TechCentral - SAP aims for a billion users worldwide
KUALA LUMPUR: Enterprise software giant SAP AG wants to enlarge its worldwide user base about 30-fold by 2014.
V.R. Srivatson, managing director of SAP Malaysia, said the company has 34 million users (in 27,000 companies) globally and aims to have a billion users by that time.
The German company could not provide Malaysia-specific figures.
SAP believes that offering on-demand services via cloud computing will help with its goal.
"Traditionally, we have always been on premises and hosted our applications on servers at client sites but now we are offering software on-demand as well," Srivatson said.
He also noted that many enterprise applications will be created to include access via the mobile phone.
"More and more workflow processes will be brought onto the phone and other mobile devices," he said. "Leave applications, expense claims and other approvals will soon be done via cellphones."
SAP believes this will contribute to its growth because it makes it easier for company employees to work more efficiently.
Srivatson was speaking during the Kuala Lumpur leg of the SAP World Tour 2010. The event is aimed at offering networking opportunities and thought leadership keynotes, as well as focused product presentations and demonstrations.
