As world leaders continue discussions on sustainability in Copenhagen this week, Germany-based SAP added its name to the conversation with a new application said to help manufacturers and others define and enforce sustainability initiatives throughout their organizations.
The SAP BusinessObjects Sustainability Performance Management Application relies heavily on the data collection and analysis capabilities of the BusinessObjects software. In a statement today, the company said the Sustainability Performance Management offering can free workers from the tedium of manually collecting data and compiling sustainability reports.
Deployed in conjunction with other SAP applications or as a stand-alone product, the software uses a simplified interface to streamline internal and external reporting, and helps companies distribute the insight gleaned throughout the organization. In concert with BusinessObjects’ theme of using analytics to steer performance improvements, SAP said the new software not only delivers business intelligence, but also helps guide companies toward improving their sustainability performance.
