April 23, 2015 | SAP - In-Memory Computing

Journey Will Begin with SAP® Simple Finance Solution to Deliver the Power of SAP HANA® to Financial Operations

TOKYO - SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Net One Systems Co., Ltd. has launched a project to deploy SAP® Business Suite 4 SAP HANA® (SAP S/4HANA), the next-generation business suite from SAP, to further improve productivity and manage operations in real time. As a first step in this new journey, the company intends to use the SAP Simple Finance solution to transform finance with instant insight and contribute to expanded business performance.

Net One Systems, a Japanese company that provides innovative information platform solutions and services to help organizations better strategize information and communications technology, is currently expanding its business to design, build and operate network and cloud based infrastructures.

To achieve this goal, Net One Systems plans to migrate its existing SAP ERP application to SAP S/4HANA and also benefit from the SAP Fiori® user experience (UX), optimized for various devices to help simplify input operations and reduce the load of sales tasks.

"We have a long-term commitment to SAP and SAP HANA, so it was a natural decision for us to move to the new suite, SAP S/4HANA," said Yuichiro Sugiyama, managing director of Corporate Planning & Strategy Division, Net One Systems. "By obtaining the cooperative support of SAP Service and Support, we were able to approve the startup of this project with confidence in a short-term project schedule."

As an expert in information and communications technology (ICT) utilization, Net One Systems will advance with the project utilizing the virtualization technology and knowledge it has cultivated thus far to build ICT infrastructures.

"As companies face increasing complexity in their financial departments, real-time finance processes end-to-end is critical for planning and agility," said Thack Brown, general manager and global head of Line-of-Business Finance at SAP. "With SAP Simple Finance, SAP customers can harness their raw financial and operational data in simple, digestible format, allowing for better control over monetary operations and close alignment with the business."
