Macquarie Telecom's cloud gains SAP certification

According to the business, "The certification means all Macquarie Telecom sites are officially recognized as being capable to maintain SAP's solutions with total hosting packages & on-demand communications, software & services.

Macquarie Telecom is one of only three givers in Australia that is SAP-certified in hosting services & one of only two givers SAP-certified in cloud services." The company said that its certifications were suitable in combination with an SAP partner that gives the vital SAP skills.

Telstra increased certification to SAP cloud services in September 2011 at which time, Mark Pratley, general manager, Telstra Cloud Computing, explained to iTWire the difference between certification to host SAP apps & to recommend SAP apps as a cloud service.

You can confirm an exacting instance [of SAP] for each consumer a bespoke platform that you confirm & put into a release model is typical. What is not typical, and wants a lot of upfront savings of money & time, is to pre-certify a whole platform, a whole operational squad & a whole hold up team

He explained the procedure of getting certification as a very detailed part of work: it covers the services, the process model, the platform itself, the systems & tools we use to run it and a promise to be regularly audited.
