With its early on engagement as a first partner on the new SAP hybris-as-a-Service at Hana Cloud Platform (YaaS), arvato Systems is making a strategic change towards Cloud Service Innovations.
New York, NY, September 15, 2015 (Newswire.com) - While arvato Systems has been working on the YaaS platform already since the beginning of 2015, hybris, an SAP company and leader in Commerce solutions, opened it up to a broader audience with today's launch announcement of the Open Beta phase.
arvato Systems’ activities on YaaS began in January 2015 with the exclusive collaboration with hybris labs on the in-store task management system TKT, which is part of hybris labs’ Changing Room Omni-Commerce solution.
"Distributed, composite applications are fast becoming a reality in software development. A vibrant and active eco-system of developers, independent software vendors and solution providers are core to the success of such a concept as they will bring additional innovation and create a choice of business services for our customers. Arvato's expertise and know how will add valuable business services to our platform which will ensure instant value to our SAP hybris customers."
Stefan Schmidt, SVP, hybris as a Service
Since then, arvato Systems has assembled a team of experts to build and operate a Microservices-based Architecture using latest technologies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Container Services and Docker containers to achieve a fully automated continuous delivery setup. This enables the arvato Systems team to develop, test, and release fast to market without sacrificing quality.
With the launch of the YaaS Open Beta platform, arvato Systems is launching its first three services to the cloud community for public use:
arvato Inventory Service
- Manage and monitor stock per storage bin
- Check availability and perform inventory transactions
- Review transaction history
arvato SMS Service
- Programmatically send and receive short text messages (SMS) with support for over 20 countries
arvato Avalara AVS Service
- Validate addresses using the Avalara address verification, for example to verify shipping and billing addresses during checkout
arvato Systems Microservices were developed in close collaboration with the hybris YaaS development team to complement the hybris Core and Commerce offerings.
“We are proud to be a first mover on the new YaaS platform and are already working on several other Cloud Microservices to be released in the near future. Our technical expertise and long-standing close relationship to hybris and SAP are the foundation for our strategic shift towards Cloud Services for scalable business solutions.” says Frank Zimmermann, CEO of arvato Systems North America.
