The audit was carried out by a state-supervised auditing company.<\/p>\n<p>The International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) is the international auditing standard that assesses the effectiveness of the internal control system (ICS) of service organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The standard was created by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) as the successor to the SAS 70 standard. ISAE 3402 aims to comprehensively test an organization's internal control system and assess its effectiveness in detail.<\/p>\n<p>The audit is performed over a period of six months. The ISAE 3402 audit report contains the opinion of an external audit firm on the control system at the service provider, a description of the control points, the audit method and controls, information on the audit period and a statement on the effectiveness of the controls.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Forbes \"30 under 30 Europe\"<\/h3>\n<p>The founder of the Munich-based technology start-up Celonis, Alexander Rinke, is included in the list of the Top 30 Super Achievers in Science &amp; Healthcare. Every year, Business Forbes magazine names outstanding personalities under 30 who, through their achievements and successes, exert a significant influence in their respective fields and provide forward-looking impetus.<\/p>\n<p>With this listing, Forbes is particularly recognizing Rinke's achievements as co-founder and CEO of the big data analytics start-up Celonis. Celonis Process Mining complements Hana with the ability to extract data from digital traces in IT-driven processes and thus make business processes completely transparent.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Hosting and Hana partner<\/h3>\n<p>Akquinet has been certified as an official SAP hosting and Hana partner. The Hamburg-based IT service provider supports companies in optimizing their SAP business processes along the value chain and in securing their data. Akquinet supports numerous customers in the implementation of their SAP business processes and in the protection of their business data in application and operation.<\/p>\n<p>The company can now boast two new certificates: It has passed the audit to become an SAP-certified provider of hosting services with the result \"Advanced\". The IT service provider is also an SAP-certified provider of Hana Operations Services.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>New office in England<\/h3>\n<p>Gold Partner MHP opened a new location in England in February. Based in Birmingham, the subsidiary primarily serves automotive manufacturers and suppliers from England. The Porsche subsidiary now has a total of thirteen locations in Germany, Switzerland, England, the USA, China and Romania.<\/p>\n<p>With what is now its fifth location outside Germany, MHP is continuing to drive forward the internationalization of the consulting company. Ralf Hofmann, Chairman of the Management Board at MHP:<\/p>\n<p><em>\"England is an important location within Europe for the automotive industry and therefore also for us. Several successful automotive companies and important MHP customers have their headquarters there.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Digital CAD release<\/h3>\n<p>Seal Systems enables digital approval processes for CAD documents by automatically integrating a digital signature into the SAP workflow. In addition, the document can be converted to PDF\/A. Digital approval processes for CAD documents are often not possible.<\/p>\n<p>If several people are to approve a CAD document, it is therefore often simply printed out and signed manually by the people involved. Seal Systems simplifies and completes such approval processes by automatically integrating a digital signature into the SAP workflow.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>ERP Implementation<\/h3>\n<p>In March 2015, Swiss beverage packaging manufacturer Helvetia Packaging opted for SAP as its ERP system and for the DHC\/Conactive consortium as its implementation partner. Helvetia Packaging invested around 70 million euros in the construction of a modern production facility in Saarlouis, Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Packaging for the beverage industry has been produced there since the middle of the year. This ambitious schedule also placed the highest demands on DHC and Conactive as consulting partners, as the core processes for procurement, production and logistics as well as for finance and controlling had to be available in the SAP system from June 2015.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>S\/4 Simple Finance Migration<\/h3>\n<p>Before supporting its customers with the switch to the current SAP S\/4 Hana Finance 2.0, the Uniorg Group first converted its own productive SAP system from SAP Simple Finance 1.0 to SAP S\/4 Hana Finance 2.0 at the turn of the year 2015\/2016.<\/p>\n<p>For Managing Director Norbert Lak\u00e4mper, this step is only logical after the company had already migrated its SAP ERP system (Rel. 6.0) to SAP on Hana at the end of 2013 and was one of the first companies worldwide to implement SAP Simple Finance 1.0 at the beginning of 2015.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"With the successful introduction of SAP S\/4 Hana Finance 2.0, we have once again come closer to our goals: to simplify our own IT landscape and consistently implement the digital transformation with SAP S\/4 Hana\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>says Lak\u00e4mper.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Within the SAP ecosystem, we are also committed to playing a pioneering role for our customers so that they can also draw on practical expertise for new SAP products.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Omni-channel<\/h3>\n<p>The Scheer companies support their customers in implementing the digital transformation. Scheer is now presenting products and solutions that make the complex world of e-commerce manageable across all customer touchpoints.<\/p>\n<p>Based on comprehensive process and technology expertise and over 15 years of experience in the e-commerce business, innovative business models are developed together with customers for the introduction and expansion of omni-channel commerce.<\/p>\n<p>Based on SAP Hybris, Fact-Finder and augmented reality applications, Scheer implements powerful and scalable e-commerce solutions.

