Using big data for enterprise asset management, Clockwork has rapidly leveraged SAP HANA to enhance its real-time decision support. The Clockwork platform generates volumes of 'future bigger data' by sourcing, collecting, cleaning, correcting, completing and categorizing critical asset performance data used in predictive analytics to optimize parts ordering and maintenance scheduling, while reporting on asset performance, uptime, utilization and ROI.

"There is a new breed of organizations that is further extending our technology by embedding it with their own, which is allowing customers to achieve increased value rapidly," said Steve Erdman, National Vice President and General Manager, OEM Group, North America Ecosystem and Channels, SAP.  "We believe our customers will be further empowered to leverage their SAP investments even further through Clockwork's proactive approach to managing enterprise assets with predictive analytics. Respectively, our solutions highlight big data, technology and customer value and are the key intersections for helping businesses run better."

Clockwork initially worked with SAP as a participant in the SAP Startup Focus program to showcase Clockwork's Insight LCM solution running on SAP HANA at SAPPHIRE® NOW in Spain last year.  The Clockwork team connected with customers, executives, partners and experts and further confirmed its approach to working with SAP; that experience solidified the company's plans to deepen cooperation with SAP through this OEM partnership. 

Clockwork will be exhibiting in booth 1432 at SAPPHIRE NOW in Florida, being held May 14 – 16.
