Lumen and SAP Partner to Offer SAP HANA for SAP Business One on the Lumen Platform

Lumen cloud management platform will host and manage SAP HANA infrastructure for businesses

To help simplify cloud services for small and medium-sized enterprises, Lumen Technologies announces a global partnership with SAP to integrate SAP HANA into the Lumen platform for businesses using SAP Business One. Lumen will host and manage this offering to help simplify the configuration and deployment of SAP HANA, supporting value-added resellers (VARs), channel partners and 75,000 small and mid-market customers globally.

“Until today, VARs were typically on their own to manage and host their instances of SAP Business One. Now, the Lumen platform can quickly and cost effectively enable intelligent enterprises with SAP HANA in the cloud,” said Joost Tigelaar, SAP vice president of global SME ERP sales. “The Lumen platform can help partners and customers by offering them a choice of hybrid deployment models and cloud infrastructure providers, bringing the benefits of both SAP HANA and the cloud to our ecosystem.”
