SAP has announced the 2016 recipients of its prestigious SAP Pinnacle Awards, recognising the partners that have made the highest level of contribution to global customer success and innovation.
Based on recommendations from the SAP field, customer feedback and performance indicators, winners and finalists were announced in 19 categories under the umbrella categories of build, service and sell.
Each category includes a customers’ choice winner. In the build awards, Hewlett Packard Enterprise was named winner of the customers’ choice award, while in the service awards this honour went to Capgemini, and in the sell awards it was awarded to Vision33.
“This is a milestone moment for Vision33; to be nominated by our valued customers is an honour and speaks to the strength of the mutually beneficial partnerships we maintain,” said Alex Rooney, vice president, Vision33.
Deloitte won awards for both SAP S/4HANA Adoption Partner of the Year and Workforce Partner of the Year. Announcing the first award, Jan Waals, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and global SAP practice leader, said: “This Pinnacle Award recognises the value that we place on collaborating with SAP to make SAP S/4HANA the premier solutions platform for transforming the enterprise today.”
