imerInstitute of Management Education and Research Belgaum (IMER) today announced its collaboration with CLOCKWORK ACADEMY an authorized Training Partner of SAP to offer SAP Business One courses to all their students.

Each year India produces over 2.5 million university graduates, of which 20 percent are technical graduates. According to NASSCOM, only 25 percent of these technical graduates are considered employable by IT and ITeS companies. The report also states that India’s IT sector will face a potential shortfall of half a million skilled professionals annually. To address this shortfall, IMER seeks to form a strong industry-academia alliance to nurture and further hone student skills.

As market leader in enterprise application software, SAP (NYSE: SAP) helps companies of all sizes and industries run better. From back office to boardroom, warehouse to storefront, desktop to mobile device – SAP empowers people and organizations to work together more efficiently and use business insight more effectively to stay ahead of the competition.

With ERP becoming a competitive necessity most Companies have either already adopted or in the process of adopting ERP in their Organization.
