and global requirements as stipulated by SAP to run its applications. Some of

connectivity, back up and data recovery, IT service management and project
management. In order to meet this certification requirements, MDXi demonstrated
its professional competence in all aspects of infrastructure operations
including possessing a comprehensive operations manual, system landscape
diagrams, security guidelines, OS access, required technical skills amongst
others.
