Groupsoft has evaluated the critical success factors for SAP® upgrade projects and has built a detailed roadmap to ensure you benefit from a highly successful upgrade. Our SAP professionals possess vast experience with upgrade projects, and we are one of the few providers performing upgrades to ERP 6.0. |
The latest ERP solution from SAP delivers significant product enhancements for financial management, human capital management, procurement and logistics, product development and manufacturing, sales and service, and other corporate services.
In addition, SAP ERP is powered by the SAP NetWeaver technology platform, a composition platform that allows organizations to build new business solutions rapidly while realizing more business value from existing IT investments. All additional product enhancements will be delivered via a series of enhancement packages, which will not require you to make a other platform or solution changes through 2010. |
