SAP SE said that SAP App Center now provides customers with real-time access to innovative partner solutions that complement and extend their SAP solutions, enabling digital transformation of their business.
SAP App Center customers can buy solutions directly from partners and centrally manage purchases, billing and vendor communications. The announcement was made at the SAP Global Partner Summit on May 15, 2017, in Orlando.
“We are making it easier for our customers to find, acquire and manage great solutions from our broad ecosystem of strategic solution partners including startups, independent software vendors, and services and technology partners,” said Diane Fanelli, GM, Global Channels and Platform at SAP.
“We made SAP App Center more compatible with our customers’ procurement processes and more robust for our partners to engage with SAP customers.”
New features of SAP App Center include:
Broad SAP ecosystem coming together in one place: With more than 1,300 partner applications, SAP App Center makes it easier to discover and try new technologies to expand all SAP offerings including SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Hybris, SAP Ariba, and SAP Analytics solutions.
Enterprise marketplace: Two-tiered and enterprise-grade procurement and payment methods include SAP Ariba solutions for payment and support for global procurement with multicurrency, POs and credit cards.
Digital transformation acceleration: The combination of SAP S/4HANA, SAP Cloud Platform and cloud line-of-business solutions from SAP along with the multiplier of the thousands of partner apps in the ecosystem provides support for bimodal architecture for compatibility and agility — ultimately enabling innovation without disruption.
