Fuels Growth, Achieves Distinction with SAP® Solutions
2011 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award Winner
Optimal Solutions CEO Gurvendra Suri Cites Exclusive Focus as an
SAP Partner as Key to Success
IRVING, TEXAS – August 9, 2011 – Gurvendra Suri, founder and CEO of Optimal Solutions Integration, Inc., credits being an SAP partner and customer for Optimal’s business success and for his recent distinction as an Ernst & Young 2011 Entrepreneur of the Year Award recipient.
The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Program honors entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Award winners are selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous winners of the award, leading CEOs, private capital investors and other regional business leaders.
Mr. Suri was nominated for the prestigious award by SAP and was also recognized as the 2011 U.S. Southwest Area North Entrepreneur of the Year in the Business Services category at a gala event hosted by Ernst & Young on June 25 at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas, Texas.
“Optimal has been a valued SAP partner for many years, providing expertise and superior technical and business process knowledge in support of SAP solutions,” said Ross Wainwright, executive vice president, North America Services, SAP America, Inc. “We congratulate Suri and the Optimal team for their success over the years and for this recent recognition. We look forward to a continued, lasting and productive partnership with Optimal.”
In addition to being an SAP services partner and channel partner authorized to resell SAP® Business All-in-One and SAP BusinessObjects™ solutions, Optimal is also an SAP customer. During a growth spike in 2008, Optimal implemented Optimize ServicesOne, a qualified SAP Business All-in-One partner solution for fast-growing professional services companies. Through this experience, Optimal provides a unique perspective to professional services companies evaluating SAP solutions, showing by example how ServicesOne helps them on a daily basis overcome real-world challenges, achieve growth goals and sharpen their competitive edge.
“Optimal’s sustained year-over-year growth, including growth through two periods of sharp economic decline, can be attributed to the quality of our consulting staff, our dedication to customer service, and our exclusive focus and proven track record implementing and optimizing SAP solutions for businesses and public sector organizations of all sizes,” said Gurvendra Suri, CEO, Optimal Solutions. “This exclusive focus and strong heritage ranks Optimal among the largest pure-play providers of SAP solutions and services in North America and a ‘go-to’ SAP partner for companies and public sector organizations looking to leverage SAP solutions for operational excellence, sustainable growth, and a clear-cut competitive advantage.
“Economic uncertainty is all the more reason to invest in SAP solutions,” added Suri. “In a tough economy and challenging business environment, companies need the operational efficiency and enterprise-wide visibility SAP solutions provide to respond quickly, strategically and opportunistically to dynamic market conditions. This is certainly the case with Optimal. We would not have been able to achieve our aggressive growth goals without the built-in best practices and scalability of ServicesOne. Our implementation of ServicesOne plays a vital role in our strategy for continued growth.”
