SAP (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Pragma Group has selected SAP solutions to streamline its diverse business interests and manage the company’s fast-track growth.
Working with the group’s technology arm LS2, an end-to-end solutions provider and authorized partner of SAP, Pragma has begun implementing SAP’s flagship ‘All in One solution’, the Middle East baseline of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that caters to small and medium sized enterprises (SME’s).
The three-phase project has begun with a dedicated team at LS2 integrating the company’s core corporate functions under a centralized SAP platform, followed by the consolidation of the CRM systems of all companies operating under the group’s umbrella.
Looking beyond the group’s immediate needs, Pragma believes that SAP solutions are best suited to meet its strategic goals as it launches into Venture Capital, which will require the sophistication of SAP’s solutions to handle comprehensive project management and evaluation.
“As Pragma enters an important period in the company’s development and expands into new verticals, SAP will provide us with a solid foundation to enhance our competitiveness and take us to the next level of growth,” said Mr. Joe Tabet, Chairman of Pragma Group.
Leveraging key functionalities of ‘All-in-One’, a highly-skilled team of SAP-certified consultants at LS2 are taking the base product and offering cost-effective, industry-specific support across each business based on best practices and processes provided by SAP.
“SAP’s experience and expertise working with diversified groups has allowed us to develop solutions that are highly scalable and flexible, providing each vertical with a platform from which to gain efficiency and grow the entire business more profitably,” said Mr. Sergio Maccotta, Managing Director of SAP MENA. “As Pragma Group prepares for fast-track growth, SAP is delighted to support them with the right tools for business excellence.”
Pragma Group International is a diversified lifestyle and management group, with focus on 4 verticals including Technology, Marketing & Media, Lifestyle, and Venture Capital.
