How we plan to help our customers even more in 2014
PIC
Introducing and educating clients on how to take full advantage of the Singapore PIC (Productivity and Innovation Credit) that runs for another year. This cost-effective government incentive enables small and medium-sized businesses to leverage business management tools such as SAP Business One whilst being able to offset a large proportion of the associated costs. We have already helped many clients to achieve their business goals with a greatly reduced financial output and we look forward to doing even more in 2014.

SAP HANA
Supporting and guiding our clients to achieve phenomenal business success by using the powerful analytical tools within SAP HANA. The in-memory technology enables businesses to gather and merge their Big Data sources into predictive analysis models to break into new markets, create even more targeted campaigns as well as predict and take advantage of future consumer trends. We know this is a game changer in terms of what businesses, even growing organisations, will be able to achieve in the future and we are excited to be at the forefront of such technology in Singapore.

SAP Business One Apps
We strive to bring our clients the latest tools and trends applicable to their industry from manufacturing (discrete & process), retail, as well as maintenance, repairs and overhaul (MRO). In 2014, we will be bringing the most up to date features for the B1 Apps and how they can be used to maximise output for organisations.

New Trends
We love technology and how it can improve the lives of our clients, and their customers. We endeavour to always bring the latest technological advances to the attention of our clients and provide education and information about how it can positively influence the way they work. In 2014, new features in SAP Business One and SAP HANA such as text analytics, action pervasive analytics and enhanced e-commerce solutions will become fundamental in the way we do business – and Blue Ocean Systems will deliver you what you need to know.
We are really excited about the advances in technology 2014 will bring and we look forward to working with you to enhance and supercharge your business this year!
