SAP CRM 6.0 Certification too expensive!

Hi!
I am a certified in SAP CRM 5.0.    I paid Rs 3,00,000  for the course, which in my opinion was really expensive.
But I was looking at the couse schedule for SAP CRM 6.0 and i was really shocked ( Yes Shocked) by the fees they are asking for the course. I think this is beyond my imagination why they are asking so much amount for the course which,
1) Doesn't gaurantee any job placement.
2) It is just for 25 days ( If you go for one of the main modules, i.e Sales, Marketing etc.)
So what does SAP want to prove by this? Come on, one can finish MBA (which is for 2 years in India and 1 year in UK) by paying this much amount.
And I have heard that many people are finding it difficult to pass the certification exams these days.
If any responsible person from SAP can explain this to me, I would be greatful. And please provide specific answers why you are charging this much.

Hello,
When you are CRM 5.0 certified again why you want to go with CRM 6.0
SAP keep on releasing the version, do you want to go anttend all the version. It is not really worth.
If you are certified in one version, in my opinion, it is more than enough.

Ravi

  • Direct certification in SAP CRM

    Hi Forum,
    This query is regarding direct certification in SAP CRM. I have read other threads but could not figure out one detail.
    I qualify most of the condition laid for direct certification, I have done a few implementations on CRM 5.0 and most of my experience is in version 5.0 only, but I would like to give my certification in CRM 7.0.
    As most of the certifications in 5.0 are already discontinued except the Associate one, will I be allowed to take certification in 7.0?
    The condition laid by SAP says:
    u201CTo appear for Associate level certification without attending any SAP course you need Minimum 1 year of SAP Implementation Experience with minimum of 6 months experience in the module and version in which you wish to take up certificationu201D
    Please clarify if someone has similar experience.

  • SAP CRM Sales or Service or Marketing Professional Certification Exam

    Dear Experts,
    I have Experience in SAP ABAP and BW .
    I want to write SAP CRM Professional Certification Exam.
    But my Question is in which CRM module(Sales/Service/Marketing), I should do the certification.
    I mean which would be useful in  my career.
    Please let me know.
    Thank you.
    Regards
    Sam

    As you know in ERP, BW is cross system, in CRM happens the same, fristly I would ask myself in which ERP process where I was more involved. If I dealt with docuemtns (business transactions) I would go for SAP CRM Sales, if my vision is wider (MM, FI, CO) and not so focused on the SD area I would go for the services.
    In your situation I would go for the SAP Certified Application Associate - CRM Fundamentals with SAP CRM 7.0 EhP2 and forget about the "Professional" ones.

  • BTE in SAP CRM technical

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to SAP CRM technical, and as per my knowledge just like AET and EEWB we could use BTE too for enhancing the data model.
    I know and have used AET and EEWB, but not used BTE yet. I have an overview knowledge about BTE and its role in CRM, but I haven't used it practically.
    Could any body please share some example on BTE practical implementation, so that I could follow the same to test and analyse. This would help me to implement BTE in solving real time problems faced by my clients.

    Hi Anuj,
    Certification is added advantage for any consultant working in SAP.
    If you attempt for certification with SAP. your skill sets will be registered and you will get SAP USERID.
    With that you can browse  latest SAP Product releases and notes etc.... from SAP support portal.
    There are two ways you can attempt for certification.
    1) You need to go through from your current employeer.
    2) You need to attend trainings from SAP.
    Thanks,

  • SAP CRM CBT

    Hi,
    I am just wondering is there any best for buying CBT (Computer Based Training) and it is Audio & Video presentation. I found some website by googling but there are very expensive. Is there any Website?
    Thanks
    Poorna

    Hi,
    Please find the link below for CBT for SAP CRM. However, this could be good for initial start-up. You would definitely need access to SAP system and also it is advisable to go through a proper course from SAP and go for certification to venture into this field.

  • What is SAP CRM On-Demand Solutions ?

    Hi Gurus
       What is  SAP CRM On-Demand Solutions ? Does it have a separate certification programme on the same ?
    Thanks
    Jaman

    Hi Jaman,
    There is no CRM-on-demand solutions. It is only one solution. Have a look at www.salesforce.com which is another hosted CRM solution by another software vendor to get good idea.
    The idea is that for the customers who are not yet on CRM and want to try it with smaller investments first before making a big investment into a full fledged CRM Online, SAP has provided a quickly configurable, hosted on servers owned by SAP, quick to subscribe & less expensive but with limited functionalities CRM solution.
    The initial configuration time could be 1-7 days which is far far less than any of the CRM Online solutions.
    Advantage of CRM on Demand by SAP is that once you decide to go large with full fledged CRM implementation, all your data can be migrated in no-time, as SAP has planned the data model in such a way to make it map with CRM Online data model. And I dont all, but it is more than just the data model which is mapped. I think the interfacing APIs etc also are on similar lines to the Online version of CRM.
    There is not separate certification for CRM on Demand for sure and I dont think there is any need for it, or is there any?
    Gregor & Michael, may be you can share more knowledge here.

  • SAP CRM - no confidence in UI by SAP?

