Pretoria, 21 Jan 2014
Westrocon, an SAP channel partner, today announced it has received accreditation for a global partner quality programme by SAP AG (NYSE: SAP). The certificate was awarded by the SAP Partner Service Delivery organisation for Westrocon's demonstration of clear quality standards and processes and in recognition of quality, risk and project management framework improvements in alignment with quality principles from SAP.
Westrocon is closely aligned to the key principles of quality that SAP believes to be fundamental to the success of every implementation, designed to deliver high-quality software and support while providing the right processes, tools and services to drive successful projects and delivery.
Businesses today are continually challenged to manage risk in increasingly complex projects. As a certified member of the partner quality programme, Westrocon will be able to help SAP customers avoid escalations, maintain profits, reduce profit dilution and improve successful delivery through the programme life cycle. In addition, the programme offers a quality approach for sales processes and delivery methodologies through access to enhanced SAP channel quality templates and processes. With a distinct focus on quality deliverables, the accreditation also helps partners improve the success of bids by providing a sales differentiator from other partners through quality wording and information, as well as risk mitigation activities.
"This accreditation is a very special milestone for our team and testament to our continuous drive towards service excellence leveraging SAP products and methodologies," said Martin van Wyk, managing director, Westrocon. "By using SAP quality principles, we can better help our customers achieve smooth implementations as we anticipate benefits as measured against business requirements. This accreditation reaffirms the work we do to enable effective implementation of business processes using SAP solutions and to fulfil requirements to the highest standard."
The annual partner quality plan and quarterly quality reviews form the basis of the global partner quality programme by providing a way to monitor joint performance and measure success. Partners are required to submit an annual quality plan to showcase how they will improve quality in their own organisation during the year. In addition, the quarterly quality review enables joint risk monitoring via open bilateral communication as well as identifying and preventing issues.
