Key technology of digitalization

In quite a few boardrooms of German and international companies, IT is now perceived as an obstacle or even an impediment to progress. The background to this is that IT landscapes that have grown over many years and are often very heterogeneous are in many cases simply rigid and no longer change-friendly.

After all, the SAP community was able to keep up with the pace of change of the software engineers and developers for a long time without any major problems or delays.

However, this has also changed fundamentally in recent years. The disruptive power of the digitalization of everyday life is increasingly affecting the way in which business is conducted. Customers and their digital knowledge and behavior are increasingly becoming the focus of companies.

This is changing industries and business models. The wishes of the users determine the pace and type of change and no longer the engineer with his view of what is technically feasible.

The ability to react permanently, quickly and economically to changes in the environment is therefore one of the critical success factors in competition across all industries today. Against this backdrop, transformation software is increasingly becoming a key technology for coping with permanent change processes.

In particular, the demand for standard software that automatically analyzes and implements changes in IT systems is increasing. This offers customers clear quality benefits, while at the same time significantly reducing the time and costs of transformation projects.

In view of the increased pressure to change on the part of customers and expectations regarding deadlines and costs, the requirements profile for IT service providers has also changed. Here, too, the findings are unfortunately clear: many service providers lack customer proximity.

Today, strong IT service providers must be able to support transformations at both a global and regional level across a wide range of ERP systems, they must offer a professional consulting service and at the same time be able to provide an alternative to cost-intensive concepts.

SNP is strictly geared towards these requirements and has a clear unique selling point in the market with its self-learning, high-performance automation software.

SNP has set itself the goal of enabling its customers to successfully shape digital change with IT that is open to change and to exploit new opportunities in the market. Our presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia, which has been continuously built up and expanded in recent years, enables us to work closely with our customers in partnership on large and highly complex transformation projects - across multiple cultures, time zones and languages, in real time and with our own teams around the clock.

In addition to targeted acquisitions, such as the purchase of Astrums Consulting in Asia, and the development of Oracle ERP expertise in the USA, SNP has also gradually expanded its global, cross-ERP consulting approach in recent years with an end-to-end approach.

With the acquisition of RSP Unternehmensberatung, SNP offers its customers differentiated SAP module consulting. With over 600 employees in the USA, Europe and Asia, SNP now supports globally active customers in the selection, rollout and optimization of their business applications and in the ongoing transformation - without hindering the ongoing operation of IT landscapes and, above all, with the aim of making IT the "enabler" in companies again.
