Safe Passage is a package of solutions, technology and incentives to aid companies in their migration.

Through 2006, Samsonite will be moving from its current JD Edwards to SAP.

SAP's industry focus, software fit and wide-ranging hosting and implementation services will enable us to integrate and globalize our retail and wholesale business, reduce our IT costs and deployment risk and enhance our ability to compete in the global marketplace, said Nick Macera, CIO, Samsonite Corporation.

We look forward to building a strong partnership with Samsonite, to help the company realize its global strategic objectives and execute on its mission of providing innovative solutions for the traveling world, said Bill McDermott, president and CEO, SAP America, the North American subsidiary of SAP AG. "Companies have a mandate to grow their businesses now. The SAP Safe Passage Program offers companies, such as Samsonite, an affordable way to migrate to a new solution environment to begin the process of innovating their businesses today."
