SAP Printer Vendor Program
Demonstrating the value of our customer-focused ecosystem, SAP is collaborating with leading printer manufacturers such as Brother, Canon, Dell, Epson, Fuji Xerox, Hewlett Packard, Konica Minolta, Kyocera Mita, Lexmark, Océ, OKI, Ricoh, Samsung, and Sharp. SAP Printer Vendor program members co-develop solutions for broader support of printer models used with SAP software.
Enabling Best-in-Class Printing for SAP Customers
We recognize that printing is pivotal for business processes – and that the number and capabilities of printer models on the market are growing steadily. SAP and printer manufacturers are cooperating in implementing the best combinations of printer features and SAP technology to benefit our joint customers.
Benefits for Customers
Printing from SAP software can be a critical business activity for SAP customers. They want to know that they can rely on SAP to get the full benefit from their IT investment, including printers. Modern printers offer important new features – such as being able to communicate their status to a central monitor in SAP software, enabling rapid reaction to problems or optimizing cost-effective maintenance.
Now that printer vendors are contributing to the SAP printing environment directly, customers will receive SAP-delivered and -tested software with support included. They will be able to use vendors' printer models out of the box with their SAP software.
Benefits for Printer Vendors
Printer vendors gain access to SAP development systems to develop the optimum support for their devices within SAP landscapes. Vendors can react expeditiously to their own developments – as soon as a new printer model is on the market, they can make it available for SAP customers. Using new enhancements that SAP provides to complement capabilities of today's printers, vendors can add value and differentiate their models from those of competitors.
SAP's Role
In addition to providing the development environment, support channels, and training, SAP is focusing on:
- Infrastructure enhancements to better utilize the capabilities of modern devices
- Joint efforts in identifying and implementing features that benefit business customers
