SAP had one of the best years in 2016 with their stock reaching highest market value ever. That means that SAP is one of best positioned software companies to lead enterprise digital transformation.
SAP officially recognized Softtek, one of its key partners in LATAM, with eight awards, including 4 partner awards in Argentina, 3 awards in Mexico, and one in Chile. No other partner received that many awards in the region.
Softtek is prevailing over other consulting competitors because of global presence, offer maturity, strong capability, innovation and a world-class customer base. Our SAP practice started in 1994 in Softtek, and it is one of the most important offerings in the company.
The SAP Cloud Partner Award in Mexico is just a start= to our consolidation as a leader in LATAM. We’re expanding our SAP practice in the US, our largest market in terms of revenue, as well as in Europe and Asia.
SAP Partner Recognition
At SAP’s 10th annual partner kickoff in Argentina, SAP awarded Softtek with the Higher Achiever award as best channel for sales volume in the South America region, in addition to the General Business award for most mid-market sales, the Linearity award for sales consistency, and the HANA sales award.
In Mexico SAP awarded Softtek 3 SAP partner awards for Cloud Services, Ariba and SAP Success Factors.
Finally, in Chile SAP awarded Softtek the “Born Star” award.
Softtek Instrumental in SAP’s South America Market Penetration
The awards reflect Softtek’s relationship with SAP from the beginning as one of its earliest partners, even before SAP implemented its partner program for Spanish-speaking South America dating back to 1994.
Javier Porretti, Softtek Partner and Director of Business Development for Argentina, said: “We have been working with SAP in the spirit of an integration partner even before SAP had a formal partner program…when Softtek introduced its partner program in Argentina in 2006 it just codified what Softtek had already been doing with SAP.”
Mauro Mattioda, Regional CEO of Softtek South America, said: “Being named SAP’s number one partner in Argentina, as well as becoming a Microsoft LSP (Licensing Solutions Provider), and the combination of services from both companies (HANA/Azure), with a significant services component, like SOD (Softtek On Demand), and the managed Platform, reflects how services are adding value through diversification and technological innovation, and is allowing us to become leaders in Cloud offerings.”
Ricardo Trevizo, Softtek SAP Director for Mexico and Central America said, “We had our best year ever in Softtek Mexico history, and it’s just the beginning. We are very proud of our SAP Cloud Partner of the year and we are celebrating our Ariba and Success Factors Awards as well”
Softtek Globalization Supported by LATAM Leadership
Softtek has been consolidating its SAP offering and leadership throughout Latin America and expanding services to US, Europe and Asia.
The strong US dollar makes us more competitive than ever. Our service model delivering projects and support services, combined with our local presence in LATAM, is part of what makes us unique. Companies are increasingly concerned about their competitiveness and continuity. Softtek’s 5-year transformation vision is “Transforming the future into the present.”
We are expecting an even better 2017, considering Brazilian, Argentina and Colombia economic recoveries. Meanwhile the US Market maintains a strong organic growth and European operations stable.
We see a bright future with Enterprise Transformation leveraging cloud, digital and analytics vision of the future. More than ever, companies in Latin America need to transform to stay competitive. SAP HANA has proven to be a solution and can generate important competitive advantage.
We are very proud of our best year to date in total number of SAP awards. We believe this is a significant turning point for our SAP leadership in SAP services in LATAM and globally. Thanks to our consultants, customers, employees and executive leadership. Happy 2017!
