SAP Research will this year consolidate its two Australian research locations into one, with its operations previously based at the Future Logistics Living Lab relocating to Brisbane.
According to an SAP ANZ spokesperson, the change “will enable SAP Research in Australia to improve its focus on key programs such as HANA Sensor and Sustainable Business Networks, maximise its business impact, increase the relevance of R&D activities for SAP, and engage in research commercialisation opportunities”.
SAP said the overall Australian SAP Research team will remain the same size in 2013, with the three full-time employees currently based in Sydney offered relocation to the Brisbane research facility.
Current PhD students and temporary employees will complete their respective terms as planned in Sydney.
Despite the move, the spokesperson said SAP Research will continue to play an active role in supporting the Future Logistics Living Lab alongside NICTA and 28 other program participants.
“SAP Research is very proud to have been part of the founding team behind Living Labs, which has delivered a diverse and exciting portfolio of research and development activities since it was first conceived in 2009.”
Wasim Sadiq will continue to lead the SAP Research team in Brisbane.
