Scalar Decisions and Clockwork Partner to Deliver Valet, a Managed, Hosted Solution in Support Of SAP® Business All-in-One

Toronto, Canada, June 2, 2010 –Scalar Decisions and Clockwork, two leading solution providers for the mid-market, have teamed together to deliver an enterprise-ready solution in support of SAP® Business All-in-One solutions.  The companies are now offering licensing and delivery options for SAP Business All-in-One solutions. Scalar’s expertise in managing mission-critical data centres paired with Clockwork’s proven experience in support of SAP solutions, offered through a hosted delivery model, allows customers to deploy SAP solutions quickly and cost-effectively using preconfigured, industry-specific best practices. The hosted offering – called Valet – also frees customers from the need to maintain on-premise solutions within their own IT infrastructures.

“This offering is unique in the Canadian market,” said Mike Roach, managing director of Clockwork.  “We allow customers to focus on what is ultimately important, running their businesses.  This initiative represents the next logical step in our company’s evolution.  As the newest SAP channel partner authorized to resell SAP Business All-in-One in Canada, we anticipate significant interest from our prospects and are pleased to extend our offering to fellow VAR organizations.

“Valet supports functional and industry-specific SAP Best Practices packages while providing a compelling ROI through a reduced capital expenditure model and implementation in just weeks,” added Clockwork’s Roach. “With Valet, the time to value for SAP’s world-class technology is tremendous.”

The combined team of experts will oversee all phases of solution implementation, including design, deployment and management, providing hands-on support for the customer through all phases.

“Our cloud computing platform is the perfect vehicle to deliver Valet in a hosted format,” said Mark Ransom, vice president of Technology, Scalar Decisions.  “Our partnership with Clockwork will make Valet a viable solution to a customer segment that previously may not have been able to afford or implement an enterprise application of this scale.  We are very excited about the opportunity ahead of us”

Delivered by Scalar and Clockwork, Valet will also support the the SAP Business All-in-One fast-start program. Using preconfigured best practices enables small businesses and midsize companies to quickly evaluate, acquire and implement the SAP Business All-in-One solution for greater clarity across all operations while saving time, effort and money.
