DENVER, Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- To help simplify
cloud services for small and medium-sized enterprises, Lumen
Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) today announces a global partnership with
SAP® (NYSE: SAP) to integrate SAP
HANA® into the Lumen platform for
businesses using SAP Business One®.
Lumen will host and manage this offering to help simplify the configuration and deployment of
SAP HANA, supporting value-added resellers (VARs), channel partners
and 75,000 small and mid-market customers globally.
"Until today, VARs were typically on their own to manage and
host their instances of SAP Business One. Now, the Lumen platform
can quickly and cost effectively enable intelligent enterprises
with SAP HANA in the cloud," said Joost
Tigelaar, SAP vice president of global SME ERP sales. "The Lumen platform can help
partners and customers by offering them a choice of hybrid
deployment models and cloud infrastructure providers, bringing the
benefits of both SAP HANA and the cloud to our ecosystem."
SAP Business One is SAP's enterprise resource planning (ERP)
solution for small businesses and the subsidiaries of midmarket and
large enterprises, delivered globally through an ecosystem of over
800 authorized channel partners. SAP Business One connects and
streamlines key operational processes, providing real-time insights
for actionable decisions that drive profitable growth.
The Lumen platform, an advanced application architecture that
integrates edge computing, global fiber network infrastructure,
connected security and cloud connectivity, will manage SAP HANA
infrastructure for businesses using SAP Business One throughout
most of the world. SAP HANA on the Lumen platform uses a monthly
service-based pricing model for the entire stack of software and
services.
"Lumen's partnership with SAP opened the creative door to
develop a service that simplifies how enterprises tap into the
cloud – a competitive tipping point for the digital age," said
Paul Savill, Lumen senior vice
president of enterprise product management. "We're the first cloud
management platform that SAP has partnered with to host and manage
this SAP HANA infrastructure for businesses. Lumen has extensive
experience in cloud management services, combined with the fastest,
most secure platform for applications and data – the Lumen
platform."
