Last, but definitely not least, was the highly sought after Regional MD Awards category, which saw Indra (East Africa), Nosmay (West Africa) and Roff (Francophone) walk away with the award.

The criteria all nominees and winners have to conform to are not for the faint of heart and all nominees have to excel in the building of revenue, customer growth, increase in joint channel activities and even the adherence to ongoing attendance to courses that ensure they are current in all SAP technologies.

“SAP chooses the winners based upon four factors, which are co-innovation, market expansion, service delivery and sustainability. In order to make the best decision, we consult with our own customers as well as field leaders, industry experts and also analyse the key performance indicators of the nominees,” explains Desmond Nair, Director General Business & Partner Ecosystem at SAP Africa.
