Orlando, Fla – SAPPHIRE 2009 – May 12, 2009– Optimal Solutions Integration, Inc. today announced the Optimal FlexChoice Advantage offering, a new, highly flexible subscription-based pricing and delivery model that makes it easy and affordable for midsize companies to implement and quickly realize the benefits of running their business on SAP ® solutions. Optimal Solutions is an SAP channel partner authorized to resell the SAP Business All-in-One and SAP BusinessObjects™ solutions to midsize companies in North America, and a leading consulting and staffing firm that is a premier partner in the SAP Consulting Partner Program for North America.

Optimal FlexChoice Advantage accelerates time-to-value and provides the predictable fixed-cost structure midsize companies require from their enterprise technology investments, particularly during periods of economic turbulence. The Optimal FlexChoice Advantage offering is available for Optimal’s SAP Business All-in-One industry solutions and the pre-configured SAP BusinessObjects solutions in SAP Business All-in-One.

Benefits provided by Optimal FlexChoice Advantage include:

Fixed, predictable cost – All costs associated with the purchase of SAP software, implementation and management of the application are combined into a simple monthly payment.

Cash and credit preservation – Fixed payments distributed over time minimize up-front cash outlays and leave vital lines of credit and cash balances available for operational and short-term financing needs.

Application functionality – With the SAP ERP application and proven industry-specific SAP Best Practices at its core, Optimal FlexChoice Advantage includes a feature-rich, scalable and extensible business application platform.

Accelerated implementation and time-to-value – Optimal FlexChoice Advantage allows for a “start small” approach that reduces risk and accelerates organizational adoption, while laying a technological and business-process-oriented foundation for future expansion.

Single source for an end-to-end solution – Optimal FlexChoice Advantage provides an easy and affordable approach to enabling an organization with the power of SAP solutions. Optimal’s highly skilled professionals handle all aspects of software and hardware acquisition, hosting, design, configuration, maintenance and support services.

Frees organizations to focus on core competencies – The Optimal FlexChoice Advantage approach allows organizations to focus on those initiatives and processes that drive strategic business value. Customers get world-class application functionality and support at an affordable and predictable price point, while Optimal handles support and management of the underlying technology.

Investment security – With more than 86,000 customers across 120 countries and over 35 years of experience, SAP is the world’s leading provider of business software, giving customers the peace of mind that their investment is safe and secure.

“In these tough economic times, it’s definitely not lack of need or desire slowing down SAP implementations among midsize companies,” said Elliott Garofalo, senior vice president, SME practice, Optimal Solutions. “In fact, most companies we speak with openly acknowledge an immediate need for a more efficient and reliable system to run core business processes. The problem is closely guarded capital expenditures. The Optimal FlexChoice Advantage offering enables midsize companies to implement SAP solutions today and lay the foundation for future growth without impacting their tight fiscal budgets.”

“We expect an enthusiastic response from mid-market companies to this practical and flexible offering,” said Tom Cooper, senior vice president, SME, SAP America, Inc. “The Optimal FlexChoice Advantage pricing and delivery model provides the flexibility required in times of economic uncertainty.
