SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE and IBM Consulting are creating a joint Center of Excellence (CoE). This is the next milestone in the long-standing partnership of the two companies, which are developing the joint CoE to drive innovation and modernization in an efficient manner. At the heart of the collaboration is IBM's Rapid Move program, which helps companies to implement their SAP S/4HANA transformation.

The program is leveraging the SNP software platform CrystalBridge addressing the growing market of hybrid S/4HANA migrations. With the new CoE, IBM and SNP are creating a highly efficient and scalable "delivery engine" with global reach. Through IBM's Rapid Move program, more than 100 companies around the globe have already taken advantage of the partnership for their SAP transformation.

The foundation of the new competence center was celebrated on October 19, 2023, at the IBMInnovation Center for SAP Solutions in Walldorf, Germany. Co-Innovation with GenAI and finance in focus. IBM and SNP also collaborate on innovations, particularly in generative AI with IBM w Watsonx, to enhance efficiency in migration projects.

In addition, SNP and the IBM subsidiary TruQua are developing tailored solutions to introduce innovations in finance of global companies quickly and securely.
