In 2001, SAP doubled its customer installations in Asia-Pacific to 6,200, adding the likes of Tata Iron and Steel Co Ltd in India, Korea's Halla Climate Control Corp, Hitachi Ltd in Japan, Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator and Jinbei GM Automotive in China, to its list of supply chain management (SCM) clients.
New clients for its mySAP.com Customer Relationship Management software include Jones Lang LaSalle in Australia, CLP Power in Hong Kong, Yodobashi Camera Co Ltd in Japan, San Miguel in the Philippines, Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator and FAW-Volkswagen in China, SAP said in a statement Thursday.
Having identified Asia-Pacific to be a "major growth area" for the company, SAP has transfered its UK/Ireland managing director, Hans-Peter Klaey, to Singapore.
Klaey will drive sales in Korea, India, Greater China and Asean as SAP Asia president, a newly-created position, said Les Hayman, SAP Asia-Pacific president and CEO in the statement.
On a global scale, sales from software licensing, consulting and training rose 17 percent year-on-year to 7.3 billion euros (US$6.4 billion).
Apart from its SCM and CRM offerings, new gains from its Product Lifecycle Management solutions include FuYu Manufacturing and Schneider Electric in Singapore; Yankuang Mining Group, Shanghai General Motors and Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator in China; CLP Power in Hong Kong; Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd and Delhi Metro Railways Corp in India; and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co Ltd.
Market research firm Gartner Inc expects SAP to generate more revenue from business application software licenses than any other vendor in the next three to four years.
