Good communication is key to a long-term relationship, be it with colleagues, business partners or - perhaps most importantly - with customers. That is why we want to keep you posted of what’s happening in the rapidly growing Keneos community. In our brand-new newsletter you will learn more about our company, approach and solutions. Our stories may inspire you to take your business to the next level! |
Take a look at the testimonial of SWIFT, for example, to see how they’ve benefited from implementing SAP Enterprise Compensation Management. Thanks to the solution proposed and delivered – and our professional support - the organization has experienced a marked increase in data accuracy, security, process automation and integration during its merit and bonus process.
In addition to this customer story, we’ve prepared an inside scope on our unique affiliate model for this newsletter. In a chat with our reporter, the Italian Pietro Maradei, CEO of SAP partner XC Excellence Club, explains why his company recently became a Master Affiliate of the Keneos Network in Italy. And why he, just like Keneos, strongly believes that a networked business model is the best way to deliver top-quality solutions and customer services.
Besides the above topics, this news looks back on some successful past events and zooms in on upcoming events such as the EHS event in Belgium, a HR Congress in Amsterdam and the SAP World Tour in Milan.
The future looks bright for Keneos: we’re growing rapidly. And we couldn’t do that without the continued trust of our customers. We truly hope our newsletter will further reinforce our bonds and our long-term partnership. Happy reading and enjoy the summer in front of us.

A Belgian Railway Company BECOMES KENEOS
FIRST EPI-USE REFERENCE
|
| |
 |
A Belgian railway company chooses Keneos to support their intensive testing activities |
|
| |
|
End of last year, EPI-USE Labs selected Keneos as VAR (Value Added Reseller) for the BeLux market. This partnership has already been extended to France and Switzerland in the meantime.
EPI-USE is specialized in SAP consulting and has developed powerful tools related to data replication and synchronization as well as to specific requirements such as reporting and data verification. Those tools are SAP certified.
Selling these products gives us a chance to deliver added value, to differentiate ourselves on the market and to approach customers and prospects with a state-of-the-art solution... in order to capitalize on that and extend our business to other SAP areas.
And after only three months of collaboration with EPI-USE, a first deal was signed with a Belgian railway company. Confronted with intensive testing activities in the HCM area, this Belgian railway company has decided to invest in DSM and VM in order to support those processes. This is definitely a first investment as those tools have been evaluated more globally and will therefore also been implemented in other areas (DSM).

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROCESS MADE EASY
|
| |
 |
Keneos helped SWIFT replace its Excel-based merit and bonus tool with SAP Enterprise Compensation |
|
|
| |
|
A merit and bonus plan is a pillar of every HR policy, as it truly helps motivating and retaining the best employees. The tasks involved in the distribution of salary increases and bonuses, however, are multiple and complex for large enterprises with branches all over the world. SWIFT chose Keneos to implement SAP Enterprise Compensation Management. The solution supports SWIFT in increasing data accuracy, process automation, integration and security during the merit and bonus process.
