(“Pythian”), a leading data, analytics, and cloud services company and a portfolio company of Mill Point Capital LLC, announced today that the 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 both 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’s reputation for SAP excellence, outstanding customer service, and deep technical know-how fits well with Pythian’s full lifecycle approach as we enable our customers to scale, optimize and gain value from their most mission-critical business applications,”said Pythian CEO, Keith Angell. “Further, ManageServe’s analytics capabilities around SAP systems and databases align well with Pythian’s data-first approach to digital transformation.”

ManageServe, an SAP PartnerEdge and certified Hosting partner, has successfully completed over 80 SAP implementations, 50+ SAP upgrades, and 80+ OS/DB migrations (including HANA) 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, a global leader in the ERP market with 22 percent ERP market share, according to Gartner. By enhancing its ERP practice, Pythian is poised to help both 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 very relevant to Pythian’s current and future customers.
