Localization Portfolio
It's Time to do Better =Brazil and the Localization of SAP Solutions
For a very long time now, SAP has been offering
products tailored to the specific requirements of
Brazil.
Ever since the first 3.0 version of the R/3, which
was localized in 1996, not only the scope of ERP’s
localization has been continuously enhanced
and updated, but also the Brazilian version of the
portfolio of SAP’s industry-specific products and
solutions has increased significantly over time.
Currently, besides the “Classic” ERP
components such as FI, MM, SD, HR and CO,
there are several generic solutions available, for
example CRM and SRM, as well as a growing
number of industry-specific solutions, which we
present in this brochure.ABOUT THE COMPLEXITY OF
