SAP has global partners , as well as local partners , who rely on its technology . When Castro talks about partnerships , he does not put one partner over another .

“ It is what gives SAP the power that we have to leverage in our own technologies to leverage partner-led innovation using those technologies to intelligently power our applications .” 38 April 2023
