SD MARKET FOR FRESHERS

Hi All,
I have almost 2.5 yrs experience in sales (services) in one of the prestigious Telecom company. My main profile runs around building relationship with the clients and generate revenues. I use CRM also as a part of my Job profile as an end user, mainly to raise the sales orders, contracts and other functions like creation of BP's, etc..
Now I'm planning to do SAP SD certification and for this I might have to leave my job also..Please tell is this worth or its a huge risk...
<b>Is market good for fresher or is it saturated</b>.
Looking forward for your reply.. If I get useful tips I would reward points.
If your feel like sending a email feel free to send to <b><REMOVED BY MODERATOR></b>
Regards
Manish

Dear Sushant,
Your friends may be right, as the market for SD is saturated, particularly when number of SD consultants are around. For that matter, most of the standard modules are coming to standstill, because of the reason the consultants are growing exponentially and opportunities are getting limited. Yes, there would still be opportunities, if you are an established consultant with skills in niche areas.
Nobody is able to suggest the best training institutes.

The future is with analytic market, hence, you should look into BI/BO areas.

  • I am in the market for a new HP Laptop.

    I am in the market for a new HP Laptop seeing as how my current one is starting to die out on me. I am looking for one that would last me at least 3 or more years like my current has and i kinda have one i like in mind at this link:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/envy-17-3-laptop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/9769246.p?id=1219041359741&sk...
    So my my main question is going to be this: Does Best buy match prices or beat them out if i find the same model cheaper and with a mail in rebate on another retailer's website such as office depot?
    I am doing price comparisons right now, because i don't know how long my current HP Pavillion Entertainment PC will hold out. I have had it for 3 years and now my on board graphics chipset or the LCD Monitor one are starting to mess up on me and i had to replace the fan and battery almost 2 or 3 months ago and now this issue is popping up. It boots up with a green screen when i turn it on at the moment, but then after it has warmed up the screen clears back up like normal. So that is why i figured that it is about time for a newer model laptop and where my researching and price comparing will come in down the line.
    If you have any other laptop suggestions for me to at least look at please tell me. I want at least 750 GB or 1 TB HDD and an Intel Core i5 or I7 Processor in these suggestions too, because i do heavy duty Video Editing and Processing for my website and for Video Game Video Walkthroughs and need not only the best Processor it can handle, but for website backups and for the space doing Webcam video recordings can handle too.
    Thanks for any suggestions you may have and if the current one i have linked is worth my time in saving for please be so kind as if to let me know that as well. I don't care if it has a Touch Screen or not. But any suggestion for research is always welcome.

    The RAM of my HP Pavillion Dv4-2164us model is currently 4, but it is starting to boot up with a green screen when I first start it. So I am thinking about going with the J020 Envy which is a 17 Screen display or I might go for this:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/envy-touchsmart-17-3-touch-screen-laptop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/18203... if I go 4th gen Intel Core i7 Processor and Touch Screen
    The next thing after I save up after getting whatever next Laptop I buy will be a Cooling Pad and an External HDD that I can put into one of the USB Ports or where ever you hook them up so that I can backup it up for a rainy day as they say.
    The only reason why I am not opting for the becoming popular SSD is the Price tag to get the amount of space I would need is still out of my price range if I got one included. I have to be realistic and on budget as much as I don't want to be.
    If I went 4th gen I5 I might get something like this:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/envy-17-3-laptop-8gb-memory-750gb-hard-drive/2354033.p?id=1219072210771&...
    I would have shown a 15 screen laptop, but the CD/DVD Combo drive is not included in any of them. I would need one to back up my new laptop's OS and files the first week I use it to save from having to reformat or reinstall stuff if things even got messed up.
    I have been thinking a lot about all of this not like it was a just now knowing this type of thing either. I have known for some time about that. Thanks for trying to help too.

