SAP Hires Head of New Business Unit Focused on SMEs
SAP Hires Head of New Business Unit Focused on SMEs: "Currently, 31 percent of SAP's order entries come from the SME market, according to Klaey. His goal is to increase that to 40 to 45 percent to reach SAP's 100,000 mark.
Klaey, based at the company's Walldorf, Germany headquarters, is currently the president and CEO of SAP Asia Pacific, a job he's held since 2002. Prior to that, the Swiss native was the managing director of SAP U.K. Limited, overseeing operations in the U.K., Ireland and Africa.
The goal for Klaey moving forward—he assumes his new role Jan. 1, 2007—is to give the SME business a much greater focus by pulling all of SAP's global and regional resources together. "
