SAP has announced the in-country availability of SAP Fieldglass in Australia and New Zealand, allowing local customers to use the Vendor Management System (VMS) while meeting the data sovereignty requirements of the Australian and New Zealand governments.
Damien Bueno, President and Managing Director, SAP Australia and New Zealand said, “Customers in government and regulated industries, including banks and financial services, utilities, transport, and telecommunications, are under increasing pressure to meet demand for highly-skilled external workers and increase workforce agility, while at the same time experiencing heightened scrutiny of supply chain assurance.”
“The legislative environment and cyber considerations in both Australia and New Zealand require organisations of different sizes to think about the provision of their cloud services and technology. SAP Fieldglass is now available locally through, reinforcing our commitment to provide customers with the sovereignty, security, and confidence they need from their cloud products and services.”
SAP Fieldglass will initially be available to customers in the ANZ areas where Microsoft Azure is available.
“We’re delighted to have signed this agreement with SAP, to give more government agencies and highly regulated industries in Australia and New Zealand the confidence to migrate their systems to the cloud, knowing their data and IT platforms meet the highest global standards for governance and security. Accelerating cloud adoption also enables such organisations to innovate with more services that improve the experiences of their teams, customers and stakeholders,” said Microsoft ANZ Chief Partner Officer, Vanessa Sorenson.
