Recently SAP introduced a new portal called SAP Consultant Registry that can be used by SAP consultants to publish information about their credentials and passed SAP certifications. The information on this portal is open for everybody and companies that are looking to hire an SAP consultant can search for a certified SAP professional there. Let us have a detailed look at SAP Consultant Registry and explore how people can benefit from it.
SAP Consultant Registry for Consultants
First, let us explore SAP Consultant Registry from the point of view of an SAP consultant. A consultant can get listed in SAP Consultant Registry if she or he passes any SAP certification and voluntary agrees to publish their information online. The listing only includes the names of SAP certifications that an individual passed but does not show the percentage scores obtained at each of the certifications. That is, it does not matter if you scored 70% or 89% at the certification (like George did with SAP SD certification) the portal will show the same output. The portal also displays contact details of an SAP consultant, so that the companies who may be interested to hire the consultant will have a way to communicate with this SAP professional. If you want to get your information published in SAP Consultant Registry, please get in touch with the certification center where you wrote the exam and notify them about your preference. Getting listed in SAP Consultant Registry is free of charge.
SAP Consultant Registry for Companies
Next, let us examine the value of SAP Consultant Registry from the point of view of companies that want to hire a new SAP consultant. The companies can use SAP Consultant Registry for browsing certified SAP consultants available in a particular geographical region. The guarantee of authentic information on this portal is of great value for the companies because they can trust SAP with regard to the qualifications of a particular consultant. The portal provides a clear and reliable way of verifying SAP certification credentials that are sometimes faked by dishonest SAP professionals. In SAP Consultant Registry it is possible to search professionals by their surname, city, state, and country of residence.
Also, it is possible to apply a filter for selecting only particular SAP certifications. For instance, a company may be interested in SAP professionals who specialize in SAP Human Capital Management. In this case, it is necessary to restrict the selection with the following SAP HR certifications: C_THR12_64 (Application Associate – Human Capital Management with SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4), C_THR12_65 (Application Associate – Human Capital Management with SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5), and C_THR12_66 (Application Associate – Human Capital Management with SAP ERP 6.0 EhP6). The selection screen is demonstrated on the screenshot below.
After you click the search button, SAP Consultant Registry will display a list of SAP consultants. Depending on the search parameters that you set the list can be rather long. All the main information is displayed in the list but for obtaining more details you can click on any line.
Overall, SAP Consultant Registry is a long overdue addition to the SAP certification infrastructure. People asked SAP to provide them a website where it is possible to check the validity of their SAP certifications for a long time. Finally, it has arrived. It is important to note that listing in SAP Consultant Registry may not be immediately available for people in all the countries. The roll-out process is graduate but soon will cover all geographical areas.
