SAP REVEALS 2014 AFRICA PARTNER OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNERS
SAP is proud to
announce the finalists and winners for the prestigious 2014 SAP Africa Partner
of the Year Awards.
The SAP Africa
Partner of the Year Awards is the company’s premier partner recognition
programme that shines the acknowledgement spotlight upon its most outstanding
partners, who have excelled in developing a partnership with SAP and in helping
their customers optimise their operations, boost their productivity, and
increase their respective revenues on the continent.
As with the Academy
Awards, it is an honour to be nominated within a category, but one company has
to win the award on the night. Always a firm favourite, the New Partner of the
Year award nominees were, AXEL Enterprise Systems, Conseils Plus and Allos
Consulting with the latter coming up tops on the night.
An equally
competitive group of nominees constituted the Strategic Industry Awards: Energy
& Natural Resources Partner of the Year category with Accenture, Indra and
Twenty Third Century Systems competing for top honours. Accenture emerged as
the victor within this Strategic Industry Awards category.
The Partner of the
Year Southern Africa Award saw Accenture, EOH and Twenty Third Century Systems
vying for the top honour but it was Twenty Third Century Systems who got up to
collect the award.
Last, but
definitely not least, was the highly sought after Regional MD Awards category,
which saw Indra (East Africa), Nosmay (West Africa) and Roff (Francophone) walk
away with the award.
The criteria all
nominees and winners have to conform to are not for the faint of heart and all
nominees have to excel in the building of revenue, customer growth, increase in
joint channel activities and even the adherence to ongoing attendance to
courses that ensure they are current in all SAP technologies.
“SAP chooses the
winners based upon four factors, which are co-innovation, market expansion,
service delivery and sustainability. In order to make the best decision, we
consult with our own customers as well as field leaders, industry experts and
also analyse the key performance indicators of the nominees,” explains Desmond
Nair, Director General Business & Partner Ecosystem at SAP Africa.
