SAP Wins Super Sailmakers as 20,000th SAP Business One Customer Small Companies Segment Growing at Accelerated Pace

WALLDORF, Germany and SAN DIEGO, Calif. - July 15, 2008 - SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) tod ay announced the 20,000th customer for SAP Business One, its integrated business management application for small businesses, proving the rapid market adoption r ate of the application, for which SAP has been able to double its customer base in less than two years. The announcement was made at the SAP Summer Sales Meetin g, SAP Americas annual field conference attended by more than 2,500 partners and SAP employees, being held in San Diego, California from July 14 16. Super Sailmakers, a one-stop shop for all sail needs founded in 1973 and based i n Fort Lauderdale, Florida, selected SAP Business One to support all core areas of its fast-growing and increasingly international business. It took only one pr oduct demonstration from SAP partner Netsirk to convince the company to replace its legacy system, and only 30 days to turn the decision into business value. No w, SAP Business One, together with the complementary e-commerce solution Netsirk Credit Card Processing by SAP partner Netsirk and Third Wave Ship Link by SAP p artner Third Wave Business Systems, form the one-stop business solution for Supe r Sailmakers. Of Super Sailmakers 15 employees, eight work with the integrated bu siness management application to run the entire business, from closing deals, pr oducing and shipping products to customers and resellers on time, managing the f inancials, tracking production, expanding the relationships with the business ne twork, to delivering various services. Super Sailmakers was honored today by Glenn Wada, senior vice president and gene ral manager, SME, SAP America Inc., who welcomed the company to the growing comm unity of small businesses that run on SAP solutions. We are considered a small company, but as such our business is highly diversified and shows high growth rates, which makes it hard to find a suitable software so lution, said Bob Meagher III, vice president, Super Sailmakers. With multiple loca tions selling directly to sailors, boat dealers and manufacturers in the United States, Caribbean and Europe, we needed to consolidate our management and operat ions in a single platform, integrating our high-end services to large cruising y achts with our unique requirements as a sailmaker for smaller boats. SAP wasn t re ally on our minds, but SAP Business One, combined with the knowledgeable solutio ns and customer-focused record of Netsirk, clearly addressed our unique business needs best and met our expectations for ease-of-use, flexibility and affordabil ity.
