Many innovative projects for the manufacturing industry are carried out in Smart-Shore, leveraging solid SAP skills in addition to proven knowledge of the technical landscape. 

Developing projects in the SAP environment is challenging and delivering innovation and keeping up to date with emerging topics and technologies can be tough for manufacturing companies focused on production. During our lengthy experience we have grown our skills, consolidated our know-how and become a point-company for SAP system building and application maintenance, thanks to our SAP Competence Center based in Bari. The latter is one of the defining elements of Fincons’  Smart-shore model that was developed over ten years ago as an evolution of the traditional off-shore business models.

A worldwide commitment 

Many international companies have bet on this new approach and we have been able to grow and develop: the Smart-shore model carries out maintenance and application evolution cost-effectively and flexibly through hybrid delivery, mixing resources operating at the Bari office with professionals working at the customer's premises.
The SAP Competence Center drives this rapid growth together with new technologies and innovation: the team has increased constantly and today counts on almost 100 very highly skilled professionals involved in worldwide projects with more than 20 manufacturing customers. All projects have an international outlook, with successful worldwide roll-out in local plants in other countries.
