SAP announced this morning it that the centre, which is one of only seven in the world, would be sited in Brisbane and will undertake research in areas such as mobile computing, e-learning, cross-organisational workflow management, and novel ways of Enterprise Application Integration.
Chief executive officer of SAP Australia and New Zealand, Chris Bennett, said the centre would work closely with the SAP Voice Centre in Palo Alto in the United States on voice-enabling enterprise applications for the Australian market.
The research team will initially have five full time employees and 10 external researchers and the number of research staff is expected to double in 2003.
