Sky achieves 'SAP® Software Partner' status

Sky Technologies today achieved SAP®Software Partner status. Our mobility and integration products, SkyMobile and SkyConnect were re-certified by SAP back in August 2008, after a stringent and detailed testing process. This certification was just one of the prerequisites in attaining "Software Partner" status. Becoming an SAP Software Partner opens many doors within SAP and gives us access to the SAP partner-only portals for product, marketing, sales, and competitive information and access and exposure to SAP's customer base. This is an exciting step for Sky and will assist us in increasing our already significant footprint in the world of SAP Mobility.
