Optimal Solutions Certified by SAP® to Market
Hosted, Subscription-based SAP Business All-in-One Solutions
Certification Rounds Out Optimal’s Industry-Leading Portfolio of
SAP Hosting and Application Management Services
IRVING, Texas – January 19, 2011 – Optimal Solutions Integration, Inc. (Optimal), an SAP® services partner, today announced it has been certified by SAP AG as a provider of hosted, subscription-based SAP Business All-in-One industry solutions.
The subscription-based hosting option – an extension of the SAP Business All-in-One fast-start program – allows organizations to access an SAP Business All-in-One solution that is hosted and managed by a select, certified SAP partner such as Optimal Solutions. Customers pay a flat monthly or quarterly subscription fee for use of SAP Business All-in-One. The fee covers everything from up-front hardware setup to ongoing application hosting and management.
Optimal is among the first SAP partners in North America to receive SAP certification to provide subscription-based hosting for SAP Business All-in-One solutions.
“In today’s turbulent economy, many midsize companies are finding it difficult to absorb the up-front capital expenditure typically associated with buying and implementing the enterprise software they need to drive efficiency, sustain growth and remain competitive in a global market,” said Xavier De Grove, global head of subscription-based hosting for SAP Business All-in-One Solutions.
De Grove added, “The subscription-based hosting option for SAP Business All-in-One minimizes up-front costs, provides complete cost transparency and predictability, and dramatically reduces – in some cases eliminates – the need for in-house IT resources. This model attests to SAP and SAP partners’ commitment to delivering solutions that best fit the needs of midsize companies and demonstrate a real-world understanding of today’s economic and business climates.”
To receive SAP certification for subscription-based hosting for SAP Business All-in-One, a partner must develop and market an offering of qualified SAP Business All-in-One partner solutions and demonstrate application hosting and application management capabilities that meet SAP’s high standards.
Said Elliott Garofalo, SVP, SME practice, for Optimal Solutions Integration, “Subscription-based SAP Business All-in-One solutions directly align with the business needs, financial constraints, and IT preferences of midsize companies focused on becoming leaner, more efficient, more flexible, more competitive and more profitable. We’re seeing an enthusiastic response from execs when they learn they can get the breadth and depth of SAP functionality in an accelerated time frame with low up-front costs and fixed-priced monthly or quarterly payments.”
