Through the acquisition of ITPC, we are further expanding our capabilities for SAP in the cloud, in line with SoftwareONE’s growth ambitions in this area.”
“SAP in the cloud is a rapidly growing business for SoftwareONE as we see increasing demand from customers globally. With ITPC joining SoftwareONE, we continue to expand SoftwareONE’s capacity in order to provide customers with comprehensive solutions and services for their SAP journey to the cloud and S/4Hana adoption,” according to Daniel DaVinci, global owner of SoftwareONE’s SAP services business.
Vincenzo Boesch, CEO of ITPC, said “Increased cloud adoption made the last year the most successful in ITPC’s history and today we are moving one step ahead. We are very excited about joining SoftwareONE, which offers great opportunities for the company and our employees. Our existing customers will benefit from additional expertise and a broader portfolio of solutions and services. Together, we will continue empowering customers to move their SAP ERP systems to the public cloud and guarantee high reliability and performance of their SAP infrastructure.”
