What is better SAP BI and SAP MM?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have 3+ years of Technical experience of BI & DWH; to be specific in Business Objects, Crystal Xcelsius, Teradata EDW.

Now, after doing MBA, I have joined an organization as a functional consultant and got a training of SAP MM (I have not yet worked on MM in real life project).

I did little research and found everyone saying that BI is technical and MM is functional. I don't wish to be hard core technical but rather want to grow a consultant with an expectation of client handling, process/team management, co-ordination kind of work.

Since, I am going to start my Post-MBA career of Functional consultant, I am confused whether to stick to BI or go ahead with MM.

Any pointers???

With best regards,

Rohan

Hi,

To make career in SAP with any module, the prerequisites are given below :

1, Min 3 yrs domain experience (SAP experience also works)

2, MBA, BE or equivalent techical degree

3, Good Technical knowledge

In your case, you have 3+ yrs of BI experience, This experience will help u to get job after your SAP BI certification. If you do SAP certification with this experience you will be in high demand in the market. BI is technical but this is also high weightage module.

You have done MBA , so its also helpful to become functional consultant. MM is also demanding module, the functional consultant is also a demanding professionals in the market.

out of both, you have to decide what is your area of interest? you have to analyse that your 3 yrs BI expereice was rocking or now you are feeling exciting with MM? that you have to decide and choose according to yout interest.

All the Best.
