Mactay Consulting has been named the official partner of Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing (SAP) in West Africa. The partnership was sealed at a recent event in Lagos, with the theme “every learning curve is an earning curve.”
SAP is a subject that combines instruction in business training, database management, and human resource software management. The training offers certification as part of degrees or as stand-alone certificate programmes.
The partnership will have Mactay Consulting providing existing and prospective SAP users more with less by localising SAP education content and building capacity for Nigeria to become a hub for training in the region.
Elizabeth Rotimi, managing director of Mactay Consulting, who is excited about the collaboration, says: “We have been working towards bringing SAP closer to us. This partnership is not only beneficial to professionals but to the Nigerian economy. As this increases the value of our currency; prospective and existing SAP users do not need to travel out of Nigeria spending a lot of money to get trained. We are now available to provide more with fewer expenses”.
Tracy Bolton, one of the facilitators at the event, speaking on digital transformation, described SAP as “a long time trusted leader in transforming businesses. This involves transformation on the education side and around the world,” she said.
She added that for an organisation to remain relevant, it must embrace technological innovations.
Also, Mesula Keke, SAP trainer and educator for East/ West Africa, highlighted the importance of employee training in an organisation, saying “you can’t be a leader if you don’t train people. That’s why SAP is here. Training is important to reduce workplace risk.”
