SAP Rapid Deployment solutions were initially offered only in North America and German-speaking countries and included offerings for sales, service, marketing, business portfolio management and supplier relationship management.
In a statement SAP said it will continue to introduce affordable, fixed-scope solutions to address our customers' critical business needs.
Among the new offerings are SAP BusinessObjects Spend Performance Management and Sales and Operations Planning, Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence, Portfolio and Project Management, Master Data Management, Sybase Mobile Sales for SAP CRM, Supply Network Collaboration, Extended Warehouse Management and the SAP ERP rapid-deployment solution for the employee and manager portal.
