Décio Krakauer, CEO of Ramo
THE Branch, SAP’s main partner for SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and SAP SAC, is launching Ananim, a spin-off dedicated to offering cloud solutions for ERPs from any manufacturer, as well as data loads, backups and other systems on the market. The company will operate with Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings, differentiating itself from large cloud providers with its specialized understanding of management software.
The initiative was created to serve small and medium-sized companies and scale-ups (fast-growing organizations that need technological solutions to support their expansion in an efficient and scalable manner), as well as software manufacturers and integrators, offering a solution for those seeking to migrate data to the cloud safely and efficiently. In addition to hosting SAP Business One, Ananim will offer support for complementary modules and other systems that connect to S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, ERPs, business systems and automation. “This new proposal was developed to fill a gap in the market: providing not only infrastructure, but also a specialized understanding of software and systems demands. Our focus is to deliver a differentiated experience for companies that need reliable and affordable cloud solutions, with the support of those who know the sector”, says Rafael Melloni, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Ananim.
With over 24 years of experience in data processing and related technologies, Rafael Melloni leads the new company with a clear direction aligned with customer needs. Before taking on the role of CTO at Ananim, Melloni was one of Ramo’s key employees, building a solid career in systems implementation and IT management.
Ananim's model strengthens the business of companies that operate with ERPs in local clouds, but are looking for a high-performance public solution. Organizations that want to optimize workloads distributed across multiple platforms, small and medium-sized companies that need greater security and efficient management in the cloud, and ERP manufacturers that need a centralized and customizable platform for their customers also benefit from the proposal.
As the largest partner in Latin America of cloud service provider Huawei Cloud, Ananim also works with other global providers. “The cloud computing market continues to grow and according to Gartner forecasts, 90% of companies will adopt a hybrid cloud approach by 2027, highlighting the growing importance of flexible and integrated IT environments. With this scenario, we are confident that this new division will contribute to the acceleration of digital transformation in Brazil”, comments Décio Krakauer, CEO of Ramo.
Since its creation as a spin-off from Ramo, Ananim seeks to establish itself as one of the leading cloud options for the market. Combining experience in management software for small and medium-sized companies and scale-ups with cutting-edge infrastructure. “Ananim represents an important step towards the democratization of the cloud in Latin America, offering customized and accessible solutions for companies of all sizes and adapted to the critical demands of system manufacturers and users,” concludes Krakauer.
