KB 122 - PowerConnect is SAP certified. Great! Why should you care?
Advantages of SAP Certified Partner Solutions:
SAP Integrations and Certification Center ( SAP ICC ) ensures that certified partner solutions demonstrate high quality and compatibility with SAP products. For instance, SAP is adding thousands of customers to S/4 HANA every 10 months and SAP ICC ensures that the partner add-on do not derail the project/process of migration and/or adaptation.
SAP-certified solutions offer the following additional benefits to customers:
Reduced implementation effort: Customers can save on total cost of ownership and cut integration costs by taking advantage of pre-tested integration with SAP solutions.
Accelerate innovation: Certified solutions follow SAP standards for technical integration and if re-certified on a regular basis can allow for upgrades with minimal interruptions.
Product and software component versions that are certified by us are visible in SAP Solution Manager, helping to speed up support issues.
SAP Supports its customers and partners via XX-PROJ-AAK component. SAP team can also be reached out to provide solutions which are within SAP's scope.
