You use the
Qualifications and Requirements
component to define, structure, and manage your qualifications catalog. On the basis of this qualifications catalog, the organizational structure (and, if required, other information) you can create profiles. You can then use these profiles to manage, evaluate and compare object characteristics. The profiles can be used to show both the requirements of a position and the qualifications and career goals (preferences) of a person. You can also run profile matchups to find out how suitable certain persons are for a certain position in your organization, for example. If any qualification deficits arise, you can plan further training measures.
