Soltius New Zealand and ABC Analytics have joined forces to bring SAP’s Strategy Management Solution (SSM) to New Zealand.
The solution is designed to help drive execution of the business planning process by linking strategic plans to initiatives, performance measures and people.
ABC Analytics, which is a specialist Australian SAP partner, will continue its own operation focused in Australia. The company has previously orchestrated four large-scale roll outs of SSM, to Melbourne and Sydney Water, Origin LNG and La Trobe University.
ABC founders Les Smith and Simon Yates identified opportunities for the SSM solution in the NZ market, and so went in search of a local partner.
“With the solution doing well in Australia, we began looking at the New Zealand market to see whether there was a need for companies across the ditch to implement the SSM solution,” ABC Analytics’ Simon Yates said. “Through our networks and industry knowledge we can see that a number of organisations should be looking to the solution to enhance performance.”
As an SAP gold partner with strong connection in the NZ market, Soltius seemed like a natural fit for the partnership, and the two companies have already begun showcasing opportunities to New Zealand businesses this month with a series of seminars.
