PROS Pricing Solution Suite Certified by SAP to Run on SAP HANA®
Integrates with SAP HANA to Enable Innovative Real-time Capabilities, Faster Performance
HOUSTON, Nov. 25, 2013 – PROS® (NYSE: PRO), a big data software company, today announced its PROS Pricing Solution Suite has earned certification from SAP (NYSE: SAP) as powered by the SAP HANA® platform.
The SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified that PROS Pricing Solution Suite 3.24 runs on the SAP HANA platform and is powered by SAP HANA.
PROS delivers prescriptive analytics and real-time data science to help customers identify sales opportunities that are most likely to close, offers that are most likely to sell, and prices that are more likely to win. SAP HANA is a real-time database platform that streamlines analytics, planning, and predictive and sentiment assessments to allow businesses to operate in real time.
PROS is an SAP software solution and technology partner in the SAP PartnerEdge® program and a participant in the SAP Store. In April, PROS signed an OEM agreement with SAP to embed the SAP HANA platform with PROS big data applications that focus on sales effectiveness. As an OEM partner, the integration with SAP HANA will offer PROS customers additional flexibility, speed and data science capabilities for optimizing pricing and sales.
The certification validates that PROS has taken advantage of the distinctive capabilities of SAP HANA to deliver key benefits, including simpler administration, reduced processing overhead and better business intelligence.
“PROS continues its legacy of innovation in providing customers with a rich integration experience through our investment in the SAP partnership and the SAP HANA certification,” said PROS Senior Vice President, Products, Oscar Moreno. “More than half of our B2B customers run SAP solutions, and they consistently evaluate the latest solutions that are expected to drive growth and overall business performance. Pricing and sales decisions require near real-time analysis of large volumes of data streaming from multiple sources, and our customers’ sales teams will be prepared to sell more effectively and outperform in their markets with the new real-time, in-memory analytics.”
