AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, August 18 /PRNewswire/ --

Quadrem today announced it has signed a global business process
outsourcing (BPO) agreement with SAP AG in order to help customers reduce the
cost and complexity of implementing and operating integrated electronic
sourcing, procurement, invoicing and contract management processes. In
addition, Quadrem's BPO services have qualified as "Powered by SAP".

"Our goal is to leverage the combination of SAP's market-leading
technologies and Quadrem's expertise and supplier network to deliver a
flexible, comprehensive SRM offering and make it available based on the need
of the customer," said Christopher Haydon, Quadrem's senior vice president of
Marketing and Global Solutions. "The Quadrem BPO services powered by SAP
software provide customers with rapid time-to-value, whether they are
implementing an end-to-end solution or integrating individual components to
complement their existing capabilities."

The flexibility of the Quadrem offering is attractive to Fortune 500
companies that can now take advantage of on-demand services to outsource
network-centric processes. It is also ideal for mid-size companies without an
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system -- or with an ERP solution from a
vendor other than SAP -- that want best-in-class, source-to-pay capabilities.
Additionally, companies that need a bridging strategy during an ERP
implementation, or for disparate divisions or locations, should consider
Quadrem BPO services.

The main components of the Quadrem BPO services powered by SAP software
include the following:

-- Pre-configured SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM)
application, including e-sourcing, covering sourcing, procurement, contract
management, and invoice workflow, specifically tuned for use in a BPO
scenario

-- Quadrem's Global Supplier Network (currently over 55,000 suppliers),
transaction platform, and supplier on-boarding and enablement services

-- Catalogue and content data management, master data management and
integration services

All services listed above are delivered on-demand and built through a
very close collaboration between Quadrem and SAP.

"Quadrem has a proven track record of helping global customers achieve
successful multi-enterprise integration and collaboration in e-procurement,
e-sourcing, and e-invoicing," said Dr. Christian Baader, vice president, SAP
BPO. "We are pleased that Quadrem's BPO services have qualified as 'Powered
by SAP', offering end-to-end solutions that leverage SAP SRM to provide added
value to customers."

The solution is available immediately by contacting Quadrem at
