Serving a Growing Global Market

To serve our growing customer base, SAP invests in an elite list of global services partners. We understand that collaborating with and enabling partners fully is the key to success. Today SAP global services partners include Accenture, Atos Origin, BearingPoint, Capgemini, CSC, Deloitte, Fujitsu, HCL Technologies, HP Services, IBM, IDS Scheer, Infosys, itelligence, Logica, Satyam, Siemens, Tata Consulting Services, and Wipro.

SAP services partners focus on business solutions and typically provide:

• Consulting services
• Systems integration services
• Support for evaluation, implementation, and continuous improvement

SAP services partners collaborate with SAP and assume joint responsibility for supporting the SAP solution. Partnerships are available at these levels:

• SAP Partner - Services – Smaller companies that focus on local markets, specific industries, or specific SAP products.
• SAP Alliance Partner - Services – Consultants that offer comprehensive services to key SAP accounts in a particular market. Alliance partners work closely with SAP to develop local markets and to deliver services. Participation at this level is by invitation only and requires a sufficient number of certified consultants.
• SAP Global Partner - Services – Companies that deliver comprehensive services that cover at least two regions, including Europe and North America.

When SAP recognizes an opportunity that has specific strategic value, such as an opportunity in a particular market segment or geographic area, SAP may offer special expertise partnerships.
