Standards validation is an important part of our quality process during standards implementation and testing. For this reason we have published a validation of our ASTM D1250-80 ABAP implementation, compared to the commonly used API ‘C’ implementation. Often underestimated, and as a small indicator of the issues involved, we have also released a fixed point arithmetic working paper. (see ASTM D1250-80 Validation and Fixed point arithmetic)

Reflecting the ongoing development of our solutions, we have released new versions of our solution presentations (see: BCP and BCG for details)

What would it cost to program and implement a single measurements standard in an SAP environment? Only QuantityWare has the experience to offer a sensible development estimate calculation and make you aware of the additional cost and risk factors that must be considered. (see Value Proposition for details)

Due to frequent customer and partner requests, QuantityWare has developed specialized training courses for our BCP 10A solution, including a certification-level course. (see product training)
Our proven quantity conversion (QCI) audit services are now available for all SAP Oil & Gas customers. All parties who have implemented standards, in any type of system, can take advantage of our Standard Implementation (STI) Audit service. (see services).
