Britehouse and SAP to bring SAP
S/4HANA Public Cloud to Africa
B
ritehouse, a division of Dimension
Data, has partnered with SAP
to become the largest adopter
of SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud in
Africa. As a Gold partner with a deep
understanding of the impact and the
value of the offering, Britehouse has
taken the bold step to implement
the new ERP suite across its global
applications business, with a full staff
complement of 1,500.
Having heavily invested in SAP S/4
HANA Public Cloud in its global
application business, Britehouse
will have firsthand experience with
migrating any business over to SAP S/4
HANA Public Cloud solutions, uniquely
positioning them to help their customers
make use of powerful cloud-based
solutions such as this.
Paolo Masselli, Britehouse CEO says:
“As a global strategic partner to SAP,
Britehouse is aligned with SAP to be
at the cutting-edge of hybrid systems,
using public cloud and on-premise
software solutions. The implementation
of SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud inside our
www.intelligentcio.com
own business has enabled us to build up
internal skills and expertise, and the first
reference site in Africa, which allows our
customers to benefit from the support
required for agile innovation.”
Christo Pieters, Britehouse Group
Executive, adds: “One of the
prerequisites for our Lighthouse
Partnership was that we go live with SAP
S4/HANA Public Cloud within our own
business, and we are very proud to be
the first SAP partner to do so.”
The new SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud
offering includes contextual analytics,
digital transformation capabilities,
machine learning, and the award-
winning SAP Fiori user experience. As
a full digital solution, SAP S/4 HANA
Public Cloud now enables companies
to run a live business, act on real time
insights, enjoy effortless scalability,
optimise management according
to best practices, and operate in an
environment of complete security. This
is what you would expect from a cloud
solution that both SAP and Britehouse
have put their brands behind.
These features of SAP S/4 HANA Public
Cloud are made possible through the
new design of in-memory accessibility
and the system’s ability to act as a
digital core, connecting your enterprise
with people, business networks, the
Internet of Things, big data, and more.
Britehouse has adopted SAP S/4 HANA
Public Cloud to assist and enable their
customers to run businesses that can
take immediate advantage of every
opportunity, and better position them to
carry out their digital transformation.
Benefits of using SAP S/4 HANA
Public Cloud include:
• Quicker implementation times
– by taking your digital journey
to the cloud with SAP S/4 HANA
Public Cloud, the project duration
is decreased, thereby reducing the
overall cost of the implementation.
• More support, less support costs –
implementing SAP S/4 HANA Public
Cloud includes more agile support,
like hosting solutions, box-level
support. Customers will be able to
focus on their business, rather than
