The packages are made up of market-leading SAP software supplemented by services and the partners' intellectual property.

Enterprise Asset Management, Customer Relationship Management, Purchasing and Logistics will also use Infor solutions.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Cloud location Munich<\/h3>\n<p>2018 is set to be the year of the cloud for software manufacturer WMD. By moving archiving and other ECM functionalities to the cloud, companies are relieving the burden on their IT team and local systems.<\/p>\n<p>In future, WMD will also drive this topic forward from its Munich location. To this end, the SAP Technology &amp; Innovation team led by system architect Oliver Merk is specifically looking for new employees for web development, cloud consulting and software development for the SAP Cloud Platform.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Faster invoice processing<\/h3>\n<p>Elix Polymers, a manufacturer of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) waxes and derivatives, is automating its accounts payable process with a solution from Esker.<\/p>\n<p>Elix Polymers wanted to optimize its supplier payments and chose Esker's cloud-based accounts payable solution to automate the annual volume of 8,000 invoices from 2,000 suppliers in Spain and North America.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, supplier invoices were processed manually, 75 percent of which were received by e-mail and 25 percent by post. Now, incoming invoices are scanned in batches and fed into an automated workflow.<\/p>\n<p>Esker's intelligent image recognition technology extracts data, identifies the relevant manager by supplier number and forwards the invoice for approval. Using machine learning, the Esker solution detects and corrects errors, prioritizes invoices and identifies which invoices need to be rejected and reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>Invoices with a purchase order reference and existing approval can be posted through automatically. The optimized process increases reliability and speeds up the processing of future invoices.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Best consultant<\/h3>\n<p>For the second time in a row, BTC Business Technology Consulting AG has achieved top ratings from customers in the \"brand eins Wissen\" and Statista consulting industry report in the Energy &amp; Environment category and has maintained its 13th place as an IT consulting company from the SME sector.<\/p>\n<p>rank out of 34 listed companies - including the big names in the consulting scene. This year, BTC received the \"Best Consultants 2018\" award not only in the Energy &amp; Environment category. In the IT implementation category, the Oldenburg-based IT company made it into the top 50 for the first time in 40th place.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Partner Center of Expertise<\/h3>\n<p>FIS Informationssysteme und Consulting GmbH is once again certified as an SAP Partner Center of Expertise (PCoE). SAP support partners must undergo regular audits to prove that they meet SAP's changing requirements for the three pillars of People, Processes and Infrastructure. This is why FIS has been certified as a PCoE for the fourth time in a row.<\/p>\n<p>SAP's products are becoming ever more comprehensive. New developments such as SAP S\/4 Hana, Hybris and the use of new cloud technologies in the SAP environment are increasing the demands on companies, processes and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Against this background, SAP partners also have to deal with increasingly complex issues. By being certified as a PCoE, customers have the guarantee that FIS fully meets and masters the technical and organizational quality requirements specified by SAP in terms of support standards, tools, product-related expertise and service quality.<\/p>\n<p>This certification is also reviewed in regular audits every two years and reissued if passed in order to guarantee consistently high quality.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Paper mills analyze Hana data<\/h3>\n<p>The Klingele Group relies on the DeltaMaster business intelligence software from Bissantz &amp; Company to analyze financial data from Hana. As a front end, DeltaMaster usually accesses the data warehouse systems of the major manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>At Klingele, the manufacturer of corrugated cardboard packaging, DeltaMaster is connected directly to the ERP system - without the Business Warehouse. This eliminates an otherwise time-consuming intermediate step in information processing. The high query speed required for direct access was achieved with Hana (SAP ERP powered by Hana).<\/p>\n<p>The SAP experts from the Bissantz consulting team implemented the project in just three days - from the connection to Hana and data modeling to the provision of all reports and analyses for profit and loss and market segment accounting.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Certified SAP support<\/h3>\n<p>Cormeta has been certified as a Partner Center of Expertise (PCoE) by SAP. When the Walldorf-based company certifies a partner as having excellent support, this is like the service Oscar of the ERP world. The Cormeta support team is therefore put to the test again by SAP every two years.<\/p>\n<p>The Ettlingen-based SAP Gold Partner can now enjoy this distinction once again: SAP awarded Cormeta the Partner Center of Expertise (PCoE) certificate, confirming its current technical and organizational support in accordance with SAP standards.<\/p>\n<p>Remote access to the customer's productive systems offers a major advantage for optimal customer support. This service is particularly popular with users of the company's own SAP industry solutions Tradesprint, Foodsprint, Pharmasprint and the add-ons for risk and credit management.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Customers know that our certified consultants bring over 20 years of experience to the table - and they are happy to tap into this knowledge\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>says Cormeta board member Holger Behrens.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Certified communication interfaces<\/h3>\n<p>Retarus customers can continue to rely on the integration capability and compatibility of their services with SAP solutions: With immediate effect, the BC-SMTP communication interface of Retarus' messaging services and the Faxolution 6 service for S\/4 Hana are officially \"SAP Certified\".

These include SAP banking modules and customized add-on modules, including online portals for end customers.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Field Service Management<\/h3>\n<p>MobileX has won Securiton from Switzerland as a new customer for MobileX-Dispatch, the graphical tool for deployment planning, as well as for MIP for Field Service and CrossMIP, the mobile solutions for service technicians.<\/p>\n<p>Securiton is the leading provider of security technology and systems in Switzerland.
