In May 2012, HP became the first SAP Partner to receive the Benchmark Certificate for the execution of the SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse Enhanced Mixed Load (BW-EML) Standard Application Benchmark. HP has 20 years of experience with SAP applications as both a hardware environment vendor and a professional services partner. Part of this relationship includes HP's long-term history with the SAP Benchmarking program. This experience and expertise make HP a well-positioned candidate for the initial run of the SAP BW-EML Benchmark.
