Bangalore , July 4

SAP, the leading provider of business software solutions, today said it would launch an Indian version of its integrated business management solution, `Business One' by the year end.

SAP also announced the opening of a Centre of Excellence of the SAP Netweaver in its Bangalore campus.

The centre would facilitate the process of educating SAP partners in India and Asia-Pacific on the SAP NetWeaver platform to enable faster adoption of Enterprise Services Architecture.

SAP NetWeaver is an open integration and application platform and technical enabler of ESA, which is a blueprint for implementing enterprise-scale business solutions and flexible IT infrastructures by leveraging Web services and other open standards, company officials said.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, the SAP President of the product and technology group, Mr Shai Agassi, said that SAP India would have a headcount of 4,000 by the year-end against the current level of 1,750.

The development facility here is the largest outside Germany and SAP rates India among the top eight strategic markets. The facility, among the four global development hubs, accounts for 20 per cent of the company's 10,000 developers globally, he said.

SAP has invested euro 20 million to build Phases I and II of the India development centre and already announced it would invest euro 20 million more for Phase III of the SAP Lab campus.
