3.0 out of 5 stars Pinch of salt at the ready..., 30 Nov 2005

By	Alistair Duncan "AlistairD" (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This book provides many useful tips for would-be SAP consultants / contractors but you need to bear in mind that it has been written by two Americans for the American market. As a result the opinions they give are only totally applicable to the American SAP market.

The tips they give on how to handle various types of interview (in-person, telephone, technical etc.) are universal as are their opinions on CV layout. Where, in my opinion, they fall down is in their assessment of the value of various branches of SAP consultancy.

I shall focus on their opinion of ABAP (which as an ABAP programmer I know a little about). They suggest that ABAPers for the most part have short life-spans within organisations as ABAP development is not really needed in SAP. The suggestion is that most companies will simply require consultants who can configure SAP out of the box. They even suggest that ABAP should be confined to legacy system integration and user-exits.

I fully appreciate that they have more all-round SAP experience than me but I have never been short of ABAP work in any of the companies in which I've worked. They have all wanted user-exit work but have also wanted extensive bespoke programming and, in some cases, entire applications which handle the work of several standard SAP transactions. SAP is not a one-size-fits-all application and consequently will always, to a certain extent, need to be shaped to fit organisations that use it.

I know one ABAP contractor that earns hundreds of pounds a day so I refuse to accept that ABAP is an inferior branch of SAP consultancy.

So, to sum up, the advice on interviews, CVs and training are very useful. The advice on which areas of SAP are most worth getting involved in are best not followed without getting advice from SAP professionals in your own country. They are, after all, best placed to comment on the local SAP market.
