Sapient has launched a new line of business and IT services aimed at customers with large SAP enterprise software installations who are eager to implement business intelligence (BI) strategies across their organisations.

"With SAP beginning to open its platform to the public, systems integrators with a single threaded SAP delivery focus will no longer be able to solve the holistic problems of typical clients. Nor will large-scale integrators with multi-practice ERP implementation and outsourcing disciplines be able to translate the need for better analytics into concrete technology solutions," said Sapient Vice President and Global SAP Practice lead Hagen Ruff. "Our new BI services can assist all SAP customers, no matter what stage of the BI application lifecycle they’re currently in—planning, implementation or management. Customers can improve enterprise-wide decision making, enhance business and IT efficiencies and become more operationally transparent, making compliance an easier task."

Sapient’s BI services include four disciplines: business performance management, information management, data lifecycle management and governance. tric quality assurance services.
