SAP systems integrator SophLogic has been nominated for its contribution to economic development through innovative technology and creation of high-quality jobs in Manatee County, Fla.
Tampa, Fla. – August 12, 2008 – Florida-based SAP software, consulting and professional services company SophLogic Global LLC announced today its nomination for the Economic Development Council’s Industry Appreciation Awards. The company was nominated for its contribution to the region’s economic development through helping small and mid-sized organizations save hundreds of thousands of dollars and significantly increase productivity with value-added innovative SAP technology and professional services. In addition, the company’s recent growth has helped contribute to the creation of high-quality SAP jobs paying more than double the average Manatee County annual wage.
The Economic Development Council’s Industry Appreciation Awards seek to recognize value-added industries with 55 percent or more of its revenues coming from outside the Manatee Sarasota region, paying annual average wages equal to or above the County’s average annual wage of $32,845. SophLogic is nominated for the innovation category, a testament to the SAP technology and services it provides businesses looking to streamline and integrate their operations.
“Though we just released the SAP fast-start program in May, we are already seeing tremendous benefits for small and mid-sized organizations,” said SophLogic President Michael Bovaird. “This business management system brings a multi-million dollar ERP solution to the mid-market at a fraction of the cost and time to implement. With the benefits of streamlined operational efficiencies and increased productivity, now small and mid-size organizations can access many of the same competitive benefits that were previously only available to larger companies. The SAP technology and services we offer have helped small and mid-sized organizations realize hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings.”
SophLogic worked with SAP to develop the fast-start program now offered throughout Florida and the Southeast US. The software is an out-of-the-box, turnkey ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system for small and mid-sized companies in manufacturing, wholesale distribution and professional service industries. This ERP system is pre-configured around best practices for business management software and is based on a fixed price, fixed-scope implementation. SophLogic’s expertise in the target industries provides uniquely talented perspective in maximizing clients’ IT and ERP systems. The company provides not only the SAP software but all the elements required to maximize an SAP investment from systems integration and implementation to training, staffing, optimization and support.
Bovaird pointed out several granular examples of how the company’s SAP products and services have helped small and mid-sized organizations save hundreds of thousands of dollars by integrating their IT systems and business processes.
Winners and finalists in the Economic Development Council’s Industry Appreciation Awards will be recognized at a luncheon held on December 3rd from 11:30 to 1:30 at the Bradenton Municipal Auditorium. All finalists will be recognized in a Bradenton Herald special publication.
