How and why SAP chose us
Candidates for this year’s “SAP Partner Excellence Awards” awards were selected from SAP’s wide-ranging partner base.

A steering committee composed of regional and global SAP representatives determined winning partners in each category according to numerous criteria such as sales achievement and performance.
