Endorsed App
An SAP Endorsed App is a select group of partner solutions, specifically invited into the program to deliver proven value to the SAP ecosystem. These applications are designed to extend the value of SAP technologies by addressing specialized business needs and industry-specific challenges with high-quality, innovative functionality.
Every Endorsed App undergoes SAP Premium certification, a rigorous validation process that exceeds standard certification. This includes intensive performance testing, static security code scans and comprehensive cloud quality checks to ensure optimal integration and operational excellence within SAP environments.
Identified by a distinctive badge on the SAP Store, these apps are regularly reviewed by SAP to ensure they align with its product roadmaps and meet stringent benchmarks for security, supportability and deployment readiness.
By selecting an Endorsed App, customers can accelerate their digital transformation and remain confident that the solution is tested for compatibility and optimized to run alongside their core SAP landscape.
The Premium certification standard
This pre-vetted choice by SAP simplifies the approval and procurement process for IT, Operations and Finance teams, focusing on three critical pillars of enterprise readiness:
- Stringent testing and verification:
- Uses SAP-recommended best practices for performance, scalability and upgrade compatibility
- Tests data exchange, process flows and error handling
- Passes SAP’s Application Security Assessment (ASA), covering veracode vulnerability scans, penetration testing, data privacy and compliance checks (e.g., GDPR)
- Verification of cloud architecture
- Proof of high customer adoption, references and success stories using the solution with SAP products
- Assessment of functionality and deployment readiness:
- Supports critical use cases where SAP may have functional gaps or limited coverage
- Validates standard complementary functionality to SAP products and does not require customization
- Verifies clean core deployment readiness, integrating with SAP cloud solutions
- Alignment with SAP’s product roadmap and strategy:
- Regular cadences with SAP product teams
- Co-marketing and go-to-market investment
- Continuous co-innovation on use cases complementary to the latest SAP technologies.
By adhering to these standards, Endorsed Apps directly support a clean core strategy. They allow organizations to deploy sophisticated business logic and automation alongside their SAP environment, eliminating the need for risky custom code in the core ERP. For IT leaders, this level of certification shifts the burden of technical validation from their internal teams to SAP’s own experts, significantly reducing implementation risk and technical debt.
