SAP certification or MBA?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I m an italian engineer. For the last 4y I ve been working in an IT office of a medium sized company following/implementing different SAP projects (before I was a consultant for an italian software house, non SAP).

What I ve been doing in the last years has been;

u2022 Customizing/management price schema (SD)

u2022 Analysis and customizing sales order, billing process, credit control, customer/material master, ecc.

u2022 Roll-out SD and MM modules at French business unit

u2022 Roll-out SD-MM-FI modules of one italian bu

u2022 Defining and implementation of SAP CRM project (process design, customizing, BSP/ABAP development, data management, training, ecc.)

u2022 ABC costing implementation

u2022 Chart of account management

u2022 Implementation and Roll-out of SAP asset management

I developed some deep knowledge since we normally don't use SAP consultants but we prefers self-instructions: library, personal research, forum research, ecc.

Now I m searching a way to improve my career (and possibly to relocate from Italy and his low salary ) and I'm quite confused if to go for an EMBA or a SAP certification (SD, CRM, FICO ??)

I'd like to know your opionion ...

Hi Mauro

As I can see you have worked mostly on SD related Issues and have good work Experience of 4 Years.

I would suggest you to go for SAP SD Certification.

As you have already worked in many areas of SAP I guess you will not face any problem in understanding SAP SD functionalities and then getting a certification.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi,

thank you for the answer. Actually I was doubtful if to go for FICO, SD or CRM certification .. I know and like all the 3 modules and about knowledge is quite for all.

Hi,

Thatu2019s up to you Mauro you need to take this decision on your own. I can only say that FICO and SD are the most used modules of SAP because Finance and Sales are the essential parts of every organization. So if you go for FICO or SD then you will have better opportunities.

CRM is also growing very fast and has good potential.

Dear Karun,

I am SAP SD Consultant so I am not sure what would be better for you as per current market scenario.

But yes one thing what I can suggest you that MBA will definitely help you to climb up the hierarchy at your organization so you can go for a long distance course of MBA from premier institutes donu2019t choose an MBA course from mediocre institutions as it will never help you.
