Today, we’re opening enrollment for a new openSAP course, SAP Environment, Health, and Safety for Operational Sustainability. We’d also like to make you aware of clean-IT: Towards Sustainable Digital Technologies, an offering by the Hasso Plattner Institute in cooperation with SAP SE.

SAP Environment, Health, and Safety for Operational Sustainability
Protecting the workforce and managing the company's impact (positive or negative) on the environment is fundamental to any sustainable business. In this course you’ll learn about typical environment, health, and safety challenges and how the SAP solutions for environment, health, and safety can support your company in solving these challenges. The course starts May 19 and enrollment is now open.

clean-IT: Towards Sustainable Digital Technologies
Digitalization is a game changer in the pursuit of a sustainable future. The latest digital technologies and applications like cloud, AI, and mobile devices enable us to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and reduce carbon emissions in many sectors. Yet computer systems themselves have an immense energy requirement for their countless devices, data centers, applications, and global networks. The clean-IT Forum is the international platform to exchange ideas, recent research findings, and applications to make digital technologies more energy-efficient. clean-IT: Towards Sustainable Digital Technologies is being offered on openHPI and is accessible via openSAP.

The focus of this course is on the latest IoT innovations, specifically around industrial IoT solutions.

We’ll also show you how to influence leaders using enterprise architecture management. The course starts March 31 and enrollment is now open.

The central business configuration capability will allow the configuration of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, but it aims at a seamless implementation of end-to-end business processes across SAP’s Intelligent Enterprise Suite. The course starts March 11 and enrollment is now open.

Migrating Your Business Data to SAP S/4HANA – New Implementation Scenario
With this course, you’ll get an introduction to data migration with SAP S/4HANA, and where it fits in with respect to the different transition scenarios. The course will focus on the new implementation scenario, with a deep dive into the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit and the migration object modeler. We’ll also offer optional hands-on exercises so you can better familiarize yourself with the different migration approaches. For these exercises, you can use a system image from the SAP Cloud Appliance Library. The course starts March 25 and enrollment is now open.

We hope you’re enjoying our current courses and that you’re looking forward to some of the upcoming topics. We’ve got two new courses now open for enrollment, How to Build Bots with SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation, and Introduction to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). Also, we’ve extended the timeframe you’ve got to complete our Digital Transformation Track.

How to Build Bots with SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation
The course will provide a solution overview and step-by-step tutorials on how to create a bot, from initial application declaration to workflow design, deployment, and how to design user interface elements and make bots run in attended and unattended modes. After completing this course, you’ll be able to create your own bots in the Desktop Studio, know how to configure and monitor them with the Cloud Factory, and understand how to make them run as digital workers or digital assistants. The course starts November 12 and enrollment is now open.

Don’t forget the introductory course, SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation in a Nutshell, starts next week, September 17.

Introduction to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)
Whether you’re an SAP customer or partner, knowing how the underlying operating system works will make you better at your job. This course will provide you with an introduction to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). You’ll see an overview and installation of SLES, filesystem and identity, software and network management, and storage administration and shells. The course starts October 15 and enrollment is now open.

Digital Transformation Track
Our Digital Transformation Track has been running since April and over 12,000 learners have signed up to earn their Digital Transformation Certificate already. To successfully complete the track, you need to complete six previous openSAP courses on leadership in digital transformation, Internet of Things, Intelligent Enterprise, blockchain, machine learning, and information security management. You can reactivate these courses for free as part of the Digital Transformation Track. As the track is still popular with learners, we’ve extended the deadline from September 30 to November 30, so you have additional time to earn your certificate before the track closes.

Dear openSAP community,

We previously delivered two courses to get you started with data science which were extremely popular with our community – over 30,000 learners signed up to Getting Started with Data Science! We received feedback that learners would like to have a course which focuses on the basic foundations of data science for complete beginners. To meet this demand, our course expert, Stuart Clarke, has teamed up with another colleague at SAP, Michael Jordan, to produce this new course, Introduction to Statistics for Data Science.

Introduction to Statistics for Data Science
Statistics can be a complex subject, but in this course, you’ll revisit the fundamental principles and start to appreciate how it can be used in your everyday life. This course will provide you with the knowledge to understand some of the basic statistical concepts and practices that are the foundations of data science and the way we analyze data. Throughout this course, you’ll be looking at how data can be summarized in a variety of ways to give you a descriptive overview of large data sets and their variations. The course starts October 8 and enrollment is now open.

Dear openSAP community,

In an IDC survey* of 300 SAP clients in April 2019, 54% of SAP customers said they are planning on deploying SAP S/4HANA within 3 years. To help you and your colleagues to successfully complete your conversion, we’re bringing you a variety of courses that will support you to make a seamless move. Today, we’re opening enrollment for a new course for project teams, Key Technical Topics in a System Conversion to SAP S/4HANA, in addition to the courses Agile Project Delivery with Focused Build for SAP Solution Manager and Virtualize and Automate Your SAP Testing Using Int4 IFTT.

Key Technical Topics in a System Conversion to SAP S/4HANA

The SAP S/4HANA Regional Implementation Group supports customers on their journey to SAP S/4HANA with their focus on customers transitioning to SAP S/4HANA who have chosen a system conversion approach. The topics in this course were selected based on the project experiences and frequently asked questions. You’ll learn about conversion tools, including readiness check, adoption of new user experience, custom code and recommendations for development, and in the final week, the course will focus on SAP Analytics. The course starts October 2 and enrollment is now open.
