This partnership will allow us to fulfil our mission of empowering businesses and help them dominate their respective markets”, says David Bann, Managing Director of K5 Business One.
K5’s Financial Director, Steve Dunford adds, “Being able to sell SAP product licenses is a new and exciting opportunity for K5 Business One which has traditionally focused on the sale of SAP services including project management, support, training, consulting and 3rd party product development to clients after they had bought licenses directly from SAP. This represents a new revenue stream that will complement K5’s successful implementation and support businesses.”
