Monday, 5 December 2022: SAP has been awarded Technology Partner of the Year for the first time at a blended awards event (virtual and in person) hosted by Woolworths Group Technology. 

The Woolworths Group Technology Awards have been running for five years, recognising and celebrating strong partnerships in the retail technology space. 

Woolworths Group Chief Information Officer, John Hunt said: “Woolworths Group are fortunate to enjoy rich partnerships in the Technology arena. One of these is SAP, a long-standing partner, and we’re pleased to award them our Partner of the Year award for 2022.

“SAP has been a valued partner across numerous areas, providing technology that enables many of the critical retail business processes as well as supporting functions such as finance, procurement and people. In addition, SAP leaned into the cloud replatforming and migration journey, ensuring that their global expertise was readily available, going above our expectations.

“Through these endeavours, and others, SAP has demonstrated true strategic partnering in deed as well as in word and we look forward to many years of continued partnership.”

Salesforce and Wipro were among a small number of partners recognised at the event across technology service and solution categories. 

John Hunt concluded: “It has been another challenging year in retail and we appreciate the support of all our partners in keeping our operations running smoothly, whilst simultaneously progressing our technology transformation and innovation agenda.”

“Thank you to all of our technology partners for your continued support and congratulations to SAP as our Technology Partner of the Year."

The awards were held last Thursday.
