SAP AG is a German software corporation that makes enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations. Headquartered in Walldorf, Baden-Württemberg, with regional offices around the world, SAP is the market leader in enterprise application software. Thousands of mid to large size companies worldwide use SAP software to run the majority of their day-to-day business transactions and processes. Called an enterprise system, or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution, it can literally run an entire enterprise. Companies can run SAP's transactions to support their Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Plan to Produce, Hire to Retire business processes, and much, much more!

SAP UACADEMY OVERVIEW
Blue Ocean Systems (BOS) is the only authorized SAP software product training centre in Nepal. It has been providing SAP training for the last three years under a program called SAP e-Academy. SAP e-Academy is a distant learning academy which follows the same curriculum as SAP's proven classroom academy curriculum. SAP e-academy program was a huge success in Nepal for three main reasons, flexibility in learning schedule, reduced cost and consistent quality of the training materials.
The SAP uAcademy program is an expansion of the SAP's existing engagement with selective Universities around the world. This venture has enabled Universities and colleges to extend their range of fee-paying courses to accommodate the SAP curriculum. Mostly, the learning centres are located within the premises of the University / College. However for Nepal, Blue Ocean Systems, the only authorised SAP education provider for Nepal, extends this facility for undergraduate and graduate level students.

Given it is a program offered in universities and licenced educational institutions; the price is considerably moderate. Leveraging on the success of its eAcademy program, Blue Ocean Systems has now launched a SAP uAcademy program, priced at 50% of the regular offer of an SAP eAcademy course.

WHO CAN BENEFIT?
It goes without saying that the demand for certified SAP consultants is ever increasing around the world. Introduction of SAP in Universities has been a substantial attempt to bridge that huge gap in demand and supply of consultants. Therefore it becomes imperative that the students are timely trained to fit the industry demands. The SAP education offer in Universities/Colleges is a real opportunity for students to get an edge through the right training.

Incorporating SAP into the regular University curriculum makes students gain more hands on knowledge about SAP. Additionally, once SAP trained early, it greatly increases the probability for students to work as core professionals soon after graduating. The SAP uAcademy program shall certainly support in SAP-skilled workforce development, to better enable the sustained development of SAP ecosystem in Nepal.

To amplify one's worth has always been the focus of Blue Ocean Systems. SAP trained professionals from BOS have already landed lucrative careers in Nepal and overseas. With the launch of SAP uAcademy, more students will be able to join the bandwagon of successful SAP professionals. BOS encourages you to 'Start Young and Reach Early!'
