Hello,

*** Please forward this email to anyone who maybe able to help, many 
thanks in advance ***

East Sussex County Council have implemented SAP and are now looking to 
migrate East Sussex schools into the same SAP system. 98% of schools 
currently use software by Capita called SIMS.

I'm involved in a technical project which will look to take SAP data 
exported in XML, and import this into SIMS - SIMS runs on Microsoft SQL 
Server 2000 and is written in Microsoft .net technologies.

ESCC have partnered with ITNET (soon to be called SERCO Learning) and at 
a project meeting Thursday I was informed that even though ITNET are a 
SAP partner, they cannot get the following information from SAP!

Can anyone please help!

I need to find SAP information on a "SAP to SIMS interface module" which 
SAP publish in a "product manual".  , this apparently says the interface 
module costs £15,000. If ESCC cannot find information on this, we are 
faced with developing our own which will cost us more than £15k, this is 
valuable money which schools could be putting to better use.

Do you know any SAP consultants who might have contacts inside SAP who I 
can ask for help?

Please forward this email to anyone who maybe able to help, many thanks 
in advance.
