WASHINGTON, D.C. - August 23, 2004 - SAP America, Inc., a subsidiary of SAP AG (NYSE: SAP), today announced the United States Postal Service’s selection of SAP® solutions to streamline business processes for its human resources system. The U.S. Postal Service employs one-third of the civilian workforce of the federal government and is one of the world’s largest employers, with more than 700,000 employees. SAP will implement mySAP™ Business Suite to replace the 25-year-old system developed by the U.S. Postal Service. SAP Professional Services was selected as the implementation partner to assist the U.S. Postal Service in delivering a successful project.

Otto, chief technology officer, United States Postal Service. “The desired result of the project is to leverage technology to provide more value to our most valuable asset, our employees.

With 50 postal organizations globally as customers, SAP’s expansive industry knowledge enables postal companies to integrate business processes and valuable information to increase visibility across the organization and enhance the customer experience while lowering the total cost of ownership. The U.S. Postal Service selected SAP as its enterprise human resources solution following a multi-year assessment of the functional, technical and Web-enabled capabilities of SAP software.
