Hi Ahmed,

Good to know you want to get started with SAP.
To let you know SAP has both technical side and functional side. As you have sited your background details, it is more promptly visible that you belong to technical side. Your choices can be very easy to be made with which module you can get started with in SAP.
Below are the following points worth to mention:

1. SAP technical side has ABAP programming which would be of your interest as it is core OOP programming. If you have knowledge in JAVA or C++ it will be good enough to grasp the concepts well.

2. SAP BASIS  is more with networking side or say more likely DBA features. It deals with server configuration and maintenance, User creation, maintenance and configuration.

These above two modules that i have listed, its more easy to get started with SAP as a fresher. So be noted: as you dont have any SAP experience, you will be treated as a fresher.

Advantages:

If you get started with SAP and gain experience in it , with all that you have learnt  you can abreast other technologies as well with you interest and inclination. From career prospects, there is no stopping anymore as you will constantly grow and keep on leaning.

Challenges:

To get a break into SAP is the biggest challenge ever you will face. And if you are not placed by companies directly from colleges. But people are making their way out and landing  into job markets and making it big. So initial hiccups will be there but if you are ready to face and withstand all these challenges , SAP will welcome you with Pomp and Glory.

Differences:

As mentioned earlier SAP has technical and functional sides, both of these have huge differences in themselves. SAP functional side has Sales and Distribution , Financial Accounting, Material Management, Production Planning and many more.

To bring you more interesting  fact,  SAP also has techno functional module. Which is actually an advanced module. SAP BI/BW which requires both technical and functional knowledge.
Please goggle them to know more about them.
Also if you have interest  in developing apps for mobile SAP Mobility can be another interesting module for you. Its growing huge.

In SCN you will find plenty of blogs where all these kind of questions has been discussed repeatedly.
Please also refer them here.

Hope it helps

Regards,
Aparajit

Hi Ahmed,

nice to hear that you wants to be a part of sap world, my best wishes are with you, as you told that you have programming experience along with database exposuse, so according to me you may take a foot ahead for sap abap module.

As me too an abaper, so i know a prior programming experience will provide a boost to your career in sap abap. Yes there are some facts that you must take into consideration while prior entering to sap world.

1. If you wants to be in sap , you will have no prior experience of sap so ultimately you will be      considered only as a fresher here, and its a tough situation for a fresher to get a job in sap, if the      company you are presently working also works on sap then it will be more easy to get into sap      world.

2. There are many other modules in sap which might be more interesting in terms of learning and of      your understandings, so you may opt for other modules too.

If you have any further queries, feel free to ask it .
