Certification Logos
Once the integration has been successfully tested by SAP ICC, SAP provides "SAP Certified" logos to make it more transparent how a third-party solution connects with SAP products.

The "SAP Certified" designation is not liberally awarded. Certified solution providers must put their solution integration through stringent qualification procedures to earn this designation. The SAP Integration and Certification Center tests that integration is based on SAP-endorsed integration technologies before awarding the SAP certified status.
