hello all;

I 'm doubt what is " SAP" , "BAAN" and "JD edwards" . what I found from website , it showed that core process of them were logistic, finance and sales. It used 4th programming langauges.

Can someone show me more information about them:

such as 1.structure and real example

thank you

This are all application system. There many modules in the package.
to customise the system, you need to know some of the languages.
For SAP they are using ABAP to customise their software.
BAAN not sure ?
JD edwards not sure

Ya they r called application systems. SAP r now widely used in most big companies. Though their courses is expensive but it well worth it as u will be getting a fruitful salary

" SAP" , "BAAN" and "JD edwards"

All the above are ERP applications offered by various software vendors. ERP simply means Enterprise Resource Planning, which includes modules used in different sectors of a company, such as Financials, Manufacturing, Human Resource, CRM and etc.

BAAN by SSA Global http://www.ssaglobal.com/
JD Edwards by Oracle http://www.oracle.com/applications/jdedwards-world.html

If one simply googles on the above keywords, lots of information can be found...

Yes, google is your friend, and wikipedia is your cousin

Hi all,

I have mre than 8 yrs experience with ERP software but not SAP.

My pay is abt 5k and not moving anywhere...and microsfot erp (which i am experience in) is not paying well above that for project manager or consultant.

I was wondering would it be fruitful to move into SAP by taking a SAP course?

it will cost me 25k only for FICO and unsure if can get same salary as current when grad.

Any comments?

can fresh grad without any experience enter SAP line??
any company taking junior SAP consultant?

a lot, BAT, AXON, etc etc..those SAP partner lor..

wow thank for your information. actually , what is SAP course included??
If built a smilar system with SAP , then why should you take course??

Where can i take SAP course? Is it expensive.....

the course only tell u the concept and general info..
then u go in, is either cusotmise, configure or implement..
course ard 20k plus.. cant remember, my friend took it..but i m not..coz too expensive.

aiks if u still study, then u consider lucky la..coz last time when i m still student..i thought programmer job is more high..damn..actually consultant use mouth to chui sui' more high salary...

cool but i don't like chui sui. why don't study online or find books
i don't think my uni taught me this things and my college in mas as well
sigh..

I don't think it's possible to study ERP systems thru online or books. You can say that SAP courses are more like professional courses, but abit more pricey and 'high class'.

Another partner i think is Genovate. very close to SAP . hang on... if all graduates study sap fico , etc. what's the point for other It jobs.

no idea of what 100% SAP is..but it uses ABAP ;p
neway, its highly recommended by our lecturers to take it..so go for it
still plenty market for SAP-ians

Some companies do pay for your fees. 25k . you will get bonded . Eg, intel, dell, etc . How often a company can send their staffs for training ?

Can also learn Oracle PeopleSoft... The consultants are pay better due to large demand and short supply. Similiar to SAP, once you have master the application you are globally employable

Talking about learning ERP solutions.... It is hard to just pick up the ERP solutions thru self-study without being in the job itself (One thing for sure, we can install the ERP solutions on a home pc). However, for a beginner in ERP, one can always pick up a general book on ERP and learn the concept...
