Barrenechea. "On behalf of our joint customers, we are honored to receive the SAP Pinnacle Award. We remained focused on working with SAP to support our customers throughout the seminal moments of today, and to capture the promise or tomorrow."

The SAP Solution Extension Partner of the Year award recognizes an SAP partner that offers solution extensions for SAP software in the Platforms and Technology (On Premise). The winning partner is selected based on technology innovation, market impact, and demonstration of customer impact. OpenText is SAP’s largest solution extension partner, delivering highly integrated solutions that provide an information advantage to businesses using SAP technology.

“Our industry has seen a lot of change over the past decade, but what hasn’t changed is the strength and scale of our ecosystem,” said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP. “Partners are the heart and soul of our vision for the Intelligent Enterprise and play an important role in turning this vision into reality for our customers. We look forward to continuing to work with OpenText to help our customers succeed – now and in the future.”

Sharn Gamman, Commercial Operations Process and Training Manager at Foodstuffs North Island, a grocery co-operative, commented, “Our stores are our stakeholders and we essentially provide a service to them. When we recognized an opportunity to improve accounts processing and positively impact store cash flow, we decided to take action to digitize processes using OpenText. There is now a very strong focus on efficiency and cost savings, and low-cost purchasing models in our support center. The integrated OpenText Suite for SAP solution has helped us do this and extract even more value from our SAP implementation.”
