In order to better explain to our readers what exactly this award from SAP is all about, we talked to our expert – Kamil Suszko, SAP Basis Manager at Hicron.
Hicron among the top SAP BTP experts
On August 20, 2024 we were once again recognized by SAP. This time we received an Accelerator Package in the form of the VPUC (Validated Partner Use Case). Additionally, our organization achieved the highest level of competence in SAP Business Technology Platform implementations – the Expert level. Read on to find out what this means for our Clients!
VPUC, which stands for Validated Partner Use Case, is an SAP service provider package that ensures all the resources needed to accelerate the entire SAP Business Technology Platform implementation process for the offered Use Case. This means that the SAP partners who receive this designation are among the most effective SAP BTP providers. Working with an organization that has been designated by SAP as VPUC guarantees a much shorter and more efficient implementation process for SAP Business Technology Platform solutions, as well as the most comprehensive and professional services in this area.
What is the basis on which SAP granted us the VPUC? What does this mean for us?
SAP grants the VPUC based on the so-called Nomination Form. HICRON expressed its willingness to receive the VPUC as a solution that proved to be effective and brought real benefits to the Client. This particular Use Case can be applied to the systems of other Clients with similar business needs. By awarding the VPUC, SAP accredits such an undertaking.
For Hicron, this is a distinction and confirmation of our competencies at the “Expert” level (Competency & Specialization). At this point, such a title requires an SAP partner to have at least one so-called “Partner IP”. Partner IP is an owned VPUC or the publication of a partner solution in the SAP Store, or a Qualified Partner Package Solution. By obtaining the VPUC, we have proven our expertise in providing services as part of SAP BTP.
How does SAP decide who receives the VPUC and how do they assess the partner’s level of competence in providing SAP BTP services?
A partner applying for the VPUC should contact SAP using the form mentioned above. SAP receives such an application and verifies the partner’s actions during a meeting with an SAP representative. At that meeting, the vendor’s representative asks questions about the solution and verifies it. If the SAP representative determines that the company applying for the VPUC meets the vendor’s requirements, the company is eligible to receive the VPUC. If the application passes verification, the partner will receive a congratulatory e-mail from SAP within a few days, confirming their inclusion in the group of the best experts in the market for providing SAP BTP services.
How can we at Hicron use our VPUC title in our future activities?
The best answer to this question will be a quote from SAP’s congratulatory e-mail:
“We look forward to working jointly in the future on documenting customer success stories based on your SAP-validated partner use case.
Once again, we thank you for your partnership, and wish you continued success as you leverage the SAP-validated partner use case to drive incremental, repeatable, business .”
For Hicron, this means that we have the highest competencies recognized by SAP to carry out SAP BTP service implementation projects for our Clients. Moreover, according to the vendor, our activities contribute to the development of high-quality business processes, which accelerates the development of our organization, but also of our Clients’ companies.
How can this title and distinctions from SAP impact our Clients’ businesses?
This type of recognition from SAP confirms the expertise of our work, which is in line with the spirit and philosophy of SAP solutions. The awards granted by the vendor of the solutions we offer to implement are proof of our commitment to this type of projects and our full professionalism.
How did our employees contribute to these awards? How did our teams of specialists earn SAP’s recognition?
Our teams earned this title just like all the others – with professionalism, expertise, and dedication. The work we do on our Clients’ systems is always done to professional standards, bringing innovation and real business value to our Clients. SAP has confirmed this by awarding us the VPUC.
What would you like to say at the end, in the context of such an important moment for us?
I think it is worth emphasizing once again that for Hicron the VPUC means joining the group of partners who are experts in providing SAP BTP services. This means that we are currently one of the best in this field on the market and we can be proud of it.
And how did we do it? We earned this distinction through professional management of projects supervised by certified consultants. Thanks to the right approach, listening to our Clients’ needs, and meeting SAP requirements – our activities have also been based on our innovative solutions.
However, we do not stop there, as we are constantly implementing new projects in the area of RISE with SAP as well as BTP and HXM. Finally, it should be remembered that Hicron is one of the leaders on the SAP HXM implementation market, which, together with our expertise in SAP BTP implementations, gives us a really solid background for carrying out advanced and innovative projects, crowned with many successes. And the successful implementations for our Clients are our successes!
