OPPORTUNITIES IN EMERGING GEOGRAPHIC MARKETS

SAP continues to expand its presence in the world’s emerging markets, including Eastern Europe, Central America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. For example, SAP has more than 2,500 software installations and more than 800 customers in Greater China, including such prominent businesses as Lenovo, Haier, Sinopec, Cosco, China Telecom, and Shanghai Power.

To support those customers, SAP recently opened a new SAP Global Support Center (GSC) in Dalian, China. Staffed with native speakers in a number of languages, GSC China will become the primary hub for delivering services and support to SAP customers in Asia-Pacific countries including China, Japan, and Korea. Other GSCs are located in Ireland, Spain, Austria, and India.
