Silverhedge One Solutions, the appointed SAP Africa value-added distributor of SAP Business One in Sub-Saharan Africa, was awarded the winning position in the Top Distributor SME Business Applications category at a gala function hosted by CRN Magazine last night.
Stefan Diedericks, CEO of Silverhedge One Solutions, said he is elated the company has been recognised by its reseller partner network, which now spans more than 45 partners across Africa, as the leading SME solutions distributor.
He added that although Silverhedge One Solutions is only two years old, it has consistently placed a large focus on maintaining good business relationships with all its partners by ensuring continued collaboration at all levels within its partner network.
"Our success is backed up by the fact that we did not only concentrate on our vendors and resellers, but also on partners that might not be considered standard, like end-users," he explains. Furthermore, Stefan Diedericks ascribes a large part of the organisation's success to its ability to listen to its vendors and reseller partners.
As the sole distributor for SAP Business One in French and English speaking Africa, the company has gained a competitive advantage over the past two years by also listening to the needs of the end-user and thereby playing a major role in ensuring that users are properly trained on the solutions.
Silverhedge One Solutions has also been working closely with SAP's PartnerEdge Programme in order to ensure a value-adding partner programme is rolled out to the partner set across Africa in 2007.
As part of its strategy in 2007, Silverhedge One Solutions will focus on entrenching itself as leader in the SAP SME solutions and related product space. Stefan Diedericks adds that "concentrating on adding value for all its business partners will keep the company in its leading position".
