Dear All,

Greetings to you

I hope that you peoples could help me in selecting an appropriate module in SAP for me.

I completed my B.E in Electronics and Communication and have one year of experience in software development and data base management.  I would like to switch my career in SAP, Basically i am very interested in Data base management and data analytic's. E'm completely new to SAP, Even don't no anything about SAP, But eager to learn & ready to spend more time to learn completely.

Kindly suggest me where to start, which module i best for  career and good job opportunities in the market.

Any help you could provide would be graciously appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dinesh,

basically there are two types of applications in sap, one is technical and another in functional. In technical side you will get ABAP, BASIS priorily. SAP ABAP is a fully coding side and in basis you will work on administration role.

On the other side there are many functional module like SD, MM, FI/CO etc etc.

If you are good in coding you can start your career as a abap consultant, later on you can move towards

SAP HANA platform which is a database technology, as it is not mandatory to learn abap prior to HANA, so you can also take a move towards hana directly.

However, there are tools like BW/BI where you can also make your career, but i will suggest you to search on Google for major modules in sap and based on your interest you can choose a better option yourself more wisely rather than asking to others.

Hi Dinesh,

As you are from technical background, an engineer actually , I would suggest you to go for BI/BW. Also, you have more interest in database related thing, so you can later go for BI/BW with HANA as HANA is the future. All the best for your new career

Hi Seshu

Thanks for your response, E'm good in MySQL n SQL Databases, but fair n Coding. so let me which one is initial level for start ups whether SAP BO or BI/BW. if possible brief me about both.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Preferred is SAP Bo as you have D.B Knowledge.

BI/BW  : Data will be in the form of cube ( Multi dimensional ) . In Bi ABAP code is necessary upto 30% it might vary depending on Business.

Here  mostly data source will be sap .

BO : Data will be in the form of table's (Two Dimensional) , Here what ever data available in table's it will be shown in form of sql .

Here data source will be SAP & Non SAP (Oracle/Sql).

Hi Dinesh,

In taking up anything as a career , interest matters the most...so as per your interest...BI/BW/BO ..suits you the most,,,,,and it has very good market . Also you can go for HANA .

as far as your query is concerned ,,,,you should start with BW/ BI and then move to BO.

Hi Sera,

The information which u provided was wonderful, i also decided to start with BW/BI alone. can u kindly suggest me which one is best like classroom or online training, if classroom mean let me any reputed institutes if its possible.

Thanks in advance.

[former_member230391]

hi Dinesh....

classroom is the way to go..as per me. However , choose your institute very wisely especially if you are in Bangalore. There are plenty of frauds around. So, Please attend a few demos and try to get in touch with students who are already part of the institute for feedback and then make a decision and only then you will be benefited learning wise as well as financially.You can also choose the SAP partners who provide certification however that will be very costly,

Thanks.
