Britehouse SSD today announced it is a 2013 SAP Pinnacle award finalist in the VAR/Reseller of the Year category. SAP Pinnacle awards are presented annually to leading SAP partners that have excelled in developing and growing their partnership with SAP (NYSE: SAP) and driving customer success.

Finalists and winners in 19 categories were based on field recommendations, customer feedback and performance indicators in the following four categories: co-innovation, market expansion, service delivery and sustainability.

"Being named as a finalist for the 2013 SAP Pinnacle awards in our first year as a value-added reseller for the SAP Business All-in-One application and SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions, is a significant achievement for Britehouse. It certainly sets a high standard that we have every intention of maintaining. Our relationship with SAP through the ecosystem and channels team and our partner account manager were certainly keys to us achieving this success. We look forward to partnering with SAP in the future," said Bani Kgosana, Director at Britehouse SSD.

Britehouse SSD has been a SAP services partner for more than five years[CT1], and in 2012, the organisation took the decision to become a SAP channel partner, reselling the SAP Business All-in-One application and SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions. Having both of these partnerships with SAP has enabled Britehouse to extend its excellent relationship with SAP from one that was limited to influencing customers to purchase and implement SAP's software applications, to actually selling software licences as a value-added reseller for SAP solutions.

"Britehouse customers have certainly seen the benefits of being able to purchase SAP software from Britehouse and also use the well-established Britehouse implementation services for their implementation projects. With Britehouse having recently achieved Partner Centre of Expertise certification [CT2] from SAP AG, Britehouse has been verified as offering support to its customers in accordance with SAP's current technical and organisational standards," said Kgosana.
