EY Ireland has been selected as a winner at the recent 2026 SAP Partner Awards, recognising its leadership in assessing, planning and delivering large, complex SAP transformation programmes for organisations across Ireland.
The award for SAP Sales Success Ireland honours partners demonstrating exceptional execution and measurable client impact over the past year. For EY Ireland, it reflects a strong track record in delivering enterprise-wide implementations of SAP S/4HANA, cloud migrations and business-led operating model redesign throughout 2025.
In a year marked by economic volatility and increasing regulatory pressure, Irish enterprises have faced growing demands to modernise finance, supply chain and operational systems while maintaining business continuity. EY Ireland supported organisations across multiple sectors to execute complex SAP programmes, achieving multiple successful go-lives across both greenfield and brownfield environments.

Frank O’Keeffe, EY Ireland managing partner said, “We are incredibly proud to be recognised at the recent 2026 SAP Partner Awards. This recognition reflects the scale and ambition of the transformation programmes we are delivering across Ireland.

By combining deep industry insight with SAP innovation, we are supporting enterprises to modernise responsibly, strengthen governance and build resilient foundations for growth.”
Throughout 2025, EY Ireland successfully delivered a number of milestone SAP programmes, including an S/4HANA implementation with Aer Lingus, multiple projects with Sandvik as part of their global S/4HANA rollout, upgrades with Nelipak Healthcare Packaging, and RISE migrations with Lakeland Dairies. As a strategic partner, EY provided end to end programme management, process design and optimisation with integration to the wider technical landscapes.
Cian Crowley, EY Ireland Partner and SAP alliance leader, said the award reflects the strength and consistency of delivery across the Irish market.
“This recognition is grounded in the real transformation outcomes we have delivered for organisations across Ireland this year. We have secured and executed significant enterprise transformation programmes, supporting our clients on their SAP journeys. What differentiates EY Ireland is the breath of our SAP capabilities, the strength of our local resources and our ability to design & implement solutions that deliver real value for our clients.
