Think180, a SAP silver partner headquartered in Australia, has signed a Silver Partnership deal with SNP Transformations SEA to license and distribute SAP software in the strategic and fastest-growing Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

The alliance combines the business-focused expertise of Think180's SAP specialisation with SNP's software-centric data transformation platform CrystalBridge and selective data migration approach SNP BLUEFIELD, that flexibly combines the best of greenfield (new implementation) and brownfield (system conversion) approaches, according to the company.

Think180 states the alliance will offer a repeatable factory tactic for accelerated SAP transformation in business-critical scenarios such as SAP S/4HANA, cloud migrations, mergers and acquisitions, carve-outs, interface discovery or operational transfer pricing amongst others.

The packaged solution, bundled with a single end-to-end software plus service, is designed to reduce enterprises' total cost of ownership and offer a faster return on investment (ROI) on their projects in the region.

On the announcement, Think180 Australia CEO and director John Schultz says, “Think180 is excited to join forces with SNP's automated software-based approach, taking our SAP business enablement expertise to the next level in the Asia Pacific region."

Schultz says, "Think180 has a long history of delivering SAP solutions that transform clients' business processes, drive new thinking, and use the latest technologies."

On the benefits for clients, he says, "Think180's partnership with SNP provides valued clients with a new dimension of fast, secure, and low-risk, standardised SAP transformations, targeting the small and medium-sized enterprises segment, apart from SAP's general business and large enterprise segment in the region.

"With a full visualisation of the entire SAP ERP system and flexible simulation of various SAP transformation scenarios through CrystalBridge, Think180 will be able to offer selective data and process optimisations and simultaneously combine multiple projects into a single go-live, thus ensuring faster ROI with minimal business disruption.

SNP Transformation SEA managing director and CEO Asia Pacific and Middle East Gerald Faust says, “SNP's strategic focus on the promising and fastest-growing APAC region in SAP transformations is reinforced with its partnership with Think180 Australia‘s proficiency in delivering clients business-focused SAP solutions.

"Driven by the two companies' synergies for innovative, software-centric SAP transformations, SNP's factory approach offers a simple, predictable, and reliable package designed to map diverse scenarios even with varying complexities.

"With SNP's well-established, successful competency in delivering several end-to-end SAP landscape transformation projects, such as S/4HANA, cloud migration, merger and carve-out in the APAC region, with speed, agility, minimum downtime, reduced risk and costs, SNP is excited to work with Think180 for our clients on their journey to become an intelligent enterprise.
