SAP announced it will acquire Lighthammer Software Development Corp., a leading supplier of enterprise manufacturing intelligence and collaborative manufacturing software.
SAP, the world's leading provider of business software solutions, says the acquisition will deliver value through improved manufacturing performance with rapid time-to-value for SAP's installed base of more than 12,000 manufacturing customers. As a result of the deal, Lighthammer's Collaborative Manufacturing Suite will be delivered as an SAP xApps composite application on the SAP NetWeaver platform.
"Acquiring Lighthammer supports SAP's strategy of enabling adaptive business networks, or ABNs, for our customers," said Nils Herzberg, SVP, Manufacturing Industry Solutions, Product and Technology Group (PTG), SAP. "Essential to enabling the ABN is bridging the disconnect between the shop floor and the enterprise through what SAP refers to as adaptive manufacturing--the ability of a manufacturer to profitably replenish the supply chain while dynamically adapting to unpredictable change. The SAP Lighthammer combination exemplifies the ABN vision."
The new combined SAP Lighthammer solution will provide manufacturers and their production personnel real-time visibility so they may adapt to change and rapidly respond to unforeseen demand and supply events.
