The Americas SAP Users Group is launching a subscription reviews database. That database is called ASUG EDGE and comes at a time when SAP needs it, because the company is experiencing a talent shortage. Here the site will act as a middleman and help members find the right outsourcer.
Craig Lathrop, ASUG’s Chief Information Officer, says that, “It is very difficult to find qualified, skilled talent. It’s such a wide set of software packages, so as you deal with software consultants, you don’t always get a completely straight picture of what they’ve been successful at.”
ASUG plans to charge members for the information. A subscription runs for $995 US a year, while a non-member can expect to pay $1,495.
According to ASUG, the site has been in beta testing for the past six months and will launch with about 400 reviews.
ASUG’s site focuses on North American consultants.
