How best to transform a SAP end user to a consultant ???

[Former Member]

After working as a SAP SD consultant,I realized a need for training SAP aspirants.But,focused only on a few SAP end users locally in Hyd, as the jargon

and concepts were best suited for end users who work on live data ! Today with 10+ yrs SAP recruiting experience,  I wish to address this national demand (in India firstly) by locating near the end users community / location ( North India).

I am open to  valuable suggestions / inputs related to training content ex: ASAP methodology ?

Your objective with this thread and your larger goal is not clear!

What do you want from members? Please frame some questions.

I wish to learn if there is any specific training material on ASAP methodology which could be downloaded for training SAP end users in India.Secondly,how will a SAP implementation partner

(in India) rate a SAP end user (involved in implementation cycle) with ASAP methodology knowledge?

In my opinion ,such profiles may start with support jobs.

Hi Desh,

There are lot of documents available in SAP Service Marketplace if you have S user id.  If you have already done a certification or working for implementation partner then you get this S user id to login into SAP Service Marketplace.

SAP ASAP methodology comes with SAP Solution Manager, so you can check through SAP Solution Manager this ASAP methodology.

In India, All CMMI level companies have their own delivery methodologies as per my knowledge, so 90% of the time they won't adopt SAP ASAP methodology... Either they go with Client methodology or sell their own implementation or support methodologies or different framework.

At the outset, it is not mandatory to have this but if you have knowlege in delivery methodology framework like Waterfall, Scrum, Agile that would be added advantage.

Desh,

SAP end users with ASAP knowledge will not be treated differently, they will be considered as end users. It will be difficult to break in to the SAP market.

jobs.

TW,

In your opinion,what is demand for training users at client premises to transform them into

say techno functional consultants.This way,the client may save money by resolving issues

in-house and not outsourcing to consulting firms.
