SAP - Press Release
SAP - Press Release: "SAP America, Inc., a subsidiary of SAP AG (NYSE: SAP), today announced that Southco, a privately held, global provider of engineered access hardware solutions and applications for a broad spectrum of industries, has selected SAP to enable its lean manufacturing strategy and allow it to compete with agility as it expands global operations. Southco chose SAP over Oracle after an extensive evaluation process which included visits to customer sites in China, Hong Kong, the United States and the United Kingdom, based on SAP�s stability as industry leader, superior capabilities for managing end-to-end business processes such as order to cash, and ability to support global operations in emerging markets.
With rapidly expanding global operations and customers in the marine, automotive, truck, off-highway/construction, RV/caravan, consumer electronics, computer hardware, and industrial enclosures industries, Southco manages more than 100,000 stock keeping units (SKUs) for 70,000 customers in 65 countries. The company sought an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution to support its lean six sigma initiatives, increase managerial visibility and maintain responsiveness as it competes against smaller local and regional providers across the world."
