SAP Cloud Platform

[#1]

Good Morning:

We are TEC, a startup that develops solutions for electricity retailers. We are currently in the sales phase to potential retailers and therefore, we may register as SAP partners (our potential clients could be SAP clients). We are writing to you in reference to some questions in SAP Cloud Platform.

-If we integrate our solution in the 12-month demo, what legal implications would it have? In other words, could we sell our solution to third parties despite having developed the integration of our solution in the SAP environment?.

-The 12-month free trial on SAP Cloud Platform, allows to develop the integration of our solution or is limited.

-The last question is, if we sign up for the demo test, will it then allow us to enroll in the partner program or is it incompatible?

A cordial greeting.

Hi,

As an existing SAP partner that has developed an application using the trial platform and then migrated it over to a partner account when we found a customer willing to pay for it, I can confirm this approach works.

However, we did not use the trial for customer demos, so would be interested to understand what the restrictions are there. (Our development on trial was the migration of an existing Neo app to Cloud Foundry.)

However, I would caution you about the amount of time that it takes to get that partner account activated. The process of becoming an SAP Partner is also not the speediest thing in the world. It is certainly not a "press a button" type interaction. If you allow plenty of time for these two items, then using the trial for prototyping is a good fit.

Good luck, I hope you become part of the SAP developer community!
