NSW Trade & Investment has selected SAP cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions undera three-year, $A14.5 million agreement.

SAP will deliver a range of cloud solutions that includes SAP Business ByDesign, SAP Payroll, and cloud consulting services.

NSW Trade & Investment expects to deliver savings of more than $A12.5 million annually by enabling greater efficiencies across the entire organisation.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Trade & Investment Andrew Stoner said, “By consolidating the department’s ERP systems onto a single cloud-based platform, we can now focus more of our energies on building investment and jobs, and generating a positive business environment for the State of NSW.”

This is SAP’s largest SAP Business ByDesign win, and the first cloud platform win in the  Australian public sector.

The project will involve the transition and consolidation of NSW Trade & Investment’s legacy ERP system including 16 agencies – totalling over 8,500 employees - onto a single, consolidated SAP cloud platform.
