It will be very fortunate to get the intensive and hands-on experiences of SAP for years by joining the corporate project which integrates Legacy system with SAP system. Such experience will give even more strength in the current tough economy and job situation.

For IT professionals who have several years experiences such as programming and analyst and design, I strongly recommend to consider to get the training in SAP systems.

Taking SAP class woould be very costly. Reading just a book may be too lacking in hands-on. But, I think Computer Based Training which shows the layout of SAP screens and Transactions will be a lot better than just reading a book.

I started SAP career by working with SAP consultants on the major corporate project many years ago. How did you start it? What do you recommend for other IT pros to start?

Thanks.

What is your background? I know of some SAP positions open right now.
