Get the Most out of Your SAP Business One and SAP HANA

[Former Member]

Blue Ocean Systems is always seeking ways to help local SMEs to maximise their business potential. We believe that when you make the decision to propel your business by implementing SAP Business One and SAP HANA, you should be supported in the best way possible. That means learning the full workings of all the tools in the system, discovering new ways of carrying out your operations, and creating opportunities for growth and innovation with the latest analytics.

How is Blue Ocean Systems assisting SMEs to maximise their SAP Business One solution?

From June 2015, Blue Ocean Systems Singapore will be offering two courses for SAP Business One Version for SAP HANA. In cooperation with Lithan Hall Academy, the part-time courses will include 12 units delivered across 6 weeks of evening classes, each lasting 3 hours.

The two courses available are:

1. Next Generation ERP with SAP Business One on SAP HANA
2. Analytics with and inner-workings of SAP HANA

On Friday, 15th May in the afternoon there will be an event at Lithan Hall Academy introducing the program and explaining how your business will benefit from SAP HANA. Register below and secure your free seat.

What will participants learn?

The courses offer a fast-track, hands-on opportunity for SAP B1 Version for HANA users to gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills that they can apply immediately within their organisation.
