Software AG (Frankfurt TecDAX: SOW) today announced the recipients of its 2018 PowerUp Partner Awards. Presented at the Software AG Sales Kick-off (SKO) in Madrid, Spain, the awards are in recognition of the partners who used Software AG products and solutions in the most innovative way. The focus in 2018 was on simplifying and accelerating our customers’ digital transformation journey, enabling them to better interact with their customers, introduce new digital business models and turn market potential in to business results. This year, Software AG is honored to acknowledge the success of Capgemini, Dell EMC, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), PT Mitra Integrasi Informatika (MII) and Technology Strategies Middle East (TSME) delivering innovative digital solutions.

"Partners are instrumental in Software AGs transforming businesses into agile, more effective Digital Enterprises,” said Mike Saxton, Software AG’s new Senior Vice President of Channels and Alliances. “Our global partner ecosystem continues to expand beyond our 400+ members with 80 percent of new partners focused on IoT. This double-digit growth in partnerships is primarily in geographies where we only or mostly sell through partners. This year’s winners were selected from a competitive field of companies that demonstrated innovation and dedication to customer success. We thank our partners for their contributions and are pleased to honor this year’s recipients and finalists.”
