Why Do Businesses Benefit from Digital Transformation?

What Is SAP? What SAP Solutions Do You Need for Business?

SAP is a well-known software development company established in 1972 in Germany. Nowadays, SAP is an indisputable leader in the niche of business process management software.  

The company has developed solutions for managing all major business processes and functions, including ERP (the acronym stands for “enterprise resource planning”), human resource management, analytics, data integration, supply chain management, etc. 

The software helps to optimize business performance by seamless integration and automation of crucial workflow processes. Offering centralized data storage, SAP solutions help to accelerate routine processes and ensure accurate real-time analysis for diverse business functions. With AI-powered insights, businesses can make faster and better-informed decisions, which is crucial in the highly competitive landscape.

As the SAP ecosystem of solutions and partners grows, businesses do look for a reliable partner. SAP has established the Competency Framework so that enterprises can select a partner given the competency, experience, and specializations of SAP software providers.  

SAP partners are divided into several tiers based on competence and experience:

Essential. This level means that a partner has successfully passed the required training and has the necessary expertise with at least one SAP product. To achieve the Essential status a partner has to demonstrate and prove successful delivery of projects.

Advanced. Partners of advanced level have proved their competence with several SAP products through multiple customer projects. Cooperation with an advanced partner opens access to advanced integration capabilities.

Expert. The highest level of competency is proved by multiple projects and customer success. An SAP expert partner has the expertise in end-to-end transformation and customization of products to address unique business requirements.

What factors to consider while selecting an SAP partner?

  • Competency and specialization. Look for a partner with expertise and experience in your industry. Ask for references. Opt for a company that has successfully delivered projects in your industry and has positive reviews.

  • Portfolio. The expertise should be confirmed by successfully delivered projects. Customer success serves as an indicator of the competency and experience of the company.  

  • Regional specialization. Within a single industry, there are regional challenges and concerns. Make sure that a chosen partner fully understands regional specifics.  

  • Customization. Some providers offer standard packages, while others can customize the solution and develop unique integrations to address unique business requirements. If you need a custom-tailored solution, ensure that a selected company has the expertise and resources to deliver customized solutions.    

  • Customer support. Continuous customer support is a crucial factor when it comes to digitalization. You need a partner who will stay by your side and ensure the seamless performance of the solution.  

  • Demo. Some providers offer a “test drive” — they demonstrate how the business will change with the implementation of SAP products. This practice allows you to see how the system will change operational processes. Understanding how your business will work after the transformation is crucial, so look for a partner that helps you see how the system can change your business.

How to choose the right partner?

1.       Determine the set of requirements and goals for transformation.

2.       Examine an SAP partner, including the competency level within the SAP network and the company’s portfolio.
