Beware of unauthorized training institutes

BANGALORE: Intensifying its drive against unauthorized training institutes, SAP India has informed that the Central Crime Branch of Bangalore Police raided the offices of United Systems India Pvt Ltd (USIPL) which offered unauthorized training using unlicensed SAP software.

The company has decided to take severe legal action against unauthorized institutes. SAP Indian Subcontinent president Alan Sedghi said, "SAP strives to ensure the protection of its own intellectual property and that of its partners in all markets. We are pleased that the Indian government has put in place measures that allow software companies to ensure that their rights to such a valuable asset are properly safeguarded. Illegal training centers such as the one that was raided last week must effectively be stopped from using stolen materials and conducting training that may not meet the standards set by SAP and its partners and thus invalidates the investment that students are making to acquire SAP knowledge."

"We thank the Department of Police, Government of Karnataka for this action and do hope to work closely with them and with other Police Departments across the country in putting an end to this menace," he added.

SAP has set up a community of education partners around India who offer well-designed and accessible training to the market. According to the press release, prospective learners should always check the accreditation of any education center prior to parting with any fees. SAP's training partners in India are - Siemens Information Systems Limited and Genovte Solutions (I) Pvt. Ltd. SAP training centers are located across India in Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Trivandrum.
