Finding The Right SAP Service Provider In China

Over the past two decades, the number of SAP customers in China has risen to more than 2,000. Many of the implementations in the first wave of SAP projects prior to 2005 failed due to a shortage of local SAP providers with industry expertise — but this is now changing. The SAP services market has grown over the past two to three years and a larger number of service providers offer a broader range of local competencies. The major IT challenge that fast-growing Chinese organizations face is the shift from legacy information systems to ones that are more flexible yet robust — and SAP remains a key enabler of this transition. This report provides an overview of the major SAP service providers in China that sourcing and vendor management professionals and other IT decision-makers can use to analyze SAP-related industry and service domain expertise and local delivery capabilities.
