Under the new agreement, the two companies said that they have established a go-to-market program that combines BearingPoint’s experience in helping clients across all industries address their most pressing business and technology challenges with SAP’s experience in business software. In addition, BearingPoint, an SAP services partner, is expected to offer services in support of ‘Office of the CFO’ in North America.

The companies added that they will focus on helping CFOs optimize the information value chain with stronger, integrated performance and risk management measures using SAP services for enterprise performance management and SAP services for governance, risk, and compliance (SAP services for GRC).

Additionally, the companies are expected to help chief information officers to implement SAP services for enterprise performance management and SAP services for GRC on top of a foundation of comprehensive, accurate enterprise data using the SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management component of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform.

Brian Snarzyk, executive vice president of global solutions for BearingPoint, said: This announcement underscores BearingPoint’s commitment to help businesses harness the power of technology to drive performance and deliver meaningful, measurable results. We’re in tune with the ‘stay awake’ issues of executives and decision makers. Through this initiative, we’ll be offering horizontal and vertical tailored, scalable SAP solutions and approaches to address tough business challenges.
