Service providers, enterprise networks, data centers, and others trust in technology solutions from General Datatech (GDT). The company specializes in designing, building, and delivering best-in-class solutions and prides itself on partnering with the best in the industry. GDT had grown by 20% to 30% year over year for seven consecutive years and needed a solution that could meet its immediate needs and continue to grow with it, be flexible, and deliver the competitive edge needed for success.

GDT participated in the SAP Early Adopter Care program and deployed the SAP ®S/4HANA suite with the SAP Fiori user experience. SAP S/4HANA has delivered a ®single source of truth and has increased the speed at which GDT is able to retrieve financial and operational insight. In the past it was very difficult to get information for the executives, and now data is available in real time on mobile devices. GDT has used SAP S/4HANA to increase the speed of business and can now continue to grow while serving its customers better and more quickly than ever before.

"GDT almost immediately began realizing the benefits of SAP S/4HANA. The time required to turn a sales quote into a sales order and purchase requisition has been reduced to mere days. Additionally, with the automation of some cumbersome, manual processes, the month-end and year-end close processes are well on their way to being reduced at least by half."Jonathan Pendrich, Managing Principal, General Datatech L.P.
