Never a dull day in SAP...!
Everyday, we get an update about a new investment made into our growth plans & innovation. It gives me the confidence when working with my mid-market customers on the HR Transformation projects.
Not only does SAP SuccessFactors have the absolute best of breed full Talent Management Suite, integrated through our very own bespoke HANA Cloud Integration (HCI) tool- we also have new exciting enhancements such as Intelligent Services & Continuous Performance Management.
However, it is global partnerships like this that ultimately demonstrate our security. This is particularly exciting for customers who create business applications exclusive to their business to connect with their target audience.
Through this powerhouse partnership, SAP will have the capability to develop bespoke business apps for Apple & iOS devices. SAP will enable members to create custom apps using Apple's Swift. Apple also get to utilize SAP's sales consultants around the world to help it sell their devices to the our 300,000+ customers.
Statement from Apple's CEO Tim Cook on Thursday:
“This partnership will transform how iPhone and iPad are used in enterprise by bringing together the innovation and security of iOS with SAP’s deep expertise in business software. As the leader in enterprise software and with 76% of business transactions touching an SAP system, SAP is the ideal partner to help us truly transform how businesses around the world are run on iPhone and iPad.”
