Overview

When operating global business processes or communicating over the Web with customers from around the world, companies require sup-port for multiple local-language characters and technology platforms. To ensure that informa-tion is correctly represented and that platform-dependent code pages comply with each other, many organizations rely on Unicode.

That’s why SAP offers a Unicode conversion ser-vice. By converting SAP applications to Unicode, firms can allow global access in various lan-guages and run business processes with multi-ple language characters. The service offers full integration with Java-based solutions as well as Internet-based communication technologies.

Consultants from the SAP Global Delivery group, part of the SAP Consulting organization, assess a company’s requirements and work with cus-tomer personnel to design a conversion plan. By clearly defining the cost, scope, and schedule of the service, we offer terms and quality that orga-nizations can rely on. Using proven industry best practices helps us quickly and effectively execute conversions.

The conversion service supports companies’ glo-balization and localization efforts. Switching to an internationally accepted standard like Unicode helps firms realize a faster return on their IT invest-ments while increasing operational efficiency. By communicating clearly with customers, compa-nies can increase satisfaction, build loyalty, and achieve their global business goals.
