Hosted SAP Reference System
Notice Description

SQA are looking for a proposal on how the proposed new system would look, the length of time it would take to transfer the data, how the data will be migrated, a project plan, the resources identified by the provider that would be used on the project and the resources required from SQA. SQA would prefer for the length of time for the data transfer to be completed to be 7 days, please confirm within your project plan if you can meet this timescale.
