The highly anticipated SAP partners list of winners for the Excellence Awards in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) region has been announced, shining a spotlight on some of the most outstanding contributors to the SAP ecosystem.
The SAP Australia Partner Excellence Awards for 2023 were created to recognize and honor the outstanding accomplishments of SAP’s top-performing partners throughout the last year. It spans 16 distinct categories, covering a wide variety of achievements including excellence in customer service, leading-edge innovation, innovative technology, and services. Furthermore, the awards serve as an important recognition of the dedication and hard work that these partners bring to their business partnerships with the German enterprise software giant.
Acknowledging that customer expectations are continually evolving, SAP revamped the criteria for this year’s award categories in order to more accurately reflect how partners are assisting customers in fulfilling their goals and ambitions, particularly with regard to transitioning to the cloud. By modernizing these awards, SAP is striving to recognize those partners who have enabled organizations to thrive even during times of uncertainty.
Moreover, SAP has also taken a major step towards promoting digital literacy across ANZ by introducing the People Development category in the SAP Australia Partner Excellence Awards for 2023. This new award recognizes the important role that capability training and certification can play in increasing people’s skill sets, thus helping to build a more digitally-savvy workforce. Encouraging employees to obtain certifications and other qualifications helps to ensure that they are up-to-date with current technologies, enabling them to stay ahead of the competition and better meet their organization’s objectives.
The prestigious awards ceremony was held as part of a larger event – the SAP Partner Ecosystem Success Summit, which was hosted by SAP ANZ President and Managing Director Damien Bueno and SAP ANZ Head of Partners and Channels Mark Hettler. The summit provided an opportunity for the partners to come together in one place and celebrate their success in achieving excellence within the industry. It was a momentous occasion that highlighted how far these partners have come in terms of providing outstanding contributions to their customers and to the wider business community.
“I would like to congratulate all the winners of this year’s SAP Australia Partner Excellence Awards. Our partners play a crucial role supporting our customers to grow and succeed. This was especially evident last year as we came together to help organizations across Australia navigate market uncertainty and the lasting impacts of the pandemic. The submissions received are testament to the innovation, creativity, and collaboration that is flourishing in ANZ,” the SAP MD shared.
