A company of distinction: SAP system house T.CON becomes SAP gold partner in record time

The SAP system house T.CON GmbH & Co. KG in Plattling, Germany has just become a gold partner of SAP Deutschland AG & Co. KG. The SAP consulting service provider achieved the highest SAP Channel Partner status in less than 12 months after taking part in the SAP PartnerEdge Program. By awarding it gold partner status, SAP has underscored T.CON's high level of commitment and competency in addressing mid-sized companies.

T.CON's being named a gold partner was based on certain clearly defined criteria. This includes the sale of a certain number of SAP licenses to existing and new customers, successful introduction projects with reference status, deep knowledge of the industry in multi-variant, length- and surface-oriented production and outstanding consulting and service quality. Other aspects such as high customer satisfaction, marketing activities including PR activities and participation in trade fairs, as well as the training of the company' own employees and their certification as consultants for SAP ERP and SAP Business Analytics.

Conversely, T.CON receives more extensive support services, comprehensive sales and marketing support and broad access to technological resources from SAP as a gold partner. This, in turn, contributes to strengthening existing customer trust, as they profit from improved services and consultancy, in addition to software products based on the latest SAP technology. At the same time, this enables the SAP system house to put itself in an outstanding position regarding potential new customers and better develop new areas of business.

As an SAP gold partner, T.CON also guarantees that its web-based Manufacturing Execution Solution "MES CAT Suite", which is fully integrated in SAP ERP, is a high-quality product undergoing continual development. This solution, which has recently been certified "powered by SAP NetWeaver", enables manufacturing companies to seamlessly integrate real-time data and key performance indicators from the manufacturing process into the business information flow. MES CAT from T.CON is also available as a mobile application, "MES CAT Mobile". It enables the management and factory managers to get an overview of current orders, machine utilization and important MES key performance indicators on a tablet computer at the touch of a finger.

"Being recognized as a gold partner makes us part of an exclusive circle of SAP partners with the highest status level of the SAP partner program. It's a major success," explained Karl Fuchs, CEO of T.CON GmbH & Co. KG. He continued: "Our gold partner status is also a confirmation of our growth strategy, which is the basis of our clear partnership commitment to SAP, our innovative MES CAT Suite and our highly qualified and motivated employees who are very customer-oriented."
