The Coupa Partner Award Program: Celebrating Passion and Performance

Twice a year Coupa hosts its virtual Mid-Market Partner Day to share our latest messaging, priorities, and hear from our inspirational guests. In addition, this offers an opportunity to recognize and celebrate our top-performing partners who have gone above and beyond supporting this market. This year, we're launching a trio of awards that align with our key values: ensuring customer success, striving for excellence, and focusing on key results.

Coupa has a strong, dedicated focus on high-growth and mid-market organizations. These organizations are dynamic, fast-moving, and benefit tremendously from the cost-saving, process controls and profitable growth that Coupa enables. A dedicated partner network supports both the implementation and ongoing success of these customers in the high-growth and mid-market sectors.

Our award winners showcase incredible achievements, innovation, and growth. These companies prioritize expertise and experience over promises and potential — and all three of our Coupa award winners made it clear they have what it takes to help mid-market and high-growth customers realize and capitalize on the value of Coupa's business spend management (BSM) platform.

And our winners are...

Award: Ensuring Customer Success
