Nottingham-based reseller awarded top SUSE certification

Centiq becomes specialist solution provider for open source vendor

Centiq has earned the highest partner accreditation from open source software provider SUSE.

The Nottingham-based reseller has become a Solution Provider for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP, which the vendor said positions it well to help organisations through the "often complex" S/4HANA migration process.

Linux engineers help provision cloud migration and management for customer's infrastructure.

"More businesses are turning to SAP to unlock data intelligence, drive innovation and deliver agility," said Matt Eckersall, regional director, EMEA North at SUSE.

"Yet migrating large business applications to the cloud can bring challenges. To do it successfully, businesses need to consider how they're going to design and deliver large migrations for complex enterprise requirements.

"Not only does this take technical and organisational change, it can require a shift in the business mindset.

"That's why we're thrilled to have a new SUSE Solution Partner like Centiq reach this milestone - bolstering their experience and trusted best practice advice with accreditation that recognises their expertise.

"Customers can turn to Centiq for unrivalled advice and support as they look to run SAP in the way that best suits their business."

Centiq is also a Microsoft Gold and SAP Silver partner.

The certification will support the reseller's investment in automation, as well as encouraging clients to become more agile at adapting to changing business requirements, according to the Nuremberg-headquartered vendor.

"Continual learning is a key priority for the entire Centiq team," said Matt Lovell, CEO of Centiq.

"We're thrilled that through this accreditation as a SUSE Solution Partner, we're able to expand our offering to not only support SAP HANA but also improve our skills in it. Our finger is on the pulse of the industry, and we're looking to use our skills to provide long-lasting opportunities and support for our clients."
