For the third year running, Open Text has won an SAP Pinnacle Award at a ceremony in Florida.

Open Text Corporation has been awarded a 2010 SAP Pinnacle Award  in the category of Global Software Solutions Partner of the Year.

Pinnacle Awards are given to SAP partners that have enhanced the customer experience and addressed issues such as accelerating co-innovation and improving return on investment. 

Winners were selected based on over 230 nominations in 27 categories received from partners and SAP employees. 

Open Text received the award at a special awards ceremony held in Orlando, Florida.

"The SAP Pinnacle Awards reflect the strong success we are seeing globally in helping customers in a wide range of sectors from energy to financial services to government agencies connect their content with SAP solutions," said Patrick Barnert, Vice President, SAP Solutions at Open Text. 

"The fact that we’ve now won an SAP Pinnacle Award three years running underscores that this is a highly effective partnership and that Open Text is committed to bringing real business results to customers. We look forward to even greater success in the coming year."

SAP subsidiary, SAP America, recently signed what it called a "game-changing" merger agreement to acquire Sybase.
