"In our market, there are many professionals who would find a job much more easily if they had the extra asset of SAP technology", said Bertrand Andries, Field Services Director of SAP Belgium. "If we can help them with that, then it is our duty to do so. For many years now, we have been providing educational support. And not just to companies and public authorities. Any organization or person that could benefit from SAP knowledge can get our support. This has already led to some great results.
