HP and SAP AG extend relationship to focus on output-management solution for SAP's enterprise software.

SINGAPORE, 16 June 2000 -- Hewlett-Packard Company and SAP AG to will work together to develop advanced output-management and information-delivery solutions for current and future SAP customers.

This new joint effort by HP and SAP AG is among the first byproducts to emerge from the recognition of a strategic fit between mySAP.com and HP's e-services.

"This new alliance will make HP and SAP AG stronger partners as we jointly develop and market output-management solutions and printing e-services," said Bill Bock, vice president and general manager of HP's Services and Solutions.

The companies are focusing efforts on four areas:
  • output distribution;
  • spooling;
  • Web-based information delivery; and
  • electronic forms.

    One of the key factors in forging this alliance was HP's 1999 acquisition of Dazel Corporation. Prior to the acquisition, Dazel had been certified as a SAP output-management solution.

    HP and SAP will introduce the output-management solution this fall. The solution will support SAP's mySAP.com and will provide end-to-end single-point control of the information-delivery architecture. It also will facilitate the use of electronic forms through data-stream conversion and Web-enabled output.
