SAP Support Services

- THE Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA)

SQA is Scotland’s national body for the development, accreditation, assessment and certification of qualifications other than degrees. Qualifications under the remit of SQA include: National Qualifications, including Standard Grade and National Units and Higher National Certificates and Diplomas (HNC/ HND).

SQA has run SAP’s ERP 5 business software system since go-live in December 2006. Following go-live, SQA sought a long-term support partner who could help them realise the capability promised by their new system and cope comfortably with the organisations' needs.

After a formal process of evaluation, the contract was awarded to Absoft.

Absoft provides second line support to SQA's internal SAP support team. The Ruby-level contract allows for up to 49 hours of support per month - mainly functional support but with an element of BASIS assistance.

‘From Absoft's flexibility and integrity, to continuity of staff; we find it rewarding to work with a close-knit team you can always reach at the end of a phone’
