Customer Success Partner

The Customer Success Partner engages with SAP’s customers to drive & accelerate their value realisation and to ensure business outcomes are being met through consumption of their purchased solutions & success service entitlements. The Customer Success Partner is responsible for the management, orchestration of resources and execution of activities for a designated set of customer accounts, including post sales account management strategy development, outcome success plan definition & execution (adoption & consumption), account relationship management, issue mitigation, point of escalation for assigned customers, opportunistic expansion of solutions or services through lead generation activities. The Customer Success Partner drives mutual (customer & SAP) success across the Land, Adopt, Consume & Expand (LACE) cycle.

The role of the Customer Success Manager (CSM) has been an effective method when engaging with the most important customers (top 5%) in a high-touch manner. In order to scale, SAP needs to develop engagement models for all customer classifications (remaining 95%). To close this gap, the role of a Digital CSM has been established for all C1 cloud lines of business. Digital CSM's will use a low-touch/virtual engagement approach in order to provide an excellent customer experience across a number of customers. The Digital CSM will be located in several e‑centres globally and have access to the latest digital tools.
