We previously covered SAP’s services partner network (https://alten.capital/blog/sap-consulting-partner-ecosystem-update). SAP's partner ecosystem continues to grow, reaching approximately ~3,200 consulting and implementation partners worldwide. Below is an update on SAP's services partner network.
Over the past year, SAP added ~171 services partners (6% growth), with the highest growth in North America.
Mid-sized services partners represented SAP's highest growth category. Even so, the smallest tier added the most partners in absolute terms, growing by 58 firms, over a third of the ecosystem's total net growth this year.
Europe continues to account for the largest share of SAP consulting partners, with 1,400 companies representing 44% of the global partner base. North America follows with 629 partners, representing 20%.
The partner base remains concentrated among niche services businesses. Companies with fewer than 50 employees account for 45% of SAP’s consulting partners, while 84% have fewer than 500 employees.
