Achieving the SAP on Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialization status is a testament to a partner’s skills, knowledge, and demonstrated experience in integrating solutions provided by SAP on Azure cloud.
Organisations are now looking for a partner with specialised expertise to shift and upgrade their existing SAP infrastructure in the cloud, with key SAP products being optimised for the SAP HANA database and given the fact that mainstream support for the SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) platform will end in 2027. Committed to helping customers in various industries, oXya, a Hitachi Group Company, is one of many SAP partners that utilise its capabilities to facilitate transformation projects — notably those involving the migration to SAP S/4HANA and other cloud platforms.
Since its inception in 1998 and acquisition by Hitachi Group in 2015, oXya has been running SAP and other business-critical workloads for large and middle-sized enterprises worldwide. The IT firm is a long-standing partner of SAP, delivering a wide range of SAP technical services, cloud solutions, and managed services through its diverse business operations and local support teams in the US, UK, Canada, Spain, Belgium, France, China, and Japan.
Earning the SAP on Azure Advanced Specialization Status
Recently, oXya made an announcement that it has earned the SAP on Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialization. The status validates the company’s ability to combine the flexibility of Microsoft Azure with its strong technical expertise of SAP in order to provide customers with a quick response for their needs. Thrilled to be receiving the latest certification, Geert Vandendorpe, Chief Executive Officer at oXya, stated that this recognises the company’s dedication to successfully managing and moving SAP customers to Microsoft Azure. He further shared:
“Since its foundation, oXya’s mission has been to help organisations increase their efficiency and flexibility by providing SAP customers with a range of technical services, managed services, and cloud solutions. Our customers, who give us a 99{aa282f308afcc222aaa21b0478c79e01a8fedd01972e2180867097bd93930f22} satisfaction rating, consider that oXya gives them more agility to adapt to market changes,” Vandendorpe further shared.
Vandendorpe explained that oXya was accredited by a third-party external audit firm, which verified that all of their processes adhere to the high standards set by Microsoft Azure. Along with its SAP on Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialization status, the company is also a Microsoft Gold Cloud Platform and Gold Application Development Partner.
Reinforcing Commitment to Providing Value to Customers
Meanwhile, oXya Deputy Chief Technology Officer Matthieu Petitprez stated that Microsoft Azure provides significant value to its SAP customers by incorporating enterprise IT technologies, such as Microsoft Office 365 and Active Directory. He added:
“For these reasons, more and more companies make the choice of Azure to embrace their vision for the future. At oXya, we have migrated multiple customers, from industries such as manufacturing, retail, water and waste management, services, and more.”
Commenting on the announcement, Microsoft Corporate Vice President of Global Partner Solutions and Channel Sales Rodney Clark remarked:
“The SAP on Microsoft Azure advanced specialization highlights the partners who can be viewed as most capable when it comes to migrating enterprise SAP applications over to Azure.”
According to Clark, oXya has the necessary knowledge and experience to provide clients with a comprehensive and professional SAP to cloud-managed service, as evidenced by their demonstration. Other partners that have successfully completed the stringent validation process and earned the same certification include Capgemini Technology Services, Delaware Consulting, and Cloud4C, one of the leading global premium suppliers for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (SAP HEC).
