The Industry Value Network program relies on a unique strategy for stimulating the development of high-impact, industry-specific business solutions. At the heart of the program strategy is the mix of business focus areas and the scope and depth of the relationships among members of each Industry Value Network group.

Each group benefits from a wealth of industry and customer insight and from extensive collaboration – spanning technical integration of components, business planning and solution definition, delivery, implementation and support.

Industry Value Network groups capitalize on the knowledge, products, and services of all members:

• Customers are co-innovators of new solutions, providing guidance on solution prioritization, requirements, and the roll-out process.
• Partners enjoy a close relationship with SAP and SAP customers. Unmatched insight into SAP industry plans and customer requirements empowers them to support the development of new SAP composite applications.
• SAP brings over 30 years of industry and enterprise software expertise, a focus on best-practices, a comprehensive business process platform, and the Enterprise Services Community.
