London, U.K. - 24 January 2020 – The UK & Ireland SAP User Group (UKISUG), the independent not-for-profit organisation
representing all users of SAP software, has today announced the launch of its SAP Business One Academy aimed at addressing the shortage of people
with the skill sets required to implement, manage and most importantly use SAP
Business One. In collaboration with SAP
education and academic partners, the UKISUG SAP Business One Academy will
provide customers and partners with classroom-based and online training to help
users achieve SAP Business One Associate Certification.
“Our members have
frequently highlighted that there is a shortage of appropriate SAP Business One
training for customers,” said Craig Dale, Chief Executive at the UK &
Ireland SAP User Group. “User organisations require people with end user or
expert level skill sets, while VARs require their consultants to be certified
and knowledgeable to implement the software for their customers. Through our SAP Business One Academy we are enabling
customers and partners to develop the next generation of talent.”
The UKISUG SAP
Business One Academy will create a unique learning pathway and skills journey for
different personas from basic to expert users. Bringing together the current
capabilities from SAP education, academic organisations and UK&I User Group
experts, the SAP Business One Academy will deliver specific subject disciplines
such as CRM, Basic Finance, Logistics, Admin & Setup through to expert
level training.
“If you are a small
10-15 employee business, having someone away two to three days at a time is a
big loss and often there will be aspects of training that isn’t relevant to
that person’s job role. We have worked
really closely with SAP to ensure that users are provided with a short and affordable
course, which delivers the training they need. We believe that the UKISUG SAP
Business One Academy will deliver added value to our members and help users
learn best-practice from day one,” added Craig Dale.
Matt Sinclair, Head of Business One and BusinessByDesign,
SAP UK & Ireland, commented: “We are delighted to be working closely with
the SAP User Group on the launch and development of the SAP Business One
Academy. We will work collaboratively to ensure our Business One customers have
an improved understanding of the software they are using, and the power it can
bring to their business.”
The User Group will
be hosting its first SAP Business One Academy Basic Finance Module on Tuesday
11th February. For further
