Perspective of SAP in North Africa!!

[Former Member]

I am from Tunisia; I worked 3 years in international industry u201CSagemu201D as Head of logistic, where I fall in love with SAP.

I decided to switch completely and dedicate my time and career to SAP knowledge.

But the problem that I am not sure what will be the feature of SAP in North Africa ?

What are your opinions?

I worked for a UK HQd multinational that implemented SAP in Morocco. Maybe your best bet is multinationals.

I worked in North Africa for a few years, but it was a few years ago.

At the time, we did not use SAP directly, but it was very popular amongst the engineers (those who could be called "engineers", not only because they knew how to use a screw driver).

The engineering companies mostly used self-created tools with horrid integration (see above) and my dealings with the banking sector gave me the impression that it was AS400 sort of stuff with an arabic front end.

We often had to make a phone call, or wait until the next day for "some file" to be transfered.

That was a while ago, but I think there is still potential in North Africa for SAP products to be implemented correctly with a well planned strategy. There certainly was back then.

(some of our customers used to pay credit notes.... )

Cheers,
