investment for hardware and software, and IT maintenance by customer are not necessary when deploying SAP Business One on Cloud, as compared to implementing a SAP Business One on-premise package. Customers who have been considering using Datacenter as part of their Business Continuity Plan (BCP) will benefit from this SAP Business One hosted on NEC Cloud due to its greater mobility.

 

SAP Thailand Managing Director Thomas Zack said "We are delighted that NEC Thailand will deliver the SAP Business One solution through the cloud.  The solution will transform how SMEs conduct their businesses anytime, anywhere. Thailand’s time is now. The market is at the cusp of change as Thai Customers invest to ensure they are competitive in an increasingly borderless world. Mobility and cloud are more than just buzzwords and we see that Customers are taking cautious, but significant steps towards adopting cloud solutions in Thailand.”  Zack further added, “SMEs need to be empowered with innovations like on-demand services and cloud solutions, so that they can keep their costs low, steadily grow their business and stay ahead of the competition.”

 

“NEC Thailand is very privileged and excited to be SAP’s first local partner to bring in SAP Business One on Cloud” – says Hiroshi Sato, President of NEC Thailand. “We are confident that enterprises can benefit from this new offering from NEC and SAP, as they now have a more flexible alternative to implement such business tools to improve their operations.”
