Situated in Pretoria, the AppHaus joins 22 other global locations in key SAP markets.
It provides a human-centered approach to innovation, access to a multi-disciplinary team of technology, business, and innovation experts, and a creative environment.
“Through the expert guidance of our valued partners at EPI-USE and by leveraging SAP’s skills and technology, we hope to support African organisations as they explore innovative solutions to some of the great challenges of our time,” SAP Africa Chief Operating Officer Tracy Bolton said.
“We look forward to working with EPI-USE as they apply AppHaus methodologies in service of innovation over the coming years,” she added.
SAP says it seeks to broaden its base in Africa with its current presence in South Africa and Kenya.
Africa’s first AppHaus is a 250-square-meter space that can host workshops for up to 50 people and includes four separate meeting areas.
It features moveable design-thinking tables and walls that can be written on and support a hands-on approach.
The room set-up can be adapted to suit clients’ individual needs as well.
“By leveraging design-led innovation centres such as the newly launched APPHAUS at Epi-Use Labs, customers gain access to a user-centric approach, co-creation opportunities, and expert guidance from skilled professionals,” African SAP User Group Board Chairman Duke Mathebula said.
“This initiative accelerates project development, supports digital transformation, and facilitates networking within the Africa SAP community,” he added.
“Epi-Use Labs is showing their commitment to SAP’s strategy to empower African businesses with tailored solutions and their dedication to advancing innovation on the continent.”
