SAP Consultants Thread

[g shock]

is it possible for anyone here to post name of companies which they know to be in need of SAP trainees? =)

thanks so much & God bless

[tophe_17]

[wacky_wacks]

^ Ours. I'm not sure if they're still hiring though. Pero sa module namin, kulang kami.

Anong company at module mo tophe? Ok lang ba malaman?

[onid]

Do any of you know the company, Fasttrack Solutions? are they any good?
They're looking for SAP Consultants (should be CPA and worked for an auditing firm) and they're willing to provide "free" training.
I have no problems with the requirements, and I'm seriously thinking of shifting to another line of work (from tax audit and corporate strategy, which really bores me). SAP might be the one I'm looking for to snap me out of this corporate malaise.
Can you list down the pros and cons of being a SAP FICO consultant, to make my decision process easier

[tophe_17]

^ "free" training? I think they're gonna bond you in exchange of this "free" training.


wacky, Project System (PS) module.

[onid]

yeah, i know, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Just wondering how long the bond will be.

Is there any heirarchy among the SAP modules (in terms of job demand, difficulty, etc?)

And what exactly is SAP B1?

[tophe_17]

SAP B1 is a pre-configured SAP package. The implementation is much much shorter than SAP Business-All-in-One (A1). Usually, only 1 consultant is needed for the implementation of B1.

Hierarchy... FI and CO are the most important module because its concern is the External/Internal Accounting system of a company. Without it, other modules are useless.

[tophe_17]

yeah, i know, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Just wondering how long the bond will be.

In our company, it's 2 years (starts on your regularization day).

tophe: anong difference ng eacademy ng bayantrade sa kaisa? pareho lang ba yun? meron din sila niyan sa makati, sa qc tsaka sa cebu, tapos pwede din daw anywhere magaccess. may iba pa ba kayong center bukod sa fort? pwede din ba magaccess sa inyo pag nagenrol sa kanila? may placement program din ba kayo tsaka mga forum?

pag nagapply ba ako sa inyo, sure nang may project kung makapasa ako? nakaenrol kase ako sa ecademy ng kaisa, for sd,nakainstallment ang payment ko. ang sinabi kase sa akin ng isang taga bayantrade na kilala ko, medyo marami daw kayong project, pero marami daw nag-fafail, pero kaisa daw talaga ang magaling sa mga local project, pero mahirap pumasok, totoo ba to? or kung sa bpo, ok din daw magpractice sa hp, pero isang sub-module nga lang ng isang module ang hahawakan mo doon, hindi buong module. san ba maganda magpractice pagkatapos ng training, pero medyo kakastart ko lang kase? thanks.

tophe: anong difference ng eacademy ng bayantrade sa kaisa? pareho lang ba yun?

For E-Academy -- YES.
Pareho lang ng ginagamit -- LMS/Citrix.

meron din sila niyan sa makati, sa qc tsaka sa cebu, tapos pwede din daw anywhere magaccess. may iba pa ba kayong center bukod sa fort? pwede din ba magaccess sa inyo pag nagenrol sa kanila? may placement program din ba kayo tsaka mga forum?

No. It can only be accessed using BT Academy facilities.
Sa Fort lang ang BT Academy.

nakaenrol kase ako sa ecademy ng kaisa, for sd,nakainstallment ang payment ko. ang sinabi kase sa akin ng isang taga bayantrade na kilala ko, medyo marami daw kayong project, pero marami daw nag-fafail, pero kaisa daw talaga ang magaling sa mga local project, pero mahirap pumasok, totoo ba to? or kung sa bpo, ok din daw magpractice sa hp, pero isang sub-module nga lang ng isang module ang hahawakan mo doon, hindi buong module. san ba maganda magpractice pagkatapos ng training, pero medyo kakastart ko lang kase? thanks.

What do you mean, "marami daw nag-fa-fail"? Nagfe-fail saan?

May mga galing Kaisa dito. Usually after finishing their program/certification, sa support sila nilalagay.


It's a case-to-case basis -- the module/submodule that you're gonna handle. There are clients that only require certain submodules for implem (e.g., Cash Management); meron naman buong module (e.g., FI). These are some of the factors that affect your assignment:

1. Client requirement -- per module or per submodule.
2. SAP package. R/3, A1, B1, FastStart
3. Available Consultants

pag nagapply ba ako sa inyo, sure nang may project kung makapasa ako?

Depende kung may client. Again, kapag galing sa Academy, karaniwan, support sila nilalagay.

Scholarship? None I think.
They won't spend a lot for your SAP education if they can't "use" you. You'll definitely get bonded if you want "free" SAP training.

I don't mind being bonded as long as I get the training.... whatever it takes hehe

What's the name of your company? I'll try to apply there

tophe_17, konti lang talaga local PS consultants, no?

di ko mapakawalan yung PS person ko. she completed the academy this year and i want her to take the exam next year.

may PM projects ba ang BT? i left kasi feeling ko dati wala akong future. no regrets naman.

[tophe_17]

^ Hi. So may PS program sa EAcademy niyo?

Yup. Konti lang talaga. Dalawa kami na PS sa company, but we have 1 certified PS consultant, though PM na siya.

[mb065]

^ no. the company sent her to the academy in SAP KL pero tingi-tingi niya kinuha. couldn't afford for her to be away for a month.

pero di kasi kami consutling, we do in-house support.

[tophe_17]

^ I see. Wala kasing PS training sa E-Academy.

I'm currently taking a course in E-Academy. Pero hindi PS. Yung pinaarelevant na module -- CO.

So while doing my work in PS, nag-aaral ako ng CO.


I heard of a lady PS consultant. Her name starts with a "J" right?

[redsimba]

WOW... parang gusto ko mag SAP FI

Im a CPA almost 2 years in a consulting company...

Medyo malayo sa SAP course though sometimes I do systems for our clients pero simple system lang hinde yung complex...

Nagulat lang ako sa fee 100K ^_^

Maybe i'll start next year saving for SAP training...

[tophe_17]

I don't mind being bonded as long as I get the training.... whatever it takes hehe

What's the name of your company? I'll try to apply there

I'm from Bayantrade Group.

@tophe_17 : thank you for posting the ad. i noticed that it was mentioned in the ad there is "PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITY".

can anyone please give me any feedback regarding "PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITY"?

i have been meaning to shift career to IT (specifically doing ERPs like SAP). and i am torn between getting a company that will hire me (and bond me) or getting training from SAP eAcademy. admittedly, i find the cost quite steep.

any feedback from you guys will be greatly appreciated. God bless you all.

[mb065]

tophe_17, hindi ko kilala yang PS consultant na yan.

tiga-BT din? i left BT years ago.

[b4uc]

Sir Tophe, Bat di na ba naghihire ang BayanTrade for free training and with the bond with company. Almost the same na lang sila ng Kaisa. Ayun kay Sarah Lee Gonzales, Butch Ronquillo, Luigi Manto mas proper daw sa kanila mga HR yun dumaan sa ganon process unlike the previous trainings that they have. Could I ask why? Bakit lahat na lang ng mga institution nowadays for SAP nagpapabayad na. Dati di naman ganun, kaya maraming nasusuffer na mga katulad ko na walang money pero gustong mag career shift to SAP.
