Using the MarketSet(TM) solution, PricewaterhouseCoopers and SAPMarkets will work with clients to provide integrated solutions that drive benefits such as design, sourcing, procurement, planning, selling and analytics throughout the complete value chain.
SAPMarkets and PricewaterhouseCoopers are developing a demonstration platform based on the MarketSet solution that will offer clients practical solutions for integrating disparate technology systems. The improved ability to integrate both SAP and non-SAP technologies will enable clients to effectively link their enterprise systems to private and public exchanges, and accelerate connectivity with both partners and third parties.
Today companies are connecting to marketplaces with a broad assortment of software technology, said Mayur Shah, president of SAPMarkets. We are seeing increasing demand for our solutions because they offer a unique way of integrating with heterogeneous environments and provide a new breed of collaborative applications for a customer’s entire ecosystem.
Combining our strengths in systems integration, supply chain optimization and e-markets with SAPMarkets, we are able to demonstrate to clients the full benefits of the MarketSet solution, said David Duray, PricewaterhouseCoopers Management Consulting Services partner for Global SAP services. The ability to demonstrate the integration with various back-end execution systems and marketplace on-ramps helps reduce risks and adds a greater sense of confidence to the overall effort.
PricewaterhouseCoopers is a recognized leader in global business integration services with the ability to implement complex, fully integrated, end-to-end solutions for clients on a consistent basis. International Data Corp. (IDC) recently named PricewaterhouseCoopers the top services firm in the e-marketplace services space based on revenues. With core strengths in procurement, collaborative supply chain applications, marketplace technology and integration, PricewaterhouseCoopers is currently involved in more than 50 private e-hub/exchange initiatives globally.
With this global agreement, PricewaterhouseCoopers becomes the newest member of the SAPMarkets Partner Program and a Most Valuable Partner. This program is designed to provide participants with the technology, training and support they need to deliver services and solutions in close coordination with SAPMarkets. With the ultimate benefit coming to the customer, this program will develop lasting alliances that focus on building marketplace applications for a wide range of customer requirements, across multiple industries worldwide.
