SAP lands on financial management sked

SAP America Public Sector Inc. today announced that its SAP R/3 product, training and consulting services are on the General Services Administration's Financial Management Systems Software (FMSS) schedule.

SAP has not been on the mandatory GSA schedule in part because of a certification process that many vendors have complained is needlessly complex and secretive. GSA and the Chief Financial Officers Council are now developing a new FMSS schedule in response to those complaints.

The Joint Financial Management Improvement Program also is developing a new set of requirements and a new certification process.
