Square Partners With SAP to embed Square payments in to SAP Business One

Square Partners With SAP (Read full article) "In Square Inc.'s (NYSE: SQ) second-quarter conference call, CEO Jack Dorsey promised that the company was constantly looking for ways it could "accelerate and deepen" its offerings to its customers. One of the ways the company has recently focused on in order to accomplish this goal is to embed its payment processing into existing business software platforms through partnerships. Earlier this quarter, Square partnered with Eventbrite, the popular live event-planning platform. 

More recently, Square announced another partnership, this time with SAP SE (NYSE: SAP), the German-based enterprise application software provider. Under the terms of the deal, announced on Square's corporate blog, Square's payment processing and financial services will now be integrated with SAP's Business One platform. SAP Business One is a software platform that provides small and medium-sized retailers with a variety of back-office business services, including accounting, project management, and human resources. With the integration of the two companies' services, businesses will now be able to view their sales and payment data with "one holistic view."

SAP Business One Overview (HANA Version)

SAP S/4 HANA – the numbers and the business case – diginomica

By Den Howlett (diginomica) - "So much has been said and written about SAP S/4 HANA it is almost passé as a topic of conversation. But there have been two consistent themes that have concerned/confused readers, analysts and customers: 

1. What do the numbers mean? 
2. How does the business case make sense? 

In SAP’s defense, the answers to both those questions have been available, they’ve just been hard to tease out in a coherent manner. So it was with that in mind that I was given the opportunity to discuss these points directly with Markus Schwartz, SVP and general manager, S/4 HANA.

Understanding what SAP solutions are provided to help manage your Supply Chain

SAP provides a myriad of solutions covering all aspects of the supply chain. In addition they often provide more than one solution to the same requirement.

In this blog I have collected the current suite of Supply Chain solution offerings from SAP and grouped them in to 3 categories:
