Read MoreHide Full Article
SAP SE (SAP - Free Report) recently concluded the buyout of a majority stake in the working capital management solutions company — Taulia — for an undisclosed amount.
With the stake buyout, SAP is looking to boost its Business Network capabilities and bolster finance solutions. Following the stake buyout, Taulia will continue to function as an independent company within the SAP Group, while Cédric Bru will remain CEO. SAP also stated that JP Morgan would continue to hold its equity stake in the company.
San Francisco-based Taulia specializes in providing early payment through dynamic discounting, supply chain and accounts receivable finance. The company boasts a strong ecosystem of financial partners, including the likes of UniCredit and JP Morgan, among other high-profile financial institutions.

Rise with SAP offering was launched in first-quarter 2021 and now has a 1,300-strong user base. SAP's last-quarter performance benefitted from strength in its cloud business, especially the Rise with SAP solution.