KGS Software complements its KGS ScanClient with this solution, with which documents can be scanned and archived directly from the SAP GUI. This enables a uniform and central organization of scan solutions.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>SAP Contact Center from the cloud<\/h3>\n<p>Frings Informatic Solutions presents new features for the SAP Contact Center from the cloud. SAP Contact Center ECF (embedded communication framework), with which third-party applications can be quickly and easily integrated into SAP Contact Center on a widget basis.<\/p>\n<p>SAP Contact Center thus supports the temporary investment protection of applications that have not yet been consolidated into the SAP E2E landscape. SAP Contact Center now enables big data analysis and data mining on the basis of the SAP Business Intelligence Suite (SAP BI Suite).<\/p>\n<p>With SAP BO WebIntelligence, existing reports can be modified, used and shared. SAP BO Explorer, on the other hand, provides extensive options for analyzing, exploring, saving and sharing the data that SAP Contact Center collects.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Gold Partner<\/h3>\n<p>Realtime is now an SAP Gold Partner as part of SAP Germany's PartnerEdge program. At the same time, the SAP full-service provider is celebrating a company anniversary this year: Realtime has been successfully established on the SAP market for 30 years.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"2016 is a very special year for us\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>explains CEO Thomas H\u00fcbner.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"We are celebrating our company anniversary and now also our gold status as an SAP partner. Last but not least, this confirms the success of our maxim: we always advise our customers on the concrete but sustainable benefits. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Especially in times of digital transformation with buzzwords such as Industry 4.0, SAP S\/4 Hana and SAP Fiori, this is important for future-proof business decisions. We are therefore not only proud to look back on 30 years of SAP excellence - we are also looking forward to accompanying our customers in partnership through the coming, very exciting developments in the SAP market.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Universal connector<\/h3>\n<p>CTO Balzuweit presents a new product in its portfolio: Clarc iLink for SAP &amp; Documents enables SAP processes to be processed or workflows to be started in Easy Documents.<\/p>\n<p>Content can be synchronized automatically and interlinked very easily. An asset list integrated into SAP provides direct access to linked processes in Easy Documents. In the past, project- and cost-intensive individual interfaces were often required to implement data exchange.<\/p>\n<p>The CTO therefore decided to develop a universal solution platform for different business requirements that makes individual project developments superfluous. It enables the automatic creation and updating of content in documents related to an SAP process.<\/p>\n<p>For example, customer data that is managed in SAP as the leading system, but also needs to be available in Documents, can be synchronized and linked.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Cloud-based CRM<\/h3>\n<p>As an official SAP sales partner for C4C, FIS has been offering SAP users direct access to the cloud-based CRM solution in return for the corresponding license fees since the start of 2016. It is thus significantly expanding its existing solution portfolio once again. Dirk Schneider, Head of Sales of the Smart Products business unit at FIS GmbH:<\/p>\n<p><em>\"The trend towards cloud services and the associated mobile access to customer data and processes in the CRM area cannot be overlooked. There is no more suitable product for SAP customers than C4C. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With our new sales partnership, we are taking this fact into account and expanding our range of SAP solutions with an important component.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>SAP expertise<\/h3>\n<p>Gisa has once again proven and even extended its \"excellent\" partnership with SAP. In addition to the first-time certification as a \"Hana Operations Services Partner\", the requirements for certification as an \"Application Management Service Provider\" and for \"Cloud Services\" were also fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>For the second time, the company from Halle was awarded the \"excellent\" seal as an \"SAP hosting partner\". Gisa and ICS have also renewed their certification as a business process outsourcing partner.<\/p>\n<p>Only four companies in Germany and only 17 companies worldwide have so far demonstrated the necessary knowledge and skills and are entitled to use this unique selling point to advertise themselves in tenders.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Closed gap<\/h3>\n<p>Supplier drawings and other documents such as quality guidelines and general terms and conditions must be sent with many orders and inquiries. However, SAP does not automatically issue these documents for a material together with the purchase order.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, they have to be searched for manually and added to the order. The Techdocpro integration from Advanced Software GmbH closes this gap and makes order transactions from SAP considerably easier, faster and more secure.<\/p>\n<p>SAP users benefit from the elimination of previously necessary manual activities and the associated sources of error. At the same time, individual interventions and approval procedures remain possible despite the automated compilation of the order with drawings and documents.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>New location in Stuttgart<\/h3>\n<p>The SAP project house Prismat moved into its office in the heart of Stuttgart at the beginning of 2016. Over the past two years, Prismat has been able to attract both well-known customers and experienced employees from the region.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"We have been toying with the idea of opening a location in southern Germany for several years, but were unsure about the choice of location. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Our business performance in 2015 made the final decision very easy: Stuttgart is the ideal starting point for us to continue growing in southern Germany\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>summarizes Fin Geldmacher, Managing Director<br \/>\nat Prismat, together.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>SAP logistics for your pocket<\/h3>\n<p>The Munich-based software company Membrain has released an Android and iOS app for mobile data collection in logistics. The app is the smartphone version of the now standard applications for scanners and PDAs in the SAP environment.<\/p>\n<p>The apps can also be easily connected to SAP using the Membrain RTC server, just like the scanner applications, thus enabling mobile working. The functionalities include: WE\/WA booking, carrying out an inventory in SAP MM\/WM and processing TOs. As with the scanner applications, the option of offline use is also a highlight of the smartphone app.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>\nBTC strengthens its presence in Eastern Europe<\/h3>\n<p>Further internationalization and expansion are on the agenda for BTC Embedded Systems (BTC ES) in 2016. The subsidiary of BTC Business Technology Consulting AG, which focuses on embedded software systems, is mainly active in the automotive industry. BTC's embedded specialists have also been serving Japanese demand for 16 years.<\/p>\n<p>With the founding of the company in Romania, BTC ES is now also positioning itself in the emerging IT market of Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Information technology has great potential in Romania\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Udo Brockmeyer, CEO of BTC ES since 2005 and now also responsible for the new subsidiary, explains the decision.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"There are a lot of well-trained IT specialists there.
