Description of the Activities
 The Section or Department where I worked as a IT Management Trainee is
responsible for function-based legacy system into a process-based organised system by
investing and implementing the SAP R/3 solution. Further measures to keep the company
abreast of the digital developments were also taken with the implementation of core SAP
applications like SAP R/3, SAP Supply Chain and supported dealer and vendor portals.

This foresight in the IT department puts the company eons ahead and gives it the necessary
edge to stay on the path of success and ensure transparency to all its stakeholders.

I have worked for SAP Management team where I worked with SAP Data files and AWS
data files. As a new employee I was assigned a task to find a bugs & testing of SAP & AWS
data. Identifying bugs is crucial in testing process. When you find a bug, it is essential to
report the bug for it to be fixed at quality level. Once the data is checked it moves from
quality to production where the live data of the company is recorded.

Overall, as a new employee you will work closely with the project manager and other team
members, to ensure that data testing is maintained. I experienced the same while working
with the management team. In my 3 months of work experience I go through different
responsibilities, one to one conversation, team meeting etc
