The Presence of IT Academy is pleased to announce the kick off of its internal 'SAP Program 2011' on Friday 4 November 2011. The program facilitates an agenda of learning, including consulting skills and SAP specific knowledge, to develop SAP functional specialists.

 

The objectives of the program are:

 
  • To develop functional consulting competencies and skills for the delivery of services that our customers value
  • To develop core SAP Human Capital Management capability as a foundation for ongoing learning
  • To ensure that consultants know the services that Presence of IT can provide, the benefits that customer can derive from them, and who can deliver them
  • To provide a forum that promotes collaborative learning and sharing that is a fundamental core value of our practice
  • To provide a market differentiator as a company that can demonstrate  Excellence in People
 

The program includes:

 
  • Presence of IT Induction
  • Presence of IT Consulting Skills Course
  • SAP e-Academy
  • SAP Australian Payroll Course
  • Presence of IT Tools
  • Project Life Cycle and Deliverables
  • Presence of IT Services
  • Knowledge Transfer Sessions
  • SAP Certification Exam
 

Program Mentors support the participants during the program by:

 
  • Providing knowledge and support for the program participants.  SAP provide a helpdesk to support the E-Academy, but if  this doesn’t resolve the question then the Mentor is the students next port of call.  This also may take the form of general Q&A  sessions that allow the group to work together regularly.
  • Support knowledge transfer around application of the skills that the participants have obtained from the program. This takes the form of a small workshop using a virtual classroom
  • Development and delivery of knowledge snippets. 

 The program is important to Presence of IT as:

 
  • We want to recruit and retain the best people
  • It will provide opportunity for development for our people
  • The services that our customers value are changing and we must be able to meet them to be the consulting partner of choice
