The maker of esoteric business software which no-one really understands, SAP, has launched an innovation programme for its partners.
The programme means that they can build and go to market with new applications that augment the rich functionality of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. The partner innovation programme is designed for customers in micro verticals within priority industries, such as professional services and manufacturing.
The programme will help partners extend the intelligent capabilities of SAP S/4HANA Cloud using the open and agile SAP Cloud Platform. SAP said that its S/4HANA Cloud SDK, a software development kit that supplies partners with all the productivity tools and templates they need for quick innovations, makes the development process even faster.
SAP will co-market the solutions with partners to help them drive new business growth and profitability.
SAP initially involve select partners and then extend the programme in the second half of 2019 to all partners focused on SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Franck Cohen, president, Digital Core & Industry Solutions, SAP said: “Many of our customers are asking for an intelligent enterprise resource planning solution that addresses not only broader industry needs but also supports their unique micro-vertical business challenges. They want a solution from out of the box to help them thrive. The SAP ecosystem and partners – one of the most robust networks of its kind in the world – will play a critical role in helping us meet the needs of our customers in particular markets. We are committed to empowering and supporting our partners, so they can successfully build and market solutions that are complementary to our core SAP S/4HANA Cloud software.”
