SAP and Partners – Meeting Small and Midsize Companies' Business Needs Together

Why are we putting so much effort into capturing the small and midsize market opportunity? Because SAP believes that with your partnership we can help any business, regardless of its size, become a best-run business. We have the right offerings. And with the right partners, there's practically no limit to the number of small businesses and midsize companies that can take advantage of world-class business management software from SAP.

Small businesses and midsize companies are increasingly embracing SAP solutions. Our small business customers have increased by 35% in the last year. And our midsize business customers have increased close to 20% growth. Currently more than 75% of existing SAP customers are small businesses or midsize companies – and they have engaged with an authorized SAP partner.

Why Partner With SAP?

When you're looking for the right software company partnership, you probably ask a lot of questions. Will you get the right kind of support for sales, marketing, and development? Will the partner program help you be more competitive, more successful? Can you offer customers products that truly address their needs? When you're selected to join SAP as a channel partner and become part of the award-winning SAP PartnerEdge program, the answer to all these questions is yes. From a list of more than 250 vendors, our program was one of just 10 awarded the 5-Star Gold overall winner rating in 2007 by VARBusiness magazine, a highly respected channel media outlet.

Here's Where You Come In

Our goal is to have 100,000 customers by 2010. To reach it, we need a strong channel partner network. That's why we created the SAP PartnerEdge program – to draw partners who are highly committed and highly qualified – and equipped with the right framework, tools, and resources to capture the enormous opportunities.