    After reading this blog and looking at the article attached to the blog.  I had an interesting question:
    Can Rich Internet Applications finally be accepted as a credible application development platform for SAP?
    Does SAP have any confidence in its own CRM software?  Right now SAP is touting how easy to use the new version of SAP CRM is, and yet this article implies they don't use their own product's user interface.
    Now I know the eSOA mantra says this shouldn't matter, but I would say this is one of those cases where it doesn't.  If the vendor won't/can't use their own CRM software because the UI is too ugly/clumsy or other reason, why should I as a customer. 
    As a customer I don't want to purchase a CRM software and then have to purchase a better UI to go on top of the software.  I might as well spend the money on software that might have a better UI perceived by my sales folks(think siebel, salesforce.com, sugarcm, etc), and spend those dollars on integration instead.  It's a lot cheaper to do integration work, than completely rewrite the UI to meet my users needs.
    I'm also wondering why SAP would even send this message by displaying this article on SDN? I'm sure if the guys at oracle saw this article, we would see a press release from that says something of the like:
    "Even SAP acknowledges, that SAP CRM is too difficult to use".
    I bring this up because we are selling use of SAP CRM 2007 in house right now, and it makes it harder for me to sell the solution to my business users, if there are conflicting messages on the market. 
    Take care,
    Stephen

    > Wow, you almost have the "nightmare" scenario when it comes to maintenance.  I just have to ask what functional areas (high level) did you implement?  Was it the marketing module?
    I can tell you...
    We were using Mobiles Sales with activities, campaigns, sales documents and master data and we switched that to CRM 2005 and Portal (+ adding BI reporting functionality with BI-CRM content). For the Java part there's enough said (by me) already, I won't start again with that (mess). The CRM looked pretty well at first sight but devil's in the detail.
    > The marketing module in CRM 40 was so unstable on SP08 that basically we ditched the application and wrote something custom in the SAP GUI instead.  Any t-code that had over 400 related notes(segment builder) is just a nightmare not to mention just plain bugs in the PCUI that we weren't willing to wait a month for fixes.
    Well.. people have always be VERY helpful, especially the guys and girls in India were doing a very good job at fixing bugs - once the communication was done via email and not via phone...;) But you're right - it's taking sometimes too much time to get a fix and yet-another-note.
    > I still think the SAP GUI sometimes beats the web based interfaces, once you learn how to use it.  The problem was that everyone got obessed with zero-client installations and forgot about the benefits of "specialized" clients.  Now everyone is basically trying to make a web browser work like a desktop client, which puts you back full circle.  
    Everyone THINKS it's zero installation but in fact you have to configure proxy exceptions, add/install certificates, enable/disable Javascript things, add trusted sites, (re-)configure firewalls on Laptops, delete browser caches, install SVG viewer and other "plugins", install and maintain security fixes for the browser etc. etc. and this on a distributed environment where our sales reps are spread over the whole world in different time zones. So the "zero-installation" is nothing but marketing flowery because the maintenance you needed to put into Mobile Sales is now needed for the browser - nice antagonism
    > In would have been interesting to see how well SAP would have fared if they had made the mistake of making the original R/3 application 2-tier instead of a 3-tier client/server. 
    It's been like that @ R/2 times and I must tell you I loved the green screens (http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/images_hist/R2-0.GIF and http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/images_hist/SCREENO1.GIF)

  • Can Web Service Consumption in SAP CRM 7.0 handle multiple records

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where in I need to Consume a web service in SAP CRM. The response of the web service will have multiple records.
    My questions is will Web Service Consumption in SAP CRM 7.0 be able to handle these records in a popup or not.
    I would like to know whether it is feasible or not.

    Hi Kavita,
    There is a standard column in UWL with name 'Sent Date'. Other functionalities in UWL for example deadline monitoring (Due date column) are based on this sent date. This shows an employee what was the date workitem was created (sent date) and when it will get escalated (due date). Displaying forwarding date in Sent date will not give clear picture to employee as the deadline will be calculated based on sent date only not based on forwarding date. this was just an example.
    even though if your client is insisting, i dont think it can be done without any enhancement in UWL web dynpro com sort of thing. you can check with your portal consultant too.

  • Relevance Engine in SAP CRM 7.0

    Does SAP support or have Relevance Engine concept in SAP CRM 7.0 or any plans for SAP to build this process.
    Some brief on relevance engine (taken from Lead PAC )
    How does the Relevance Engine Work?
    In a nutshell, at the core of the LeadPACu2122platform is online audience data. We u201Cgroupu201D people based on business demographic data such as industry, company size, job function, seniority, subscription information, business registrations and more. Each group is then associated with thousands of B2B ad categories and topics based on aggregated, non-personally identifiable behavioral information.
    When you launch your campaign, the LeadPACu2122 Relevance Engine automatically identifies those groups that are most likely to find your ad relevant, based on responses to previous, similar campaigns.
    The Relevance Engine includes a vast library of topics, grouped into categories. This topic-level grouping allows the Relevance Engine to tap into behavior across similar topics. The library is constantly expanding as more and more topics are added and associated with one another. This real-time, adaptive prioritization ensures that, at all times, your ads are reaching the most relevant people.
    Relevance Scoring
    For each campaign, the Relevance Engine identifies which groups are included in the list. For each group, it calculates a score based on that groupu2019s aggregated responses to the same or similar topics. Past behavioral responses are weighted according to a series of rules.
    For example:
    u2022 Different responses, such as opens, clicks and unsubscribes, are weighted differently
    u2022 A recent click for the same topic has a heavier weight than a click that happened six months ago.
    u2022 A click for the same topic has a heavier weight than a click for a related topic.
    As each group is scored, they are ranked in decreasing order of relevance. Groups that fall below a certain scoring
    threshold are omitted from the campaign. The groups that will find the ads most relevant are selected to receive
    the campaign, and scores and rankings are recalculated real-time as those people respond to the ad.

