New Zealand-developed 3D visualisation software is set to provide a very different interface to SAP’s enterprise applications, after the German erp giant announced it has acquired developer Right Hemisphere.

SAP intends to revolutionise the navigation and interrogation of corporate data by introducing 3D visualisation

“Right Hemisphere technology empowers customers to visualise business processes from design to manufacturing through sales, operations and service, helping people to easily cooperate and communicate using the most powerful human sense — vision,” said Peter Maier, general manager and head of Line of Business Solutions, SAP AG.

“By bringing 3-D to the enterprise and enriching it with business data, we’re setting a new standard in helping companies achieve more efficiency, accuracy and flexibility across the value chain.”

The 3D software will be used to provide animated views of products and assets, as well as design collaboration, assembly instructions or up-to-date service procedures and manuals.
