Now available: TMAP Quality Engineering for SAP

The TMAP? training and certification program is expanding once again. Alongside the renowned TMAP: Quality for cross-functional teams, TMAP: High-performance Quality Engineering, and TMAP: Organizing built-in quality at scale modules, we are happy to announce the release of the TMAP: Quality Engineering for SAP training course and certification!

In today's IT world many organizations rely on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems as their digital backbone. SAP is by far the most used ERP system. Organizations have to keep up in the rapidly evolving SAP-world with transformation programs to S/4 HANA, lift and shift to cloud infrastructure and frequent SAP updates & upgrades.

This all brings challenges and risks. Any bottlenecks appearing in a live SAP environment can lead to a full stop of delivering services or goods to the customers, which causes all kinds of operational, financial, social and media impacts.

Therefore organizations must take quality engineering seriously, with any IT system, but even more so when running SAP. Many teams are involved in implementing, supporting and maintaining the SAP solution. However, unlike with home-made IT systems, organizations that use SAP often rely on key users, business people, operations persons and maintenance teams for their testing and acceptance before implementing changes to their SAP systems. These are all people for whom acceptance of IT changes is not their core capability.

To support them in properly executing quality engineering & testing tasks we now introduce the "TMAP: Quality engineering for SAP" certification training course.

This new module is carefully designed for professionals with a crucial role in testing and implementing SAP systems. TMAP: Quality Engineering for SAP provides a solid pathway to expertise in quality engineering for SAP projects, and it's backed by the expertise and reputation of Sogeti Netherlands.
