Overview Fostering Co-Innovation and Value for Customers Today companies are seeking to draw their customers closer, thereby extending business integration challenges into extended networks. At SAP, we believe IT evolution calls for creating links between a company’s IT infrastructure with that of other businesses such as their customers and vendors. Supporting this network requires solutions that not only cross platforms and systems, but enable business processes that extend from end to end, and data models and formats that flow across these business processes.
SAP has answered this need by cultivating a customer-driven ecosystem comprised of various partners that work together within industries to create solutions and drive value for customers. Our vision is to provide a platform that enables partners to create end-to-end solutions, encourages faster co-innovation among all the stakeholders, and supports value creation for the customer.
Specifically we are:
Focusing resources on evolving our platform and expanding our enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA)
Leveraging in-depth industry knowledge to address customer needs
Reaching out to business partners to work with us in creating communities of innovation
Hundreds of highly-qualified ecosystem partners deliver value to customers with proven results:
Wide-ranging access to established business solutions
Rapid and cost-effective installations and implementations that accelerate ROI
Complete life-cycle support to lower total cost of ownership
