Sudipta Bhattacharya, a senior vice president at SAP and a principal architect of the company's manufacturing product strategy over the past three years, will leave the software company at the end of August to join automation products giant Invensys in a yet-to-be defined role.

Bhattacharya, who heads SAP's global supply chain management, manufacturing, and product lifecycle management applications strategy, said in an interview with Managing Automation today that he decided to leave SAP to pursue new challenges.

"After five and a half years at SAP, I wanted to do something different, yet remain part of the ecosystem that I helped build and had grown to admire," said Bhattacharya, referring to partnerships with Invensys and other companies he helped forge. "I have done my role here. It's time for others with different ideas to step in."
