【推荐】NECC SAP - The Basics Seri
Article 1 How can you learn SAP by yourself? Help From Other Sources Here we will cover the help that is available from other sources, including: Consulting Companies, SAPPHIRE and other SAP Events, ASUG, and this website. 1. Consulting Companies One of SAP’s key strategies has been to develop partnerships with the Consulting Companies. This has contributed enormously to the widespread adoption of SAP due to the fact that there are literally thousands of consultants (SAP estimate 55,000) ready to help with all aspects of your SAP implementation … from strategy to completion. There are two types of consulting partners: 1. Global consulting partners (13 of these at last count) are the largest of the consulting firms who are able to provide global assistance to global companies, and 2. National consulting partners who are accredited by country Their rates depend on your negotiations with the consulting company, of course, but you could do worse than use an estimate of $200 per person per hour. Consulting styles differ from firm to firm, so make sure your company culture is compatible with the typical approach of your chosen consulting partner. In addition, spend some time on their websites to get an idea of their approach, experience and capabilities. 2. SAPPHIRE and other SAP events SAPPHIRE is the name given to SAP’s annual user conference. Multiple SAPPHIRE’s can be found around the globe each year, and are usually sold out in advance. North American SAPPHIRE's are typically held in hot cities (off season) and attract upwards of 14,000 prospects, customers and partners. SAPPHIRE is a great place to go explore, but is quite expensive at around $2,200 for three days. Even so, it is well worth the time and expense. 3. ASUG (America’s SAP User Group) As the name suggests, ASUG is a forum for users of SAP. Non-users (prospects and consultants) and not usually found lurking here. ASUG actually comprises of multiple sub-ASUG’s – each focusing on a particular area of SAP, for example there is an ASUG for High Tech companies, and an ASUG for companies using ALE etc. More details on ASUG can be found at www.asug.com. 4.
