SAP Americas Announces Small and Midsize (SME) Partner Award Winners

by Saswato Das

SAP America, Inc. and SAP Canada, Inc., subsidiaries of SAP AG, named the winners of its 2007 Small and Midsize Enterprise (SME) Business Partner Awards, recognizing the top-performing partners in the United States and Canada within the SAP(R) PartnerEdge(TM) program, an innovative global framework that recognizes and rewards partners for their commitment and success in serving small businesses and midsize companies.

SAP presented the awards in Las Vegas, Nevada during its 2008 Field Kick Off Meeting (FKOM), an annual gathering of the company's field employees and partners to learn about SAP's sales methodology, best practices and new developments regarding its complete roster of business solutions for small businesses and midsize companies, including SAP(R) Business One, SAP(R) Business All-in-One and the recently announced SAP(R) Business ByDesign(TM). This year's FKOM hosted more than 600 partner attendees, a 10 percent increase over the previous year's attendance.

Selected from the company's wide-ranging North American partner base of SAP Business All-in-One providers and SAP Business One partners, nominations were evaluated on numerous criteria to determine winning partners in each product category. SAP Business ByDesign categories and awards will be incorporated into the company's 2008 SME Business Partner Awards activities. Below is a list of this year's winners.
