From a CRM training course to do SAP BI life time projects

Hi, My name is Connie. I am currently doing Master's degree in Business Information Systems. I am working as a Software Tester.  I did SAP CRM training as well but have no work experience on CRM. I recently got an opportunity to be exposed to real life projects on SAP but unfortunately it is not CRM that I did training for. I am required to do SAP BI. The question that I need advise on is that, is this a right switch? Can I take this opportunity and later divert to CRM? or must I wait for CRM projects that I don't know when will they come? Is BI a good module to go for, for a person of my background?
Your advice's will be highly appreciated. Thank you
Connie

Hi Connie,
You can answer your own question (to a great extent) by checking how desperate you are about getting a break in the SAP world.
- If you comfortable(monetarily and mentally) and patient then you can continue to look of a CRM-related job. The future here is bright.
- If you something real quick and you have sufficient  training provided in SAP BI/BW and you think you can handle it, then you can go ahead with BI. There's really good scope in BI. Since IT industry is all about expanding your horizon in the software world, you will eventually gather skills in SAP BO, HANA, Big Data etc. That is a good career progression in SAP.
Both have good career prospects. I suggest you read about SAP BI (if you have not already done) and see if that interests you.

  • SAP SD + CRM training & certifications

    Dear all,
    I am new to this forum & i am interested in getting through SAP SD and SAP CRM certifications, i am a little confused about the timeline for the courses, i will break my doubts into points:
    1) Is SAP SD training/certification necessary in order to go through CRM training?
    2) What kind of functional experience is necessary for both the certifications? How does inside sales profile (with exposure to CRM system) stand as far as domain experience is concerned?
    3) Should i go for Back to back training's of SD & CRM or should i work in SD profile for some time & then opt for CRM? How will the back to back training affect, both positively as well as negatively?
    4)  Also, instead of SDCRM, will SDMM or SD+PP certification path be better? (i only have sales & marketing exp, no MM or PP exp)
    5) I noticed that CRM course is Instructor based & it is for 15 days, other functional courses such as SD,MM,FI etc are 25 days, what might be the difference?
    6) The CRM course is quite expensive, INR 3,30,000 ($7000+), is it worth to invest in an authorized CRM program?
    7) Apart from the authorized training programs, where else can i get additional knowledge on SD & CRM? Also, i believe that its difficult to know all the business processes in your respective domain, how can i enhance my knowledge on this?
    8) What is the difference between CRM 7 & CRM 2007 certifications?
    i know i have asked a lot of questions under one post, but i would really appreciate advice on these questions
    Thanks a lot in advance.

  • How to replicate a complaint from ECC IS-M 6.0 to SAP CRM 7.0

    Hi Media Experts,
    I have a request from my client in whom I have to create a Complaint based on a R3 Media Object (Subscription Order), and then allow editing this complaint in SAP CRM.
    I have already reached the first part. Over and done with a transaction launcher, I'm displaying and editing the Subscription Order from my CRM User Interface (but in R3), and I created complaints starting from the Order position as the requirement.
    Now, I need to replicate these complaints to CRM in order to update and edit these documents for the case the client call again and the Media IC Agent wants to search for this complaint.
    The question is: Could I replicate these complaints from R3 to CRM? In case of I yes, what would be the best CRM object to mapping my R3 complaint? And last but not least, the replication must be done through some middleware customizing?
    I appreciate any approach.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nicolas

    Hi Prashant,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The reason why I won't create my complaint in SAP CRM is because I don't have the Subscription Order Object in CRM it is in ECC Media instead.
    As I creating that complaint in reference to some positions of the Subscription Order, in case I create it straight in CRM I'm not allowed to do some validations regarding to dates, and existence, information that is only in ECC.
    For instance, I have the requirement to make a complaint regarding to the delivery of the newspaper, for the case where the client did not receive it. To validate the days in which the client is subscribed, I have to contrast information with the Media Order, because that information isn't in CRM.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Post Business Partner data from SBL CRM to SAP CRM

    Hi CRM Gurus,
    I am very new to SAP CRM. I have got an assignment wherein I will get the XML file from Siebel CRM, which will contain the "Business Partner" data.
                                             I need to upload this data into SAP CRM by mapping all the fields available in the XML file.
                              Please let me know the step by step process to reach the goal.
    Regards
    Sandy

    Sandeep, since this is a conversion related task you might want to browse http://sap.help.com and search for the so called 'XIF Adapter'. This adapter is part of SAP CRM's Middleware and provides the functionality to import and export individual objects using XML/SOAP technology.
    Second option you could evaluate is BP creation through the usage of the standard BADI's that SAP delivers. Let me know whether this gets you started, Tiest.

  • Looking for some advice from experienced users regarding training courses

    The likely culprit:
    The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.
    Possible other causes are the software that installed these:
    com.splashtop.driver.SRXFrameBufferConnector          1.5
    com.avatron.AVExFramebuffer          1.7
    com.splashtop.driver.SRXDisplayCard          1.5
    com.avatron.AVExVideo          1.7
    Now they may be causing panics because the try to use acceleration in the GPU which leads to the panics. You are unlucky to have a particular model that has a real problem with this.

  • Any training course on IDoc/ALE

    Hi Friends,
    I am working in SAP SD area.  For the day to day tasks I need to work on Interfaces. If there is any error arises then, I have to look whether there is any problem from application (SD) side. If it is related to XI team, they will fix it.
    I would like to know more about IDocs, ALE settings such as Partner profiles, Message types to name few. Is there any training course that deals with IDocs/ALE from basics to little advance for a functional or application guy like me?  (I mean not getting into too technical)
    Could any one name the course title or the number. I can take the class room training (in English language) anywhere in Germany/Swiss/Austria/Belgium/Findland/Denmark/Norway/Netherlands/Italy.
    Thanks in advance & Br,

  • Tool to transfer data from one CRM system to another

    Hi,
    We are merging one CRM system into another and need to transfer master data and transactions from one CRM system into the another. What are the options/tools that are available for data migration in CRM 7.0?
    Please share experiences/thoughts if you have moved data into SAP CRM from legacy/other SAP CRM systems.
    Regards
    Dan

    Hi Dan,
    Looking at your post - I decipher that you would be doing download from a lower version of SAP CRM system to SAP CRM 7 if this is the scenario then you have an advantage as you could employ standard SAP CRM middleware which is a powerful application to download master data from older version to new version, or else you could ALE the master data. Now this being the simple part we move on to the harder part of the migration which is transactional data - namely elements such as Number ranges, document flow, relationships, condition data tables .....etc if you are migrating this from lower SAP CRM version here you would have to understand the interlinking with R/3 or ECC6 in any case you would have to do a fresh implementations but on the whole there are some way outs for examples ; But still  let me know how you intend to migrate and what are systems we are talking about.
    With compliments,
    Tarovar.
