"Savvy small and midsize sport and stadium management companies are taking the leap from focusing solely on sports to providing a full entertainment package to their customers," said David Fellers, CEO, Bramasol. "We are convinced that SAP Business ByDesign, combined with our industry know-how, is the right solution to allow these growing companies to manage all parts of their business while supporting their individual growth strategies."
Bramasol is a premiere software products and services firm specializing in developing, selling, implementing and supporting SAP solutions. The long-term SAP partner, is headquartered in South San Francisco and supports customers located throughout the U.S. Bramasol also provides vertical solutions and add-ons for the SAP® Business All-in-One application, SAP® BusinessObjects(TM) software and the SAP Business ByDesign solutions.
A growing number of sports teams and stadiums are looking for integrated business management solutions that help them run their businesses while keeping IT investments at a minimum. SAP Sports and Entertainment Management provides an end-to-end solution that can tie in business activities across the organization -- from ticket sales to core back-end processes. With real-time reporting and data analysis capability, customers can simulate changes in earnings when staging multiple sports and entertainment events and the resulting effects on a season's profitability. The software integrates with external ticketing and point-of-sales solutions to manage sales of tickets and merchandising at the arena, as well as in city stores. The transactions are transferred to the SAP Business ByDesign system, where follow-up processes including inventory management, payment processes and reporting are triggered. Tight integration with the e-shop helps companies manage the sales of items popular with fans and ensure that favorite articles are never out of stock.
"With the go-live of SAP Sports and Entertainment Management, we have completed another exciting and successful project thanks to the co-innovation approach with valued customers and partners like the San Jose Sharks and Bramasol," said Gerd Oswald, chief operating officer, SAP AG. "Now we are looking forward to the next round, taking the solution across the U.S. and beyond to Europe."
