Britehouse SSD, Britehouse Holdings' SAP Solution Division, has become a SAP value added reseller (VAR), positioning it as the only company in Africa able to offer the complete spectrum of SAP cloud, mobile, analytics, applications, database and technology services, and outsource support solutions.
"Our focus has always been on helping organisations run optimally, and in today's business world, that includes enabling them to prepare now for tomorrow's business models and market challenges - at least cost and with minimal effort," says Britehouse SSD CEO, Paolo Masselli.
"The best way to do that is to equip them to innovate. We achieve that by giving them access to every SAP option available right now, as well as those that will become relevant in the future. Because SAP invests vast resources in accurately mapping the future of business and technology, organisations that have the right combination of its products and services are ideally placed to be a best-run enterprise.
"The one aspect of SAP that we didn't have in our stable was SAP software sales. So we spent 2011 building a team dedicated to SAP value added reselling and signed our VAR agreement with SAP early in 2012.
"Britehouse now fits very snugly into the new SAP indirect business model focused on offering the world's best business solutions through the best partners and service providers."
As a SAP Africa service alliance partner and a SAP Africa SME business partner, Britehouse has the highest in-country SAP partnership certification. Among its extensive range of product or solution specific certifications, Britehouse can lay claim to being Africa's only SAP-certified cloud services partner, South Africa's largest and most successful SAP Analytics partner, SAP's first and only African partner to have achieved advanced hosting certification, and has achieved RunSAP and Partner Centre of Expertise (PCOE) certification.
"We are the first and only SAP partner to have achieved the coveted Cloud Services and Hosting Partnership status with SAP on the African continent, which we complement with certifications and accreditations across the whole business platform, business process, business continuity, and security solution stack," says Britehouse virtual Platform Solutions (vPS) MD, Henry Varges. "This gives our clients the formal comfort of knowing that we can actually do what we promise to do.
"Specifically, it assures them that we can confidently and securely help them spend less money running their current technology, thereby freeing up for them the money they need to spend on the future technology. Their IT spend needs to shift from a maintenance focus, limited to trying to reduce complexity, cost, time, and risk, towards making themselves more competitive, by having the capacity to innovate, change, and collaborate - at speed. The end game of which, of course, is new business, and therefore, growth, all at a lower total cost of ownership!
"Now, as a SAP VAR, we can provide organisations with every SAP solution they might ever need, being able to build, run, and manage from cradle to grave whatever combination of SAP products, services, and solutions they need to be optimally competitive. We connect all the competitive dots for them, getting them ready today for tomorrow."
