How to get into SAP

[Rantor]

Why? It's worse to work with than Siebel...

If that really is the case I would be truly impressed!

Not done much stuff with SAP (except connecting it to Siebel) but the Siebel monolith can be daunting to even the most fearless cowboy consultant.

"I assume it's as a programmer that you want to get into SAP rather than a Basis/functional consultant?"

Show me the money. SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

Traditional coding isn't necessarily where the cash is. BW is in high demand at the moment as are quality Basis folk. Plus XI is a hugely growing market and not that much competition.

Sorry for the sarcasm but from their website;

By 2005, 12 million users work each day with SAP solutions. There are now 100,600 installations worldwide, more than 1,500 partners, over 25 industry-specific business solutions, and more than 33,200 customers in 120 countries. SAP is the world's third-largest independent software vendor.

That's what they want you to believe.

Very true. And they'll happily send the pre-sales guys round to give you an entire day of powerpoint explaining why "the best run businesses run SAP"
