SAP AG recently signed several agreements with Neusoft Group, one of China’s IT services and training companies. At a global level, SAP (News - Alert) concluded a master relationship agreement with Neusoft that will expand cooperation between the two organizations. SAP will also take a minority equity stake in the Neusoft Group.

SAP China, a subsidiary of SAP AG, has also signed a separate agreement with Neusoft under which Neusoft will expand its training offerings for SAP software in China.

These agreements will strengthen the relationship between the two companies, further extend training and solution offerings for SAP customers in China, and establish Neusoft as an important SAP training and development center in China.


Under the expanded relationship with SAP, Neusoft will launch a dedicated SAP practice, expand its SAP training program and its development of solutions based upon the SAP Best Practices family of software offerings. It will also evaluate and adopt SAP NetWeaver as a software development platform for selected enterprise applications.

Neusoft plans to more than triple its staff dedicated to SAP software and training over the next two years. The company will draw upon its deep university ties and nine dedicated training centers to train and certify a growing number of SAP customers, partners and independent consultants.

Neusoft will also expand its existing value-added reseller (VAR) partnership for mySAP All-in-One solutions in China, and will develop and distribute micro-vertical solutions built upon SAP Best Practices and designed for small and midsize enterprises in China’s manufacturing industries.

“China’s economic dynamism is encouraging companies here to look for new ways to improve performance and develop the agility they need to succeed in the world’s fastest-changing marketplace,” said Henning Kagermann, CEO, SAP AG in a press release. “This cooperation will bring together SAP’s technology and Neusoft’s nationwide network to offer China’s businesses better access to IT training and solutions that can enable them to stay competitive and seize global opportunities no matter where in the country they are located.”
