SAP Australia and New Zealand has announced the appointment of Michael Harman as the new head of Rapid Deployment Solutions (RDS) for Australia and New Zealand.
Harman will be responsible for the go-to-market strategy and positioning of SAP’s portfolio of RDS, leveraging SAP’s partner network and SAP’s specialised sales team.
Harman said the market has responded well to RDS.
“Our customers are calling for solutions that can be deployed easily, quickly and affordably with a predictable scope, time, cost and value. This allows our customers to innovate quickly, and deliver new solutions faster to their business.”
Harman also said RDS will be increasingly available for customers.
“More and more of our solutions will be RDS-enabled, and customers given the choice of which solutions they want, when they want it and how they want it,” Harman said. “That gives us a unique place in the market.”
Prior to Harman’s role as head of RDS, he was the first point for contact for SAP’s commercial customers in his role as a customer relationship executive for SAP ANZ. Harman has also held roles in presales, presales management and field operations management for various companies, including JD Edward/Peoplesoft and Mincom.
