SAP-qualified partner-packaged solutions is a powerful way that can help partners grow their business.


By leveraging this packaging, partners can expand their reach, enhance their offerings, and better serve their customers.

Built, sold, and supported by SAP partners, these integrated solutions combine SAP software with industry or line-of-business expertise, services, customizations, or applications – so customers can run at their best, regardless of their company size.

  • Rapid implementation based on a proven methodology and a predefined scope



  • Clear and predictable implementation without the risk



  • Fast time to value by packaging software and services together


There are more than 1,000 qualified solutions created by more than 500 partners to choose from.

This approach frees up IT resources for more strategic initiatives, and adds significant value to project outcomes.

The result is highly effective, with a rapid implementation time and fast time-to-value.

This also presents an excellent opportunity for SAP partners to grow and scale their business in the cloud.

Real-life use cases

The SAP-Qualified Partner-Packaged Solution is based on SAP Ariba Sourcing solution and integration with customers ERP. It is managed by SAP BTP CPI, which is key for master data mapping and allowing the ERP to understand information from Cloud systems such is SAP Ariba.
