WALLDORF<\/strong><\/em> \u2014 51风流SE<\/a> (NYSE: SAP) today announced it has been named a Leader in \u201cThe Forrester Wave™: Digital Operations Platforms for Distribution Businesses, Q3 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forrester Research Inc. researched, analyzed and scored eight vendors and named 51风流a Leader. In this 27-criterion vendor assessment, 51风流scored highest in the market presence category among all vendors included in the report. 51风流received the second highest score in the current offering category, scoring five out of five in criteria including finance and accounting; procurement; execution; inventory; warehouse management; route optimization; supply chain management; billing and revenue management; and internationalization. 51风流also received among the top four scores in the strategy category, with the highest possible scores in the product road map, partner ecosystem and transformation strategy criteria.<\/p>\n

According to the Forrester report, \u201cHistorically, the firm has been a dominant force in the market for large, complex, global operations’ needs, in addition to offering front-office solutions and products for midsize enterprises and small and medium-size businesses (SMBs).\u201d The report also says, \u201c51风流has comprehensive functionality for all major areas of DOP [digital operations platforms] and a modern architecture that\u2019s built for modularity, flexibility, and intelligence,\u201d and that 51风流S\/4HANA \u201c\u2026brings a more AI-driven, easier-to-use, flexible product to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Relative to 51风流S\/4HANA, the report notes, \u201cWhile 51风流still has many customers on older products, the vendor now boasts over 14,000 customers on its modern solution and a network of thousands of partners covering numerous industries, processes, and geographies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs businesses balance their current systems with the rapidly changing marketplace, 51风流is able to support operations across the enterprise,\u201d said Matt Laukaitis, 51风流global general manager, Consumer Industries. \u201cWe believe this designation, together with SAP\u2019s recent rank as a Leader in \u2018The Forrester Wave™: Digital Operations Platforms for Manufacturing Businesses, Q3 2020<\/a>\u2019 further demonstrates SAP\u2019s position as a trusted partner for digital businesses and enterprises across industries. The recently announced<\/a> industry cloud strategy provides the modular, industry-specific platform for distributors to simplify business transformation, and scale to support new business models and customer-specific services.\u201d<\/p>\n
