HP inks MoU with ITM

The joint initiative is set to open its doors to students in January 2005 at The Dubai Knowledge Village and the development of the centre is in direct response to the growing requirements in the Middle East for certified SAP Consultants, which can cater for the rapidly expanding IT industry. HP is currently talking with other Multi National Companies on joining this initiative with themselves and ITM.

Peter Karg, Director, TSG Consulting & Integration, International Sales Europe for HP said: "This SAP Competency Centre will assist HP and our IT and Consulting partners by providing a considerable knowledge bank of professionals, whose in-depth knowledge of SAP solutions and HP technologies will grow, support and sustain the burgeoning IT market. The announcement of the new Centre in Dubai illustrates HPs commitment to providing maximum aptitude in SAP solutions to the Middle East region."

Joseph Hanania, Managing Director for HP Middle East, commented that, "As the region has now been widely recognised as the third fastest growing IT market in the world after India and China, it was essential that there are enough qualified personnel to maintain the IT industry and HP believes that the Dubai Centre will enable Middle East SAP clients to be world class in their utilisation of SAP technologies and solutions by the deployment of HP-trained SAP consultants rolling out best practices into their business. The Centre will offer students the opportunity to certify themselves in mySAP and SAPindustry module training which is key for the development of business processes for enterprise businesses. "
