»We’ll be seeing a great deal of movement on the market in the coming years. The cloud, big data, apps, and mobility are permanently changing our customers’ businesses. As the Number 1 in the German-speaking SAP market and a full-service provider for IT and business, we want to play the entire orchestra and provide our customers with comprehensive support and services along their entire digital transformation journey.
