Public Cloud Group (PCG) has the SAP on Microsoft Azure specialization received and thus qualified as one of the few IT service providers worldwide with proven expertise and extensive project experience and Have in-depth technical know-how in migrating and modernizing SAP workloads to Microsoft Azure. Fewer than 100 partners worldwide have this specialization - a clear sign of PCG's excellence in the interaction of the two strategic platforms.
Strategic combination of SAP and Azure expertise
The award is particularly important as the demand for future-proof SAP solutions in the cloud is constantly increasing. With the impending end of support for SAP ECC in 2027 and the continuous optimization of SAP core products for the SAP HANA database, many companies are currently looking for a competent partner to support them in migrating and modernizing their SAP systems. PCG now officially meets Microsoft's highest standards for technical knowledge, certifications, project performance and customer satisfaction.
“The connection between SAP and Azure is a real strategic game changer for companies that want to future-proof their ERP landscapes. The fact that PCG is one of the few partners in the world to receive this specialization shows: Our experts don't think in silos, but rather connect the best platforms for customer success. As someone who comes from the SAP world, I know what a deep understanding it takes to really master SAP in a hyperscaler environment,” says Thorsten Raquet, CEO of the Public Cloud Group.
Demonstrated expert knowledge within the PCG
The requirements for specialization are high: In addition to a proven sales volume for Azure services, certifications had to be provided, and an official audit had to be completed. The SAP experts at PCG have not only met these requirements, but have also proven in numerous customer projects how SAP transformation can be achieved in the cloud.
“This specialization officially confirms the SAP on Azure expertise that we have already demonstrated in long-term projects such as Munich Re and Zeiss. I am proud that our team was once again able to impressively verify this expertise in the audit.” says Philipp Richter, Business Unit Lead SAP at PCG.
More visibility and new opportunities
With the specialization, PCG not only receives an official customer seal for Microsoft AppSource, but is also prioritized in search queries and recommendations for SAP on Azure solutions. At the same time, the new qualification provides access to dedicated Microsoft go-to-market programs that can be used to specifically target new customer groups.
