CAS 8 Re-certified as Powered by SAP NetWeaver®; CAS Joins SAP® PartnerEdge™ Program

Kaiserslautern, Germany – August 27, 2010 - CAS AG, the leading global provider of customer management and mobility solutions for the consumer products industry, today announced that the latest release of its CAS solution, CAS 8, has achieved SAP re-certification as powered by the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform.

The SAP® Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified that CAS 8 properly integrates with the SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) offering to exchange critical data with instances of SAP Business Suite software. This was certified via the interface scenario NW-XI-CNT 3.0.

CAS 8 is an integrated suite of customer management and mobility software, including trade promotion management (TPM), trade promotion optimization (TPO), retail execution, direct store delivery (DSD), and field service modules.  The suite is designed to enable CP companies looking for industry-specific customer management and mobility capabilities to complement and extend existing ERP solutions, including the SAP ERP application.  CAS 8 is the only integrated software suite developed specifically for the Consumer Products industry that can be deployed on all major mobility device platforms - including smartphone, PDA, tablet and laptop - in “online” and “offline” environments.

In addition CAS has deepened its relationship with SAP by joining the SAP PartnerEdge™ program as an SAP software solution partner. Through the program, partners work closely with SAP to develop and certify the technical integration of their solutions with SAP software. Integrated partner applications extend, complement and add value to SAP solutions, thereby helping mutual customers more successfully meet business needs and drive strong results.

“Many of the world’s largest consumer products companies trust solutions from SAP as their platform for enterprise resource planning,” says Stefan Joneck, Founder and CEO of CAS. “CAS’s customer management and mobility modules provide a natural extension, and it is imperative to our clients that our solutions integrate with SAP applications. Through the integration of CAS with SAP NetWeaver, we can deliver a lower cost of ownership to our customers and help ensure that the full value available from our solutions can be readily achieved.”
