TOKYO, JAPAN – March 17, 2009 – ABeam Consulting, a global provider of operational consulting services, announced today that it has received the SAP Award of Excellence for the twelfth consecutive year. Presented by SAP Japan, the award recognizes partners that have exemplified SAP’s high standards for excellence, and is based on customer satisfaction ratings. The award was presented by Garrett Ilg, Representative Director, President and CEO of SAP Japan to ABeam’s General Manager, Manufacturing/Consumer Business, Akio Suzuki.
ABeam was recognized in the following categories:
Service Partner: The Service Partner award is granted based on independent customer satisfaction survey results. ABeam has won this honor each of the last 12 years, since the award’s inception in 1998.
Project Award: SAP’s Project Awards recognize overall impact and innovation in specific SAP implementations. ABeam was chosen for its introduction of an accounting system at a government-managed financial institution. The system helped the client achieve greater operational efficiency by allowing them to consolidate financial reporting centrally, eliminating the burden of additional reporting at individual branch offices. The new system was implemented in under a year.
"We are honored to receive this continued recognition of ABeam’s commitment to delivering results for clients," said Kazumasa Nishioka, President and Representative Director of ABeam Consulting. "This independent validation is an important marker for companies who need guidance and expertise to navigate today’s difficult business environment.
