Enterprise Wide-smartShift Alliance Targets Smoother SAP S/4HANA Transitions
Australian-based SAP solutions provider Enterprise Wide has formed a strategic partnership with smartShift, a US specialist in AI-led SAP transformation, in a plan to empower Australian and New Zealand businesses to expedite and de-risk their transition to S/4HANA.
Sydney-based Enterprise Wide lists Woolworths, Harvey Norman, The Reject Shop, Spotlight, Laminex and Foodstuffs South Island (NZ) among its clientele. Founded in 2015, it is an SAP retail partner providing clients with tailored transformation solutions and measurable results.
smartShift, a Boston-based company that has worked with the likes of IBM, Procter & Gamble, Nilfisk and Enercon, as well as Woolworths Group in Australia and Foodstuffs South Island in NZ, is focused on harnessing AI-driven solutions to cut the time and complexity of analysing, modifying and de-risking SAP custom code as clients transition to S/4HANA.
In a jointly issued media release, the two companies said their partnership comes at a crucial time as ANZ organisations scramble to utilise automation tools to power their S/4HANA transformations.
"We are excited to join forces with smartShift to bring our industry-leading SAP solutions to the market,” said Steven Pozzan, Managing Partner at Enterprise Wide. “Our commitment is to support organisations in their journey towards S/4HANA, ensuring a seamless and optimised transition."
smartShift’s Chief Customer Officer, Arndt Hoffmann, added: “Our recent S/4HANA project wins with Foodstuffs South Island in New Zealand and Woolworths Group in Australia underscore our dedication to the ANZ market.
“The partnership with Enterprise Wide solidifies our commitment to delivering best-of-breed automation solutions for customers in ANZ aiming to accelerate and de-risk their journey to S/4HANA and beyond.”
The move to align with Enterprise Wide is the latest in a series of strategic relationships undertaken by smartShift, which in 2021 announced an alliance with Syniti and Natuvion to offer automation-led implementation capabilities to help businesses accelerate and simplify their move to SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
