Why work with an SAP partner?

With in-depth expertise and extensive project experience, SAP partners help you get the most from your software while enabling a smooth deployment.  

Built just for you

SAP partners build, extend, customize, and enrich our software to deliver innovative and tailored solutions that meet the exact needs of customers all over the world. Each partner brings its own unique blend of expertise, skills, and services to deliver the solution you need and act as your trusted advisor, today and in the future. 

Local expertise

Some of our customers – particularly small and midsized firms (SMEs) – prefer to work with a company that is smaller than SAP. For you, the ideal choice may be a partner who is nearby, understands your local market, speaks your language, is embedded in the culture, and can easily navigate local regulations.

Built-in quality

All SAP partners must adhere to stringent requirements across their business operations, solutions, and services. This gives you peace of mind, knowing that you’re working with a partner that is not only endorsed by SAP but also continually monitored and evaluated. 

Putting customers first

Unlike many other partner programs, we reward and measure more than just revenue performance. Our programs also incentivize partners on those things that matter most to you, such as how satisfied you are, quality, and skill level. This creates a culture that places a strong emphasis on building customer relationships and not just closing deals. 

What types of services do partners provide?

SAP partners work with you to solve your business challenges and help you become a best-run business. Many of our partners work across a variety of SAP technologies and are active in one or more of the following areas: 

Not sure which SAP products or technology you need?

A solution sales partner can help you decide.

 

Our value-added resellers do far more than just selling SAP solutions. They act as trusted advisors and have unique experience in specific industries, while many are experts at meeting the needs of SMEs. Our partners help you identify the best solution to address your challenges and the deployment model that aligns to your business objectives. Sell partners can also provide ongoing maintenance and support services, helping you extract maximum value from your investment in SAP technology.