    Hello chetan,
    I just have the same question.... Is there a too or functionality in CRM 7.0 that covers a Lead scoring?
    What was your result? What was your solution?
    Thanks,

  • Forwarded successfully the workitem for BO-BUS2000220(complaint) in the worklist of other user: Problem in "Sent date"  not reflecting correctly in SAP CRM 7.0 Web UI

    I am working with SAP CRM 7.0. We have a workflow in the system which is triggered at the creation of complaint(BO:BUS2000220) and then assign the complaint workitem

  • SAP CRM 7.0 Webclient - Product Identification (IBase or IObject)

    Dear SAP IC-Experts ,
    I am new in the configuration of the SAP Interaction Center (SAP CRM 7.0) and have a process orientated question.
    In my proyect the company is producing bathroom products which are installed in hotels, private homes, etc.. They sell their products via partner so they in most cases dont know where there products are installed until the end-user calls when they have a service problem. In the Interaction Center I have seen the Account and Product-identification Workcenter Page.
    1. My first question is do I have to use IBase or IObjects to save the proyects in the Database? If I understood correctly IObjects can only be used if I have a serial-number for example which are used for cars or laptops to be able to uniquely identifie a product. As Bathroom products does not have this this kind of identification number to identify a single object I have to use IBase right? Additionaly I the company sells for example 30 times a shower cabine to a hotel I can not use IObject too because there is installed 30 times the same product in different floors and hotel rooms. This leads me to the conclusion that we have to use IBase which leads my directly to the second question
    2. When using IObjects there is a Create-Button to create a new IOBject but this create button does not exists for a IBase in the View. When the end-user is calling me can I create in a very short time the installed base (IBase)? I hope I could make myself clear?
    Basically I need to know if using IBase or IObjects for bathroom products and if using IBase how can I create it quickly as an IC Agent when the client is calling?
    Best Regards
    Oliver

    Hello Oliver,
    Yes, you are correct. The IObject (individual object) is intended primarily for consumer-facing scenarios involving serialized registered products. For a B2B scenario where a company has a footprint of installed products (whether it be HVAC equipment, plumbing systems, faucets, etc.) it is probably preferrably to use the Installed Base object to model the installation.
    As you noticed, there is no native possibility to directly create new Installed Base hierachies from inside the Interaction Center directly (though there is an option for IObjects). The rationale here is that while a contact center agent would often register a new consumer product, they probably would not usually create new Installed Base hierarchies; rather this is something that, like creation of service contracts for example, is typically done by a Service Professional using the ServicePro role. However, you can always add a link to your IC menu to launch the ServicePro screen for IBase maintenance/creation in order to allow the agent to create or maintain the IBase hierarchy. A little cumbersom of course, but definitely a possible workaround.
    Warm regards,
    John

  • SAP CRM V1.2007 Best Practice

    Hello,
    we are preparing the installation of a new CRM 2007 system and we want to have a good demo system.
    We are considering too options;
    . SAP CRM IDES
    . SAP CRM Best Practice
    knwoing that we have an ERP 6.0 IDES system we want to connect to.
    The Best Practice seems to have a lot of preconfigured scenarios that will not be available in the IDES system (known as the "SAP all in one").
    How can we start the automatic installation of the scenarios (with solution builder) connecting to the ERP IDES system?
    Reading the BP Quick guide, it is mentioned that in order to have the full BP installation we need to have a ERP system with another Best Practice package.
    Will the pre customized IDES data in ERP be recognized in CRM?
    In other words, is the IDES master data, transactional data and organizational structure the same as the Best Practice package one?
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help
    Benoit

    Thanks a lot for your answer Padma Guda,
    The difficult bit in this evaluation is that we don't know exactly the
    difference between the IDES and the Best Practice. That is to say,
    what is the advantage to have a CRM Best Practice connected to an ERP
    IDES as opposed to a CRM IDES system connected to a ERP IDES system?
    As I mentioned, we already have an ERP IDES installed as back end system.
    I believe that if we decide to use the ERP IDES as the ERP back end, we will loose some of the advantage of having an ERP Best practice connected to an CRM best practice e.g. Sales area already mapped and known by the CRM system, ERP master data already available in CRM, transactional data already mapped, pricing data already mapped etc.
    Is that righ? Or do we have to do an initial load of ERP in all cases?
