Akerna’s MJ Platform Connector Achieves SAP® Certified Integration with SAP NetWeaver®
DENVER, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Akerna (Nasdaq: KERN) (“Akerna” or the “Company”), a leading compliance technology provider and developer of the cannabis industry’s first seed-to-sale enterprise resource planning (ERP) software technology (MJ Platform®), is proud to announce that its MJ Platform connector v1.0 has achieved SAP® certification as integrated with SAP NetWeaver®.
As part of the SAP certification process, the company’s custom developed ABAP add-on was validated for deployment on SAP’s enterprise resource planning software, SAP ERP 6.0.
