SEAL Consulting Inc. to Offer Factory-like Design and Implementation Services for SAP® Interactive Forms by Adobe, Providing Innovation and Efficiency to Customers

 

ORLANDO, Fla. – May 5, 2008 – SEAL Consulting Inc. (SEAL), the global IT services provider, today announced at the SAPPHIRE® 2008 Orlando conference that it will provide design and implementation services for the SAP® Interactive Forms software by Adobe. SEAL is one of the first systems integrators (SIs) in SAP’s new program that will pave the way for innovative development and implementation services, providing SAP customers business process innovation by automating and streamlining extended form- and document-based processes.

 

The program includes a factory-like approach leveraging pre-developed SAP Interactive Forms packs that can be rapidly customized and cost-effectively produced for large-scale organizations. The SAP NetWeaver® platform provides the flexible technology for a robust, scalable business process platform.  SEAL will enable SAP customers to deploy forms-based business processes that include critical information from, and for, SAP applications and other solutions.

 

SAP Interactive Forms empowers users with access to business critical data in extended forms-based processes that are available both on-line and off-line. It enhances productivity by quick turn-around of data and also provides document-based traceability to meet compliance mandates like SOX.


SEAL’s design and implementation services for SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe utilize a “factory” model, where the forms are blue-printed and turned around quickly, just like a modern production facility. Under the factory model, SEAL delivers a package of SAP Interactive Forms built on an enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) and customized to suit the needs of small to large scale organizations.

 

“The pre-built forms reduce total cost of ownership by engaging reusable blue-print forms and a factory delivery model that is scalable,” said Russ Bockstedt, vice president, Technology Services at SEAL.

 

Pre-built SAP Interactive Forms packs will be available for industry sectors including discrete manufacturing, retail and high-tech manufacturing as well as for horizontal solution areas including human capital management, customer relationship management and supply chain management.  New industry and horizontal solutions will be added continuously to meet the growing demand.

 

“SEAL bridges the gap between the forms delivered by SAP and market needs by utilizing enterprise SOA,” said Pandari Kubendran, NetWeaver Practice Lead at SEAL.  “We have the ability to quickly deliver solutions utilizing resources in both North America and India.”


In addition to delivering and customizing pre-built forms, SEAL will enable customers to deploy SAP Interactive Forms by engaging the same factory model for quick and faster implementation of critical business processes. 

 

“Using a global delivery model, the factory approach helps in reducing the costs and timelines for our customers, providing additional value,” said MVR Kumar, vice president of SEAL India/EMEA. “With over 350 consultants in India dedicated to our SAP solution-focused practice, our customers will benefit substantially, thereby achieving lower TCO.”


“SAP is committed to leveraging our business process platform to make each customer a best-run business,” said April Young, vice president, Ecosystem and Partner Group, SAP Americas. “We are pleased to have SEAL Consulting join us in launching the inaugural program based on design and implementation services for SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe. SEAL is one of four partners working with SAP on delivering high-quality and affordable packaged business processes that offer flexibility and reusability for future business process improvement. Our customers will achieve fast time to value by reducing the barriers in automating and streamlining error-prone, traditionally paper-based processes.”
