DENVER, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Akerna (Nasdaq:
KERN) ("Akerna" or the "Company"), a leading compliance technology
provider and developer of the cannabis industry's first
seed-to-sale enterprise resource planning (ERP) software technology
(MJ Platform®), is proud to announce that its MJ Platform connector
v1.0 has achieved SAP® certification as integrated with
SAP NetWeaver®.
As part of the SAP certification process, the company's custom
developed ABAP add-on was validated for deployment on SAP's
enterprise resource planning software, SAP ERP 6.0. The integration
with Akerna's compliance and inventory management has been tested
for interoperability with SAP ERP 6.0. The integration helps ensure
solutions for multi-state operators and enterprise-level cannabis
clients while marrying the best of SAP's comprehensive business
solutions with Akerna's compliance and inventory management.
The new integration will allow Akerna to significantly expand
its ERP offerings to include finances as well as traditional
compliance tracking. MJ Platform users will be able to review
financial data points, such as cost of goods sold, across multiple
facilities in multiple states and generate reports at an
organizational level.
"Earning this SAP certification sets us apart from our
competitors and confirms our status as a leader in enterprise-level
cannabis software solutions," says Akerna Chief Executive Officer,
Jessica Billingsley. "With this
SAP-certified integration, we can provide our clients with in-depth
ledger information that helps us stand out from other seed-to-sale
software providers".
"To see Akerna being recognized by SAP and being granted this
certification is exciting for us at Cresco Labs. At Cresco Labs, we
are going down the path of deploying SAP ERP as a critical platform
that enables our growth. We know that a vital aspect of meeting
this objective is integrating with the Akerna seed-to-sale platform
in some of the key states we operate in," says Cresco Labs Chief
Information Officer, Mo
