TDS named SAP Innovative Reseller of the Year for EMEA and DACH Regions

TDS has been named Innovative Reseller of the Year. CEO Dr. Heiner Diefenbach accepted the SAP Partner Impact Award 2012 for the EMEA and DACH Regions in late January at an SAP event in Milan. The prize is in recognition of last year’s outstandingly successful sales partnership between the two companies. As an end-to-end IT and HR service provider, TDS has over 25 years’ experience with SAP, and has long been an SAP Gold Partner.

“Over the last year, we worked with our parent company Fujitsu at our SAP HANA Demo & Competence Centre to develop innovative solutions for deployment of SAP in-memory computingtechnology and the SAP HANA platform. We enable customers to make important decisions that shape the success of their business, based on real-time data,” explains Dr. Heiner Diefenbach. “We’re glad that our partner, SAP, has recognized this achievement.”

“The commitment shown by our partners is a key factor in our customers’ success, and SAP’s market position,” states Luis Murguia, Senior Vice President, Ecosystem & Channels, at SAP EMEA. “The winners of the SAP Partner Impact Awards 2012 demonstrated exceptional expertise and made a significant contribution as SAP partners – promoting pioneering co-innovation and opening up new market opportunities.”
