itelligence Achieves SAP Accreditation for Active Quality Management

BIELEFELD, Germany, January 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    High-quality management standards which comply with SAP guidelines allow itelligence
to implement new SAP solutions more effectively and increase customer satisfaction

    itelligence [http://www.itelligence.ag ] announced today that it has achieved
accreditation for active quality management awarded by the SAP(R) Active Quality
Management team. It serves as evidence that itelligence demonstrates clear quality
standards for the sale and implementation of the SAP solutions. By cooperating with SAP
[http://www.sap.com ] (NYSE: SAP) in quality management, itelligence can better assist its
customers both before and after implementation projects, and make sure that the projects
are delivered to specification, on the planned budget and on time. itelligence is an SAP
gold channel partner in the SAP PartnerEdge(R) program.

    SAP launched the global quality accreditation program for value-added resellers (VARs)
that focus on SAP Business All-in-One solutions
[http://www.sap.com/sme/solutions/businessmanagement/businessallinone/index.epx ] as well
as members of the SAP Extended Business program. The accreditation is awarded globally to
SAP channel partners that prove active quality management of their sales processes and
delivery methodologies.

    itelligence is closely aligned to the key principles of quality that SAP believes to
be fundamental to the success of every implementation, designed to deliver high-quality
software and support while providing the right processes, tools and services to drive
successful projects and delivery.

    Businesses today are continually challenged to manage risk in increasingly complex
projects. As a certified member of the global quality accreditation program, intelligence
helps SAP customers avoid escalations, maintain profits and improve successful delivery.
In addition, the program provides itelligence with access to enhanced materials and
quality management procedures through SAP sale channels. With a distinct focus on quality
deliverables, the accreditation also helps partners improve the success of bids. It
differentiates them from other competitors through high-quality standards and risk
mitigation.

    The annual partner quality plan and quarterly quality reviews form the basis for the
global quality accreditation program by providing a way to monitor joint performance and
measure success. Partners are required to submit an annual quality plan to showcase how
they will improve quality in their own organization during the year. In addition, the
quarterly quality review enables joint risk monitoring via open bilateral communication as
well as identifying and preventing issues.

    "At SAP, we make every effort to help customers manage their implementations of
integrated software solutions, and encourage our partners to work to the principles of
quality adhered to throughout SAP," said Iwona Stamper, Channel Development Manager, SAP
Polska. "We are pleased that itelligence has tightened its cooperation with SAP through
this accreditation for active quality management. Through this accreditation, we expect
that itelligence specialists will be better equipped to assist customers with making
informed decisions about their SAP solutions and implementation options, as well as
realize the value of their investments early on and to their full potential."
