WALLDORF, Germany, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP)
today announced plans to offer partners significantly reduced
subscription fees for its test and demonstration environment
licenses. SAP said it also plans to add new information channels to
the "SAP for Me" portal, the digital companion partners can use to
support customer engagement and increase productivity. These new
initiatives extend SAP's 2019 commitment to provide partners with
the resources they need to support their businesses and customers
better.
"We remain committed to helping our partners and customers
easily access the tools they need to move to the cloud, advance
their digital transformations and adapt to remote work
environments," said Karl Fahrbach,
chief partner officer, SAP. "SAP partners remain critical in
driving successful cloud adoption. This suite of new offerings,
particularly the test and demo environments for our cloud
solutions, is designed to continue to lower the barriers for
partners and customers to move to the cloud and support their
journeys to becoming intelligent enterprises."
Several new offerings to help partners adopt solutions and
successfully implement SAP® Business Technology Platform
are now available.
Free Access
Since June
2020 SAP has provided partners free access to SAP Partner
Demo Environment, shared option, an integrated, preconfigured
software demonstration environment to expedite sales conversations.
Today, SAP announced 18 additional live scenarios that show the
value of the intelligent enterprise, bringing the number of offline
demo scenarios available to over 350.
SAP is also offering reduced subscription fees for dedicated
test and demonstration tenants for the SAP Digital Supply Chain
portfolio and the SAP SuccessFactors® Employee Central
Payroll solution. It is planned to add further cloud solutions from
SAP to this offer throughout 2021. Partners can allocate their
market development funds for test and demo licenses. (Partners can
find details on the SAP PartnerEdge® site.)
SAP Business Technology Platform
These test and demo
offerings extend to SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite
powering SAP Business Technology Platform. A free tier model for
the suites was announced at the SAP TechEd event in December 2020. This model is planned to become
available later in 2021. In addition, a consumption-based model
will become available for partners later in 2021. This new
pay-as-you-go option, which calls for partners to pay for only the
services they use, provides flexible access to development, test
and demonstration licensing services for SAP Integration Suite and
SAP Extension Suite. The consumption-based model requires no
up-front payment and calls for a contract runtime of only three
months.
SAP for Me
As an online companion for partners, SAP
for Me provides data for actionable insights, guidance and support
for comprehensive customer engagement. It also helps increase
productivity. New functionalities, such as dynamic cards for sales
professionals and automated reporting elements, are now available
to all partners having a contract with the SAP PartnerEdge program.
Additional insight views will be available throughout 2021. These
include business planning, program and membership information,
cloud product adoption, consultant certification and customer
projects.
SAP Learning Hub
SAP has launched SAP Learning Hub,
partner edition, and expanded its training and certification
programs for cloud solutions from SAP. This new offering, available
exclusively to members of the SAP PartnerEdge program, includes
access to digital enablement content tailored for SAP partners. It
also provides access to live training systems and opportunities to
take practice exams in preparation for earning SAP Global
Certification digital badges. The partner edition of SAP Learning
Hub continues SAP's commitment to equip its partners with the
enablement tools needed for success.
