RPC Data Limited Becomes SAP Channel Partner

RPC Data Limited today announced it has become an SAP channel partner authorised to resell the SAP® Business All-in-One solutions to Mid to Enterprise companies in Botswana. SAP Business All-in-One is a comprehensive, proven solution with preconfigured, industry-specific business processes to enable predictable and affordable implementations. Optimised for mid- to enterprise-sized companies, SAP Business All-in-One has the flexibility to adapt and extend as a business evolves and grows.

With its designation as an authorised SAP channel partner, RPC Data Limited now provides a complete solution that encompasses all facets required for successful implementation, including SAP Business All-in-One software licensing, implementation services, training and documentation, staffing and optimisation and support.

“We are very excited about this partnership with SAP not just because of its towering market presence in the world as the largest enterprise software company, but also because of SAP’s proven commitment to African markets. RPC’s strategy has always been to provide its customers with the best solutions befitting their requirements and business objectives. SAP All in One not only provides one of the best solutions in the Tier 1 ERP market, but also, enables RPC to advise its customers on the various industry footprints that SAP has, which RPC could not propose until now. In other words it falls in line with RPC’s long term strategy of being more customer-centric than product-centric‖ said Komal Rao, Managing Director, RPC Data Limited.

RPC Data Limited intends to broaden its services for SAP solutions by offering the SAP Business All-in-One solutions to Mid to Enterprise companies in a variety of industries including government and public sector, telecommunications, utilities, financial institutions (both banking and non-Banking), production and manufacturing.

RPC Data’s experience in Botswana makes them an ideal partner to strengthen our presence in these geographies. Our intention is to leverage RPC Data’s successful ERP project experience in these regions to expand SAP’s customer base. Together we will deliver comprehensive enterprise wide solutions to these markets and more importantly provide them with the necessary local support‖, said Pfungwa Serima, Managing Director – SAP Africa.

To enable the optimum delivery of SAP All-in-One to the market, RPC Data has also partnered with Twenty Third Century Systems (TTCS), an SAP Gold Partner, who will work with RPC Data in selling and implementing SAP products in Botswana. RPC Data will provide the necessary logistics and intelligence support to the pre-sales consulting experts from TTCS.

We are very excited to partner and collaborate with RPC Data in Botswana. This partnership fits in very well with our vision and strategy of building partnerships and synergies across the African continent. We believe that this is the time to build strong African businesses with a global reach. Such strong business can only be built if we collaborate and work with local ICT companies in the respective African markets such as RPC Data. So this collaboration with RPC Data provides us with a unique opportunity to strengthen our Pan African vision and also offers RPC Data access to the other African markets where we are present,‖ said Ellman Chanakira, CEO – TTCS.
