Perspectives on Sales & Operations Planning

SAP Users Adopting Steelwedge for S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning)

With the growing recognition of the fundamental importance and value of adopting and effective S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) process, SAP customers are increasingly looking to Steelwedge as the only solution available that can drive an automated S&OP process that rapidly integrates SAP, Salesforce.com, and other key data.   Joint SAP Steelwedge customers include Honeywell, Nvidia, Harley Davidson, and Spansion.

With the failure of the SAP S&OP xAPP and the lack of a viable solution for S&OP inside SAP APO, SAP users face difficult challenges in leveraging their investments to enable a truly effective, fact-based process.  Moreover, users of financial performance management (FPM) systems such as SAP Outlooksoft, Hyperion, or Cognos, are adopting Steelwedge S&OP as the onel solution that truly ties together financial, operational, and sales information to create an integrated Sales and Operations Plan.   In addition, companies are increasingly asking Steelwedge to bridge information provided by demand planning, demand forecasting, supply planning, APS and other systems.

The Steelwedge approach is to incorporate existing demand, new product, sales, and financial information in a normalized (single view) way such that information is bridged, users can override plans based on their specific view/role inside an organzation.
