Our Partnership with SAP

One of the signs of a good partnership is that it is mutually beneficial. Ideally, this should increasingly be the case the longer and more closely the partners work together. Our partnership with SAP AG, which we entered into in 2001 and which is built around software and cooperation, is the best example of this.

The iBS Competence Center

Focusing on your core competencies and your own strategic alignment is the one side of the coin – being able to depend on the abilities of a reliable partner is the other. When it comes to solutions developed for SAP for Banking, SAP AG is happy to trust in iBS experts.

Thanks to our outstanding professional expertise and many years' experience, we can quickly realize the standard solutions commissioned by SAP. In doing so, our competence center works closely with SAP teams at the company's headquarters in Walldorf, Germany, not only to design and develop the product but also to ensure that it is maintained adequately further down the line.

We have developed the following solutions on behalf of SAP:

• SAP Reserve for Bad Debts
• SAP Regulatory Reporting Analyzer by iBS
• SAP Capital Yield Tax Management

Being Close Gives Us the Edge

Both sides have recognized the benefits of a close partnership – and are building on these benefits by furthering the level of collaboration.

Specifically, this includes aspects relating to market development and including iBS solutions in SAP's release planning. Advance knowledge of changes in the SAP software environment and access to new technologies are further evidence of our special partner status at SAP AG.

Ultimately, these factors provide us with a basis on which to develop successful products:

• Ability to meet market requirements rapidly thanks to our superior knowledge
• Near-instantaneous integration of technological innovations when creating products
• iBS solutions are perfectly attuned to the current and future SAP environment
