Refugees United

Refugees United, an "NGO 2.0" organization making innovative use of technology to help people in need, today announced that SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) has made a commitment to donate software and expert assistance to the organization.

Refugees United offers the more than 42 million refugees worldwide a free, anonymous, Web-based database and search engine designed to help displaced family members reconnect with each other. As a first step, SAP has provided Refugees United with an on-demand solution for small businesses that will help the organization run its daily operations more efficiently. Solutions from SAP will allow Refugees United to more efficiently scale its operations and mission, and to become an even faster and more agile organization.

"We are proud and thankful that SAP has chosen to team with Refugees United," said Refugees United Chairman of the Board Vibeke Windelov. "With SAP's support we will be able to increase our aim of real-time collaboration between refugee support groups and NGOs, and, importantly, work to expand the network designed to facilitate participation by refugees themselves in the quest to relocate missing loved ones."

"Information Technology has fundamentally changed the way our society interacts on a global scale, offering new and innovative ways to aid those in need," said Jim Hagemann Snabe, executive board member, SAP. "I am personally inspired by the positive impact Refugees United is having on families around the globe and look forward to working with the organization as it expands its abilities to help displaced persons around the world."

System Innovation Consult will assist Refugees United in implementing the SAP(R) solution.
