KMD Brings the Public Sector to the Cloud with RISE with SAP

SAP announced KMD A/S is moving its KMD Opus platform to SAP S/4HANA Cloud through its RISE with SAP journey on Microsoft Azure.

“The agreements with SAP and Microsoft primarily ensure long-term stability for our Opus solution. Opus customers will benefit from the most innovative technologies and a secure and compliant data and cloud setup. This will empower us to enhance the quality of our solution, and to provide even greater value in public administration, whether it concerns payroll, debtors or finances,” said Jan Gaardboe Jensen, Senior Vice President, KMD.

As a major player in the Danish IT market with operations in various European countries, KMD develops and delivers IT solutions and services, focusing on digitalization and IT infrastructure for municipal, state and business segments. By entering into a technology and cloud agreement between KMD, SAP and Microsoft, KMD will be enabled to elevate the operation of KMD Opus, its ERP system offering used by thousands of public employees in Denmark for managing payroll, debtors and finances.

By migrating to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, KMD is looking to develop a new user interface with increased AI integration to bring more automation to repetitive tasks and greater access to data-driven insights, making reporting easier and more accessible to users.

“For the past 27 years, KMD and SAP have worked together to digitize the public sector,” said Mikkel Stavnsbo, Managing Director, SAP Denmark. “It’s exciting to see KMD embark on its next chapter with a focus on new innovative technologies and automation with cloud services from SAP, such as AI. The shift to the cloud unlocks more opportunities for us to work together to contribute to an even better run society,” he added.
