Hello all,

recently there are quite many number of job especially looking for SAP consultants which offer quite attractive pay.
But not many of us is SAP certified and dun hv experience either.
Thus, some will require to take up the course which is not cheap....
For some, they might get loan from bank just to study this course.

Anyone out there...what your opinion?
Got thing to share with us?
Thing such as:

1. future market for this.
2. competition
3. the quality of the profession.
etc
etc

IMHO, it depends on how you see the course, knowledge, and future of it, ie: ... an expense or an investment.

... For me, I believe IT without business is nothing. SAP, or other ERP system should be one of the solid ways to integrate the IT and business, which is click and mortar .... please google some research on this area, for example:

Have (IT) certs will travel?

My best advice if you want to learn SAP, go into SAP BW.

Why BW?
Been thinking about switching to do something different.
Currently in the technical side of SAP.
How bout the techical side. MM/ SD yadda yadda yadda...
Any opinions?

hi ...i'm looking into this field also ...been doing some research ...jus found out that SAP course is expensive to take ...

i'm now actually as soft eng ...and working on dotNet and RDBMS stuff ...

any suggestion to get me kick into SAP stuff ....

by the way ...how does u all start to gel into SAP ? can share or giv some guidance ??

At the current market right now, BW has the most potential. Highly skilled BW experts earns a lot of money, the highest I've heard for a BW contractor is earning about RM1500 per day.

Technical side of SAP? Are you an ABAPer?

Actually i wanna ask this thing.. technical SAP staff like ABAPer.. do they have chance to go into functional?

Does ABAPer pays are high?

I think most probably not

I'm software engineer, wish to have a career change and step into SAP..

I knew Genovate and Axon providing the course, but it cost RM25K.
yet, there are alot of course/module..confuse me..

any suggestion/hints for me?

thanks

depand on year working exp u have, bt of couse its nt high pay as functional.
im abaper now under pay in my company , hunting new jobs n trying shift to the functional part.

Yeah u can get that amount if you work on contractual basis for companies like Shell. Otherwise the reality is that with 2 years of experience ur salary is only RM5k like a friend of mine.

it depends actually on companies and the experience u have,
n it might not be as high as functionals..

but i must say that it all comes back to the basic, if u wanna be a experienced functional consultant, first u gotta know the basic, which is abap.

can i said abap is the inside out of SAP ? for exmpale what is sap, how it works..blah blah
I am currently working in IT security and i am planning to change my career to SAP
Any places that offer the SAP courses? Please highlight me
I would like to know more about this courses so which module should i get?
Basically i hate programming and i hope SAP does not involved programing

SAP does involve programming...with abap..correct me if im wrong

frenly,

what kinda it security are you working with?

SAP is all about databases and knowing how the business process works..

and of course if u are in ABAP....u can never run from programming.

isn't abap all about programming? business process and databases is all about functionality? .. one does the stuff in the backend while the other does stuff on the frontend? database not ez leh.. if can do database, u go support oracle also make alot of money laa..

I would imagine the natural progression for u is to learn BASIS

That depends on whether he likes working with systems rather than on the functional and business side of things.
