Sap - How did you learn/start?
Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on Twitter -
No. Yes. (Unless you're already in a company that's starting to roll out SAP...)
Actually, it depends. If you expect to be an end user, then a book will do. If you're expecting to earn money off the back of it then you need to invest."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
- Voltaire/Benjamin Franklin/Anne Frank... -
IMHO the courses are a bit of a waste of time unless you know the basics.
Best way is to join a company that already has it or is currently implementing it and go from there.
The courses (in the UK) tend to be a bit of a jolly for permies who want to start late and finish early.Comment
