You may have done some form of training or the other and have started looking on the SAP job boards for vacancies. Your frustrations may start to arise when you find out that the companies are looking for SAP consultants with years of experience.

  • How to know if an SAP module fits your background
  • Why the SAP website is not the best place to find information for freshers
  • What the experts are not telling you about getting SAP certification
  • 2 alternatives to an online job board when searching for SAP jobs

As James (the owner of SAP Unveiled) explanation, the registration of SAP Unveiled will start on March 24, 2010 and will only last for a week or after the members reach 200 people. After that the registration will be closed. After registering you will get access for a certain period of time (James will reveal it). During that period, you will be able to access all the materials provided by James and team.

To register, you have to pay a certain amount of membership fees.
Up to March 24, 2010 you can subscribe your email to James Newsletter for free. You will get a series of articles about SAP career and information about the registration process.

Disclaimer:
Honestly, I don't know what materials will be provided by James later after the registration process. But, from what I know about James, I am sure he will provide valuable ones. But you can subscribe for his newsletter before you decide to register, it costs you nothing, absolutely free. From the newsletter, if you think he's good you can register on March 24, 2010. If you think he's not, you don't have to register, even you can unsubscribe from his newsletter.


The above link is an affiliate one. If you register SAP Unveiled from that link, I will get referral fee from James. But, there is no additional charge, it's the same if you register through other links or directly at SAP Unveiled website. The referral fee is between James and me, no disadvantage for you to register through my affiliate link.

Instead, if you register from my link, I will give a bonus for you. I will give my SAP Study Materials e-book for free. I usually sell it for USD 7.99. All you have to do is send me a copy of your receipt/invoice from James after registering, then I will send you the URL from where you can download my ebook for free.
I wish you success in your SAP career.

What makes SAP better than other ERP software?

According to a research by Panorama Consulting in 2008, SAP is the leader of ERP global market. SAP has 35% market share, while Oracle has 28%, and Microsoft has 14%. What makes SAP better than other ERP software? I think the main reasons are:

  • SAP can adopt various business processes in various industries. SAP can adopt business processes in areas such as: sales, purchasing, inventory management, maintenance, accounting, production planning, Human Resources, etc. It can be applied in various industries such as: manufacturing, retail, oil and gas, banking, service company, telecommunication, etc.

  • Modular but well-integrated. SAP has several modules which can be implemented independently to each other so the company can choose what modules it will implement first, according its priority. All the modules are well-integrated to each other since they’re on the same platform and database. SAP can also integrate all the business units of a company, even a multinational one.
  • Flexibility. SAP has very good flexibility. We can change the SAP configuration to adopt new change or update in the business processes or organizational structure of a company. The changes are on the SAP configuration (means that we only have to add or update the data in the SAP configuration tables); we don’t need to change any programming code of SAP.
