Pythian Acquires SAP MSP Partner ManageServe

Pythian Services Inc., a data, analytics and cloud services company, has acquired ManageServe, a leader in SAP application hosting, implementation, migration, analytics and end-to-end managed services. ManageServe’s 16 years of experience and successful partnership with SAP deepens Pythian’s existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) practices and its capabilities to deliver SAP HANA solutions on Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and SAP cloud platforms.

ManageServe, an SAP PartnerEdge and certified hosting partner, has completed more than 80 SAP implementations, 50-plus SAP upgrades and more than 80 OS/DB migrations to all major cloud vendors and SAP’s own clouds. As a trusted SAP partner, ManageServe has demonstrated its ability to manage large-scale migrations, serving enterprises in the manufacturing, retail, healthcare and IT industries among others.

More than one third of Pythian’s enterprise-level customers use SAP with 22 percent ERP market share according to Gartner. By enhancing its ERP practice, Pythian is poised to help SAP and Oracle customers optimize their systems, gain value from their ERP data and accelerate their journey to the cloud. With enterprises increasingly interested in integrating their SAP data with cloud-based analytics stacks, Pythian’s focus on data and the cloud makes the acquisition relevant to Pythian’s customers.
