EY announced today it is extending its SAP-related services through the opening of the EY Experience Center for SAP services in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Center is designed to support clients' efforts to implement SAP S/4 HANA, SAP's next generation business suite built on the advanced in-memory SAP HANA, by leveraging technologies such as SAP HANA Cloud Platform and SAP Fiori.

"EY can now help clients accelerate and streamline the process of innovation through the EY Experience Center for SAP. The Center will act as a central hub and customer demonstration center focused on addressing industry and client-specific issues leveraging SAP S/4 HANA," said Michael Yadgar, Principal, Ernst & Young LLP, and EY Americas leader for SAP services. 

The EY Experience Center for SAP will help clients:

• Extend the applications that interact with SAP S/4 HANA, using the SAP HANA Cloud Platform

• Implement add-on extensions to SAP solutions, based on the deep industry experience of both EY and SAP

• Create industry digital solution maps enabled by SAP S/4 HANA

• Increase enterprise adoption by incorporating SAP solutions such as SAP Fiori

"The Experience Center at Alpharetta will be an integral part of EY's efforts to move enterprises into a digital-first mentality while leveraging current investments," said Mark Chester, Executive Director, Ernst & Young LLP, SAP Chief Technology Officer and the director of the Center. "With this new EY Experience Center for SAP services, our clients will be able to work alongside EY to architect SAP HANA Cloud Platform solutions focused on industry differentiation and enabling a digital enterprise."

"The decision to open the Center in Alpharetta was an obvious choice to quickly expand our services around SAP solutions," said Yadgar. "Over 1,300 EY professionals there provide SAP-related services and the expansion of our capabilities, specifically around SAP HANA Cloud Platform, builds upon that strong base of talent."
