Stuart BeadleGUEST
Our team, my team, myself included, we've been doing SAP a long time, but this was a different SAP, right? So getting ready for it was really getting our minds ready for it.

Stuart BeadleGUEST
If we'd embarked on a public cloud completely greenfield coming from a non-SAP environment, it would have been very different.

Stuart BeadleGUEST
We almost had to forget how we solved problems in the past because we weren't going to solve them in the same way.

Stuart BeadleGUEST
So ours was, we know SAP, But let's forget the old SAP, right? This is new, right? Let's forget about the old transaction codes that we used to work.

Stuart BeadleGUEST
Um, but actually for what we use SAP for, the, the postage meter, meter, the metering of the postage and even the, the shipping usage, that really isn't in SAP.

Stuart BeadleGUEST
We have a lot of operational systems that satellite SAP that do a lot of that, that sort of heavy lifting, and then this feeds into SAP for billing and, and, and so on, finance.

Stuart BeadleGUEST
Um, there are a lot of functions within SAP, largely order, order to cash, supply chain and finance.

Stuart BeadleGUEST
So we do take feeds from those operational systems, but we try and keep SAP to do what it's designed for.

Stuart BeadleGUEST
Um, a lot of the products that we offer, we offer under lease terms to our clients.
