SAP Solutions in Central and Eastern Europe Pick Up Steam

At the end of November 2011, SAP AG, a leader in business management solutions, software, and services, announced a significant NearShore expansion. The company plans to fundamentally boost its Romanian operation (with an organic growth up to 400 consultants by 2014) and improve its consultancy services to customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Director of the SAP NearShore Center Romania, Gheorghe Olteanu, reasoned such heavy investment plans by the “scalability, good universities and language advantages” of the CEE region. “Moreover, Romania is the third largest country in Europe and part of the European Union. Of course, the lower level of salaries in Romania compared to the Western market that we are serving is also advantageous for us. The salary a consultant starts on is at least twice the average salary in Romania,” added Gheorghe Olteanu.

The SAP NearShore Center is planned as a comprehensive facility with highly professional SAP consultants and developers on board capable of performing most complex engineering activities. The center primarily targets support of customers in Western Europe and better project delivery in such countries as Austria, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. SAP solutions in Eastern Europe enjoy a high reputation worldwide due to immanent high quality implementation and high standards of delivery.
