Sapphire to Supply Total Global Solutions with SAP Business One

Total Global Solutions to implement SAP Business One to help streamline business operations and improve competitiveness.

(PRWEB) August 26, 2005 -- Sapphire today announced that it is to supply Total Global Solutions with SAP Business One to streamline business operations and improve competitiveness.

Total Global Solutions offer a range of broadcasting equipment and services - from single plasma television screens to kitting and installing entire broadcast television centers. They operate in a predominately commoditized marketplace where aggressive pricing is the norm. William Capon, Total Globals Managing Director comments in this industry, the internet search engine is king. Customers can source products from anywhere in the world - meaning that companies offering a quick service, with an advantageous pricing structure, have the edge in winning business."

To help Total Global compete in this marketplace, William intends to implement SAP Business One. William says our top priority was to have a single system that offers integrated functionality to run our entire business operation. This will allow us to offer a more responsive, competitive service to our customers, reduce our processing cycle -- and ensure that the need integrate disparate systems will never become an issue."

William continues We selected SAP Business One as it was the only system we reviewed that offered an integrated capability on one single licensing structure. The other solutions we looked at would require us to pick and integrate separate modules - which we felt would lengthen the implementation cycle and complexity -- and ultimately make it more onerous to manage in the longer term."

William also believes that using a solution from the SAP stable will offer other benefits Total Global Solutions operates in a marketplace where technological innovation and advancement is commonplace. SAPs billion dollar research and development program gave us added confidence that SAP Business One will set the standard for small and medium enterprise (SME) applications for many years to come - and will give us an edge when competing in an increasingly tough environment."
William chose Sapphire Systems -- the UKs leading supplier of SAP Business One -- to supply and support the solution. William says Unlike the other suppliers that we reviewed, Sapphire took the time to fully understand the needs of our business and to demonstrate how SAP Business One could help manage these processes."
Ian Caswell, Managing Director of Sapphire concludes We are delighted to welcome Total Global Office as a customer. Like many of our clients, Total Global operates in a highly competitive marketplace. Experience tells us that SAP Business One fits this business model very well and we are confident that SAP Business One will make a major contribution to helping them grow their business".
