Zensar Technologies, a leading global technology and business process company, today announced it is now a SAP gold partner within the SAP PartnerEdge programme, signed under the “strategic partner initiative” of SAP Americas to bring cutting-edge, innovative solutions to small and midmarket companies across the US.
Zensar will deliver “one-stop” domain expertise in support of SAP solutions for the small business and midsize enterprise (SME) segment in the US, including SAP Business One, SAP Business All-in-One and SAP BusinessObjects business intelligence (BI) solutions.
Zensar supports customers in vertical industries, including life sciences, textiles, apparel and footwear, engineering, food and dairy and retail, helping companies to consistently meet their business objectives by integrating shop-floor information with enterprise systems.
The overall goal of SAP's strategic partner initiative is to help enterprises in the midmarket segment reduce costs, optimise asset utilisation, meet customer requirements, and surpass quality and compliance objectives. Partners participating in this initiative provide customers in this segment with enhanced operations intelligence, 360-degree views into operations, and tight integration between planning, execution and business processes. The result is the delivery of cost-effective, efficient and co-ordinated “sense and response” solutions that meet customers' demands.
The framework of the strategic partner initiative will help Zensar and SAP ramp up business quickly in all traditional industry sectors across the SME solution portfolio. The companies will co-operate in marketing activities, lead sharing and customer referrals. Zensar is also making targeted investments in specific US regions, industries and solutions in conjunction with SAP.
In addition, Zensar is participating as a “master” value-added reseller (master VAR) for SAP, working with its own partners as their sponsor in the SAP Extended Business programme, an important role in expanding the SAP ecosystem. Members of the SAP Extended Business programme work directly with SAP channel partners to promote, implement or develop solutions for the SME segment. Zensar is actively engaged with its own partners as part of this programme, and is currently building, managing and developing its own network of members of the SAP Extended Business programme. Zensar has already leveraged many projects with its sponsored members of the SAP Extended Business programme.
“The strategic partner initiative provides a great opportunity for us to further consolidate our business organically in the US, in support of SAP solutions,” said Nitin Parab, chief executive, Enterprise Application Services, Zensar. “The initiative leverages the strengths of Zensar's qualified SAP Business All-in-One partner solutions in various verticals and SAP's wide ranging portfolio of SME solutions to bring innovative, vertical solutions closer to reality for subsidiaries of global enterprises and midsize companies across the US.”
“The partnership with Zensar is important to our existing joint customers, as it leverages efficiencies and competitiveness of their organisations in the re-use and deployment of technology-enabled solutions for micro-vertical industries,” said Kevin Gilroy, senior vice-president, Ecosystem and Channel, SAP North America. “Zensar's involvement in the strategic partner initiative and role as a master VAR in the US represents another strong step forward in SAP's ecosystem strategy. By teaming with partners such as Zensar, we can further deliver innovative solutions to midmarket customers.”
