“To win in the experience economy, organizations have to continuously improve the core experiences of business – customer, product, employee and brand,” said Karl Fahrbach, chief partner officer, SAP. “With these investments, we are making good on our promise to lower the barriers for more partners to deliver the intelligent enterprise that will continue to improve and change our world.”
Three new partner initiatives are now available.
Higher-Quality Customer Projects Delivered by Partners
The partner delivery quality framework is designed to ensure consistent delivery of high-quality projects and improved partner and customer experiences. It provides a set of standard processes, tools and reporting aids to help partners train and enable their delivery resources and monitor quality across projects. It also awards grants for consultant education and incentives for partner investments, emphasizing customer success. Additionally, SAP will increase its own investment in partner learning and enablement and provide services to support partner implementation projects and customer adoption.
Free Access
SAP provides partners* with free access to an integrated, preconfigured software demonstration environment to expedite sales conversations. It provides free access to some of the most popular intelligent enterprise demonstration scenarios, covering a wide range of integrated solutions and embedded intelligence technologies. Additional scenarios will be added over time to help partners further enable the intelligent enterprise. Partners can qualify here for SAP Partner Demo Environment, shared option. After qualifying, partners gain free access to demo enablement and a complimentary demo concierge service for guidance and coaching. This can help ensure they have the skills and resources to deliver a frictionless and consistent end-to-end demo experience for their customers.
