Interactive Online Tool Configures Enfinity’s Solution Blueprint and Outputs Instant Cost Estimates of SAP® Business All-in-One Solutions

 

ZAVENTEM, Belgium, March 30, 2009 -

OASIS CONSULTANTS today announces the successful go-live of its SAP® Business All-in-One solution at Enfinity. The company with headquarters in Waregem develops, finances, manages, and technically realizes renewable solar and wind energy projects.

Enfinity was founded by Gino Van Neer, Patrick Decuyper and business angel Marc De Waele. It has developed projects in Europe and is expanding and opening offices in several countries in Europe, the US and Asia. Enfinity has a presence in 12 countries and a growing workforce (currently 110 FTE) of highly qualified and experienced people. In 2008 Enfinity realized a turnover of € 83 million. In February 2009 the renewable energy project developer received a € 50 million capital investment from Waterland Private Equity Investments to accelerate its growth.

In order to support the growth it anticipated Enfinity identified the need for well defined, streamlined and integrated processes. It selected SAP over MS Dynamics and chose OASIS CONSULTANTS as its trusted implementation partner. A letter of intent was signed in July 2008 between the two companies. The ERP project kicked off by mid of August 2008 to go live only 4½ months later on January 1, 2009. CRM and BI followed shortly after.
 

“As a new and growing company, we knew we needed an ERP solution, but because we were young and operating in new territory, our business IT requirements were not fully determined upfront,” said Paul Minjauw, CFO of Enfinity. “The solution configurator from SAP gave us the comfort to navigate through the SAP Business All-in-One solutions with ease, and because of the configurator’s vast amount of information, we were able to document our needs and receive a listing of recommended business scenarios. We ended up purchasing the majority of the scenarios recommended by OASIS CONSULTANTS because they mapped directly to our needs. In the end, with confidence, we were able to speed up our solution selection process, and we would recommend this to other midsize companies.”

The solution configurator has proven to be successful and is widely used by midsize companies in manufacturing, services, and trade industries in Belgium. In four easy steps, a company can input its industry-specific enterprise resource planning (ERP) needs, resulting in a solution blueprint and cost estimate that includes costs for software licenses, implementation services, and hardware components optimized to run SAP Business All-in-One.

Look into the near future…

Through the introduction of a CRM solution configurator, SAP and OASIS CONSULTANTS will provide midsize companies with an easy method to evaluate their CRM needs and receive a cost estimate immediately. The configurator is already live in Germany and will be made available throughout 2009 in Belgium. Providing a configurator to easily configure a prospective customer’s CRM needs is just another step that SAP and OASIS CONSULTANTS are taking to accommodate the demand from its midsize customers to have a strong customer relations offering at a very affordable price. Functionality from the SAP® CRM application has been integrated into all of the SAP Business All-in-One solutions of OASIS CONSULTANTS. SAP Business All-in-One customers just like Enfinty are selecting this CRM functionality to focus on their customers, drive their business for growth, and enhance their competitiveness.
