Thanks Ravi ... and Sorry for Typo ....
However my query was there is big gap on Experience professionals (Like me who have 10 Yrs of
Project Management Experience) In fact I am PMP , PRINCE2 and ITIL Certified as well and a
Fresher doing this (though I am not trying to avoid a subject that for SAP I am still a fresher)
However this does not gel well with Experienced Liabilities that I have... can you please suggest how
I can use my existing skills of Project Management and this added skill of SAP (FI / and CO as well)
Let me know your thoughts
Thanks
Aniket
Hi Aniket,
The only thing you can do it practice! practice! and practice!
Use SAP Building blocks, download configuration and business process documents for various industries. Then configure in your demo system available.
SAP Best Practices Baseline Package
The more your configure, you get lot of confidence, you will become good in your hands-on experience.
Then keep on attending the interviews, please do not bother even if you do not clear them. However, learn from the mistakes, then at one point you will become experience in knowing the kind of expectations from the interview.
Meanwhile, if you find some time, read help.sap.com, visit Service Market Place and follow the SCN forum.
Hope these are helpful.
All the best.
Kind Regards,
Ravi
Hi Aniket,
Good to have project management knowledge. However, the jobs are mostly role based. If you are working in project as a FICO consultant, you are expected to deliver the technical in that area. Even if you are good Project Manager, it may not really help you in that project, unless you are project manager for FICO deliverables.
Therefore, when choosing the role in a project is import. If you are chosen for FICO, you should do FICO role only.
Kind Regards,
Ravi
Hi Ravi
Thanks it was really great advice !!
However can you please let me know how should i start approaching the Market for FI / CO Demand ?
It has been 3 weeks since i got certified however there have been no calls / positive leads coming over
You will suggest better over this
Thanks
Aniket
Dear Aniket,
Persistence is the key. I know market is very competitive and employers are matured. You need to pursue your goal until you reach it. If you come to a conclusion that it is a wastage of money, then nothing much could help you. Keep trying. You should have the same passion on SAP. Keep learning, start applying. Never give up.
All the best.
Kind Regards,
Ravi
Hi Paul - Thanks and Agree with you however ever after keep the hold on
There are companies who float the required for Experienced guys I mean I have around 100 requirements per week but all of them say want experience of 2 implementation , want experience of 3 implementation etc and I am trying to bridge this GAP
My Training Partner told me that Certification will help me get way passed through this Bridge
Thanks

Hi Abhishek
Nice to hear you want to enter into FI (FI AND CO though used in Silos however are different modules )
.. Few things
1. Make sure that you get trained only by Associated Partner only (Freelance Training may help you to get knowledge by only Associated Training Partners will be Authorized to get you allowed for Global Training Program)
2. Try to get hands on on latest version (Probably S/4 Using HANA) and we are lucky that SAP Launched Simple Finance as its First Module in new business one suite
3. Make sure that you learn this from Project perspective and not from End user Perspective
Good Luck
Let me know if you need any more information
Thanks

Hello All,
To appear for certification without attending any SAP course you need to fulfill the following criteria:
1 To appear for Associate level certification without attending any SAP course you need Minimum 1 year of SAP Implementation Experience or 2 years of Support experience with minimum of 6 months experience in the module and version in which you wish to take up certification.
To appear for Professional level certification without attending any SAP course you need Minimum to 3 - 7 years of SAP Implementation Experience with minimum of 6 months experience in the module and version in which you wish to take up certification.
2 The last 1 year should be with your present employer
3 Your present employer should be a CUSTOMER or PARTNER of SAP.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Aniket,
To conquer one module it takes almost a decade, learning multiple modules and master them would take more than the whole life. I would advise, try to learn niche areas in your module. For example if you are FICO, then concentrate on Advanced CO, FSCM, Treasury, RE-FX, BPC etc. They would give you good market value.
Kind Regards,
Ravi
Hi,
Correct me if I'm wrong,but I guess as per the SAP agreement with it's implementation partners, there is a condition that the partners must have a certain percentage of SAP Certified Professionals in the consultant payroll .Since SAP partners are abide by this rule, employers are left with NO choice but to hire certified consultants like Aniket and Ranbir and provide them a chance to start a career.So like Ravi suggested, keep trying.
Regards,
Sam
