QUESTION POSED ON: 21 August 2006
I am working as an IT professional and I want to start a career in SAP as a technical consultant. I want to go for SAP Basis administration.
I am trying to get training but I can't find any suitable school or institute. I spoke with one person for SAP Basis training and he advised me to go for CRM or NetWeaver training rather than Basis because I would have a harder time finding a job in Basis. I am confused because I am not from management and it's very hard for me to go for CRM or PP. Is it true that there is programming involved in NetWeaver training?
