Who Can Join?

To extend SAP's reach into the SME market, the SAP Referral program rewards members that refer new opportunities to SAP. The program is an important driver to help SAP reach our goal of having 100,000 customers by 2010. Within the program, SAP seeks to recruit members with key disciplines that play important roles as influencers and trusted advisors for our client markets in the SME target market. One of the key objectives of the SAP Referral program is to leverage the SAP ecosystem to increase market coverage and reward members accordingly for adding value to this ecosystem.

Members of the SAP Referral program can be companies that support small businesses and midsize companies, including solution providers, business or IT consultants, hardware resellers, accountancy firms, and financial institutions.

• Company must have a valid Canadian tax ID number

• E-mail addresses used for the program must be valid company e-mail addresses
