Sapphire Systems has recently announced that it has acquired InCloud Solutions, in a bid to accelerate growth and extend its SAP capabilities. InCloud is an established specialist in SAP’s business cloud-based ERP software, SAP Business ByDesign.
Leading digital operating technology provider Sapphire Systems plans to utilise InCloud Solutions’ global expertise in SAP’s business cloud-based ERP software. Adding to the growing list of major companies consolidating among their ranks, this acquisition aims to expand Sapphire’s SAP knowledge and strengthen its role as an industry-leading SAP Partner.
With InCloud Solutions’ team of dedicated expert consultants and a comprehensive portfolio of SAP-aligned enterprise products, the investment is anticipated to boost Sapphire’s SAP capacities globally. By leveraging SAP Business ByDesign, UK-based InCloud Solutions also helps small and midsize companies streamline their processes and obtain real-time insights into business data.
With over 1000 customers worldwide and development locations throughout the USA, Latin America, the UK, and Asia, Sapphire Systems will, in turn, contribute to InCloud’s growth by widening its scale and reach. As a Gold Channel Partner for SAP, Sapphire also engages with experts in transformative business management applications including SAP Business ByDesign, SAP Business One, and S/4HANA Cloud.
Thrilled to welcome InCloud Solutions to the team, Sapphire Systems CEO Ian Caswell said in a press release statement:
“2021 has got off to an exceptionally busy start for us and we’re incredibly excited to announce our third acquisition of the year, SAP Business ByDesign specialist, InCloud Solutions. As part of the accelerated growth strategy we announced last year, this latest acquisition will strengthen and expand our SAP practice, bringing further expertise and experience to our growing client base.”
Utilising SAP’s Business Cloud-Based ERP Software
Dubbed as “one of the best technology companies communicating their future direction and road map” in an IDC MarketScape report, SAP Business ByDesign brings automation and intelligence to fast-growing, mid-market enterprises.
The Software-as-a-service (SaaS) integrated, cloud-based ERP solution helps build a package tailored to the needs of businesses, allowing them to be more flexible in upgrading their deployments.
Furthermore, Bob Atkinson, Managing Director, InCloud Solutions, stated that SAP Business ByDesign is “perfectly aligned” with the digital transformation prevailing in today’s business landscape.
“We are delighted to become part of the Sapphire team; we slot perfectly into their culture, strategy, and vision of the future as we strive to help our clients accelerate their shift away from current processes towards a digitally operated and cohesive format,” Atkinson further said.
SAP Business ByDesign empowers customers with responsiveness and agility to help them reap valuable rewards in their operations. Additionally, InCloud has been working closely with SAP to enhance the business cloud-based ERP software. Paul McNally, Senior SAP Business ByDesign Supply Chain Consultant at InCloud Solutions, commended the software giant’s approach in developing new solutions. He said:
“SAP actually listens and takes suggestions for improving its solutions. What’s more, internal SAP experts regularly monitor posts and respond, letting us know our suggestions and questions are important to them.”
Moreover, the latest strategic move backed by Horizon Capital represents Sapphire’s third purchase of the year and reinforces the company’s vision to become a major provider of enterprise software applications and digital operating platforms. Commenting on the recently announced deal, Horizon Capital Partner Luke Kingston said:
“We are delighted to be supporting Sapphire on its acquisition of InCloud Solutions which further consolidates its position as the leading provider of digital operating platforms.”
