Thousands of customers benefit from our ongoing roadmap alignment and co-innovation with SAP to successfully navigate the digital world.”

SAP presents these awards annually to the top partners that have excelled in developing and growing their partnership with SAP and helping customers run better. Winners and finalists in 19 categories were chosen based on recommendations from the SAP field, customer feedback and performance indicators, including a Customers’ Choice award, which recognizes a customer-nominated SAP partner.

Through the OpenText and SAP partnership, customers have made dramatic improvements across a wide range of areas that positively impact relationships with their customers, employees, partners, suppliers and regulatory agencies. SAP Solution Extensions are part of the OpenText EIM strategy, enabling organizations to discover and manage information to spur growth and innovation and decrease time to competitive advantage.
