Why did you apply for SAP Certification for Outsourcing Partners?

The offering of SAP Certification for Outsourcing Partners is an external and objective appreciation of the quality of service oXya delivers globally. oXya has applied for this program since 2006 as it ensures its clients of its SAP expertise and ability in providing the best managed services in all its locations. These certifications also confirm oXya’s commitment to following SAP best practices and complying with client requirements.

 

How has the certification helped you enhance your managed services offerings and go-to-market activities?

Thanks to the SAP Certification for Outsourcing Partners, oXya is recognized as a preferred partner. oXya has increased its visibility amongst SAP customers, bringing it more opportunities to expand globally.

 

How has your journey through the certifications been? (e.g., the evolution of certifications, for how many years have you been in the certification program, etc...)

oXya has been part of the SAP Certification for Outsourcing Partners since 2006 when it obtained its first SAP Hosting operations certification (France), which it has successfully renewed every two years since. In 2012, oXya added the SAP Cloud operations (France) certification.

Following its acquisition by Hitachi in 2015, oXya expanded the scope of its certifications globally and completed the SAP HANA operations certification. Since 2016, oXya has had these three global active SAP outsourcing operations certifications (SAP hosting operations, SAP Cloud operation and SAP HANA operations).

 

How have the SAP Certifications for Outsourcing Partners helped you to improve the service improvement process?

The certifications for Outsourcing Partners are completed after a thorough audit by SAP of our services, after which SAP provides a report detailing our performance and listing recommendations for future improvements.

Throughout the years, these reports have boosted our efforts to launch and develop our oXya Cloud as a great and secure alternative hosting solution for our customers. It has helped us improve our international coordination and confirmed our decision to implement several ITIL processes such as change management.

These biennial reviews with SAP also made us aware of how important HANA would become. It allowed oXya always to be in the forefront in terms of training and technical investments in HANA, S/4HANA and SUSE.

Obtaining these certifications, on top of oXya’s ISO 27001 and ISAE 3402 certification, has allowed oXya to prove to its customers that its main priority has always been its quality of service. SAP recommendations have enabled oXya to pinpoint specific areas in which it has been able to improve its service.

 

“SAP Certifications for Outsourcing Partners are a recognition of oXya’s SAP expertise and commitment in providing the best SAP services to our customers. It confirms that all our processes meet SAP’s very high standards and help oXya continually to improve its services. Since its foundation, oXya’s mission has always been to help organizations increase their efficiency and flexibility by providing SAP customers with a wide range of technical services, managed services, and cloud solutions.”Geert Vandendorpe, CEO, oXya.

“The biennial process with the teams of SAP Certification for Outsourcing Partners has always been very enriching for oXya.

These reviews also allowed us to invest early in technologies such as SAP HANA, SAP S/4HANA, and SUSE and to anticipate market developments.”Frédéric de Belloy, President, oXya.
