SAP OFFERS BYD CHANNEL PORTAL Featured

SAPA recent PR pitch sounded more promising that it is apparently is in talking about  SAP's Business ByDesign. The approach starts out talking about the woe-beset package being put in the midmarket "where it is bound to thrive." It also talks about driving partner sales and its end-to-end enablement program that will provide a more "personalized approach to answering partner queries." This, it turns out, is a new portal that will provide a place for channel members to reach SAP experts and get questions answered.

ByD always tends to look like the bit in the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" in which an elderly man is carried to the death cart. "I'm dead yet," he protests. I wish the people recruiting channel members well. Most resellers that took on the product in one of its prior lives are still trying to heal the burns on their hands. The total once hit about 250. The company's partner finder now produces 17 reseller names in the United States, one of them Eide Bailly, which did not include the line in its Top 100 submission or on its website. But it also does not include Navigator Business Solutions which does handle the cloud product. I do note that two years ago I wrote there were 20 VARs that popped up on a search.
