Accenture announced highly personalized learning and training services from SAP designed to upskill and reskill employees, from the C-suite to the technology team. The new offerings are made possible through the SAP Learning organization’s partnership and delivery through Accenture.
As part of the collaboration with SAP, Accenture will become one of the first global services partners to deliver these new learning and training services from the SAP Learning organization as an authorized partner. The combination of SAP’s partner-led training programs and Accenture’s services will help organizations drive a culture of learning by enabling their people to explore technology as well as functional and industry skills.
Together, the companies intend to provide organizations with streamlined access to essential content and industry-recognized SAP certifications through end-to-end learning experiences. The content will be available through a scheduled, instructor-led training curriculum and tailored multi-disciplinary learning journeys from SAP designed to meet client needs.
The trainings are intended to help organizations make better-informed buying decisions and increase user satisfaction by helping them get the most from their SAP solutions. These enhanced learning experiences will also help client teams stay current on the latest SAP solutions, fostering employee loyalty and long-term relationships between the organization and their skilled workforce. Participants will be able to complete a Nanodegree program for SAP solutions, offered from Udacity, part of Accenture LearnVantage, to equip learners with in-demand SAP skills.
“As businesses reinvent with technology, data and AI, it is imperative that they help their people learn and develop relevant skills to stay competitive, innovate and achieve greater business value,” said Kishore Durg, global lead of Accenture LearnVantage. “The collaboration between Accenture’s LearnVantage team and SAP reinforces our commitment to helping our clients become ‘talent creators’ by bringing together specialized content from SAP with the experience of Accenture’s skilled instructors. Together, we can help our clients’ skill, upskill and re-skill their people on the latest SAP solutions to drive growth.”
Andre Bechtold, global head of Solution and Innovation Experience at SAP, said, "Through our collaboration with Accenture as a partner for the delivery of the SAP Training and Adoption portfolio, we are creating new opportunities for our ecosystem and customers to elevate their workforce skills. This partnership brings together the best of both worlds—Accenture’s deep expertise in industry processes and transformation projects, and SAP’s innovation leadership and comprehensive end-to-end process capabilities."
Accenture and SAP are exploring possibilities to further personalize learning journeys with LearnVantage’s AI-powered platform, which offers guided learning pathways to prepare highly skilled talent to meet rising demand for growth and business impact.
Accenture launched LearnVantage last year to change the way global firms, governments and organizations of all sizes approach their talent systems.
