SAP

souljah061 · 12-27-2006, 04:45 AM

My background is DBA with a dash of network administration. I'm trying to get my foot in the door with SAP (consultancy) and its really frustrating because there seems to be no entry level positions or even internships in the Atlanta area, hell - i'll even settle for a decently priced training program with some sort of adavance placement.

SAP folks, how did you break in?

that's the million dollar question. I don't know why there's so much hush hush over SAP, if u have the opportunity u could find a way to get hired by Accenture , they'll train u and u'll get ur experience from there. Also if u wanted to get certified or trained then South Africa would be a place to look into , that'll sorta jumpstart ur career as an SAP consultant.

First of, what db back end do u support ?....It's not easy for pure DBA to cross over to SAP....it would be a lot easier if you've supported an ERP system...then you'd understand the methodology and SDLC of an ERP system. Even with training, you need practical experience to be considered. I'll advice you to get acquainted with other ERP like PeopleSoft, Siebel and start administering those application..then maybe....just maybe SAP opportunity would come your way.

Kully, make we take couple months off and fly to the Phillipines or India for some cheap training...I'm seriously thinking of doing that in 07.

my background is mostly in Oracle. walai...I'm willing to mop floors for even a chance at an opportunity, 5 out of every 10 jobs is looking for someone with SAP enterprise exp and quite frankly its getting aggravating. I'm actually looking into peoplesoft right now as its more accesible, any good resources that folks can point me to?
