SAP PartnerEdge Program: Exclusive Partnerships, Inclusive Benefits

The SAP PartnerEdge program offers benefits that other partner programs don't:

• Powerful sales and collaboration tools
• Education and training
• An unsaturated marketplace
• Extra flexibility
• Market development funds to help you cultivate business

SAP goes beyond rewarding sales volume and revenue to recognizing solution development, customer satisfaction, education, and training. You can access a portfolio of best-of-breed technical and program support services, as well as your own service advisor.

We reward partners based on a value points system. With SAP PartnerEdge, that system isn't just based on selling. It recognizes and rewards partnership based on merit, not on your company's size or type.

SAP PartnerEdge has three tiers of partnership: Associate, Silver, and Gold. Partners advance from one level to the next upon earning value points in two categories:

• Business performance and transactions – Accumulating SAP license sales to new or current customers and the sales of add-ons or new certified or qualified solutions
• Capability building – Submitting success stories or technology white papers, providing customer references, taking part in the SAP PartnerEdge P2P Network for business collaboration, adding trained and certified employees, taking higher-level sales or technical exams, and more.

Funding Included

You can earn market development funds and business development funds for selling SAP software licenses or developing add-ons to a qualified or certified solution, as well as for participating in special programs and initiatives. Our claims process is simple and offers liberal deadlines. You can use the funds for up to 18 months after you've earned them.

Knowledge Included

The SAP PartnerEdge program enables you to leverage SAP's 30-plus years of experience, as well as our worldwide network of partners. Additionally, through the SAP PartnerEdge P2P Network, you learn from and do business with highly trained and authorized partners around the world.
