Workflows That Work for You
We merge the SAP and Microsoft worlds.
Our teams from the Microsoft Competence Centre and the SAP Hub combine the two technologies in such a way that you can access the data in the SAP application directly in the familiar user-friendly Microsoft front end and work in the best possible way without media disruption. You get The Best of Both: SAP and Microsoft.
Our goal is to provide you with tools that enable you to work easily and effectively. The focus is always on the user's tasks, not on programmes, systems or technologies. In doing so, we use existing functions, standards and security mechanisms and optimise investments already made
