Siemens Business Services Launches Business Information Warehouse Implementation Service
Siemens Business Services LLC has announced that it has added SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) implementation to its broad range of SAP R/3 service offerings, making Siemens one of the world's most comprehensive providers of SAP R/3 implementation and outsourcing services. The new service is helping customers utilize their SAP R/3 solutions to their maximum potential by adding powerful business decision support capabilities.
Called Siemens Business Intelligence, the new service is designed to help organizations:
"Siemens was a test and evaluation partner of SAP Business Information Warehouse and participated in the SAP Early Customer Program," said Scott Prince, Siemens Business Services vice president of business development. "Combined with the breadth and experience that comes from a 25-year relationship with SAP, Siemens offers a high a level of experience to deploy and support R/3 data warehouse applications that deliver maximum value and benefits."
"This new service is an example of Siemens expanding on its very successful SAP outsourcing and implementation services, positioning the company as an even more valuable business partner for its customers. We earlier extended our value to customers by offering other services including supply chain management implementation," continued Prince.
Siemens has successfully completed SAP Business Information Warehouse implementations at five international companies, including Wacker Chemicals, headquartered in Germany, and the Austrian crystal company Swarovski. Additionally, the company is beginning Siemens Business Intelligence implementation projects at Siemens Power Generation, in Seattle, Washington.
"We are very satisfied with Siemens' excellent service and always up-to-date consultants", said Gunter Fleidl, project manager for the BW Competence Center at Wacker Chemicals. "We chose Siemens because of its global approach, which is essential for us as an international company. Moreover, the Siemens team impresssed us with their in-depth knowledge of all relevant areas of data warehousing. Siemens Business Services' competence is not limited to SAP software." Wacker Chemicals, with 16,000 employees worldwide, is one of the leading providers of dispersions and organic intermediates, silicones and advanced ceramic materials. Wacker participated in the SAP Early Customer Program and has recently founded a BW Competence Center to coordinate ongoing BW projects.
"With Siemens Business Services, we definitely chose the right company to get SAP BW up and running reliably and quickly," said Frank Wittrock, project manager at Swarovski, the world's leading manufacturer of cut crystal. "Siemens' profound experience with SAP offerings and other software products enabled the Siemens team to build BW on an Oracle database for us. That was a big challenge and they successfully mastered it. Also, the broad range of consulting, outsourcing and implementation services that Siemens is offering played a key role in our decision to rely on Siemens." Siemens is also the major hardware partner of Swarovski.