  • Blackberry is popular in Iran despite sanctions-​a great market for blackberry

    Iran is considered the largest market for cellular phones in the middle east [guardian].
    Blackberry z10 sales have started since February in the world. There is no official Blackberry store in Iran, but market demand has made importers bypass restrictions to bring Blackberry z10 products into the country 48 hours after the canada!!! 
    Because of recent sanctions by usa, the price of dollors became triple since last year and Iranians have to pay more money to buy a smart phone. salary of an engineer in iran become $250 per month !! (I used this example to let you know about the situation). So number of selling smart phones reduced %50 and unfortunately Apple and Blackberry lost a huge market in middle east.Three another companies (samsung,LG and sony) still remain in iran and by financial supporting of iran's government and good relationship with japan and s-korea they have good market.
    In middle of February the price of z10 was more than $1500 in iran (equal to 6 months salary of an engineer in iran!!) but fortunetly the price have decreased continuously since march. The BB z10 is selling about $600 in market now. However, I belived that most of them are refurbished and is sold to us as new one!! 
    There is a great potential for selling Blackberry in iran. About %40 of iranians are under 30 years old (about 30 million people) and most of them so interested in loyal and American smart phones such as iphone.
    After coming BB z10 to iran, many people prefer to use it to iphone. a lot of stores started to sell BB z10 and many seller said iphone placement will replaced by BB z10. but after 1 month many customers returning their Z10s and they wanted to sell it with cheaper price.They said all services was blocked in iran. it was not possible to update BB OS, you can't to buy applicaions from app store, you can't to use BB email,BBM ,.... . Many buyer complained that the GPRS is deactive by BB and wifi disconnected continual by BB sever. so the BB services that you can use iran is equal to Nokia 1100. 
    Itunes and google play also have been closed their services to iranians. However, a lot of way exists to use their service . For example by changing IP, using VPN or rooting ( or jailbreaking) mobile phones you can access ti itunes. so BB will lost a great market in the world. I read a news about returning BB z10 in usa. If BB had official service and store in iran (similar to samsung,LG,sony), they would sold more than 1 million smart phone in iran. 
    The focus of the sanctions has been on Iran's banks and oil industry, Iranian individuals and companies that Western capitals believe are assisting what they suspect is Tehran's drive towards a nuclear weapons capability. However I belived that eventhough sanctions made a lot of problem for iranians in iran, a lot of problem also has been made for western companies such as BB which interest to be iran market. 
    at the end I have some suggestion for BB company, If they want to sell their mobile phones in iran:
    1. please let iranians install application from app world and let get updates (do not fear!! no body use them for nuclear prog ram )
    2. please add persian keyboard to your os (you can add 5 letter to arabic keyboard to convert it to persian, it is not difficult).
    3. please add the name of iran to your country lists and let us to register in your website.
    4. find a local distributor in iran and import your device legal. government give importer companies dollar with cheaper price, so company can sell smartphones with lower price in iran. 
    Mohammad

    I think, i success.
    App store of blackberry, Google, Apple will open to Iranians soon. USA omitted mobile phone sanctions two days ago. Also, North american companies could open local distributor in iran:

  • In the market for a new laptop..

    Hi everyone,
    i am currently in the market for a new laptop and seeking some advice.
    I am debating between getting a basic rMBR 15' 2.4 GhZ 8/256 model and MBR 2.3 GhZ 4/500. The price for the basic rMBR 15' 2.4 GhZ 8/256 model is 1,867 euros with Apple's friends and family discount i am getting (stock price is 2250 euros here in Ireland). MBR 15' 2.3 GhZ 4/500 starts at 1850 euros and i am not getting friends and family discount off that (don't want to go into details). In any case this isn’t the sort of cash I have lying around.
    Apple’s rMBP is a wonder of modern engineering, there is no doubt about that. What i am concerned about is all the software that has to update to add higher res images which takes time and a lot more space because they are effectively doubling the size of the image and my general browsing experience where buttons, logos and anything affected by Photoshop’s “Save for the Web” setting will look blurry or pixelated. This is certainly not the kind of experience I am looking forward to after spending 2k on a laptop.
    I'm not a heavy user also I like to take my stuff around with me and I do a little Pro Tools and Logic once in a while.
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    What you were told is not correct. Apple doesn't care where your music originated and nothing will be "blocked", but you can only sync your iPhone to one device at a time.
    When you first connect your iPhone to a different Mac or PC, you will see a dialog similar to the following (substitute iPhone for iPad - the result is the same):
    It will do exactly what it says. If you "Erase and Sync" the iPhone will be erased first. So, make sure whatever music you have on the iPhone is stored someplace else first. Transfer that music to your new Mac's iTunes Library, and then sync your iPhone to it. You will lose nothing that way.

  • Are Palm OS or Pocket PC viable markets for J2ME?

    Hi,
    On the current issue of JDJ, there is an article called "J2ME: Has it time finally arrived?" where the author talks about how J2ME is becoming more mature on the cellphone market. But then the author says:
    Again, we're talking mobile phones here -- PDAs running Palm OS or Pocket PC just aren't a viable market for J2ME development as of yet, because they have alternative programming tools and languages and generally more open platforms.
    Is this true? Judging from personal experience, plus threads in this forum like Open letter to SUN to produce a JRE for Pocket PC, there seems to be some truth to this claim.
    I would like to hear other developer's opinions on this. Has your company abandoned Java development on Windows CE (or Pocket PC) and moved to .NET Compact Framework instead? Or is your company perfectly comfortable with using Java under those environments, except for a few hiccups? Why or why not?
    Thanks,
    Nicolas Rivera

    Hi Nicolas,
    Is this true? Judging from personal experience, plus
    threads in this forum like Open letter to SUN to
    produce a JRE for Pocket PC, there seems to be
    some truth to this claim.Unfortunately there not exists a supported free JVM for Pocket PC 2003
    devices, there exists some commercial implementations but I haven't found a truly RAD tool to develop java apps for this platform.
    I've suffered with pain the old embedded Visual Basic and Visual C environments from Microsoft for mobile devices and I'm suffering the Compact Framework. They've created an acceptable tool like Visual Studio but it's not much better than alternatives with Java.
    I can't believe Sun would have surrender to Microsoft in this apps market but I think they've done it.

    I've heard of some companies developing Java apps in a PC environment and then deploy them in PocketPC by using only the right subset of classes.
    Hope this helps.

  • I'm in the market for the new Mac Pro.

    I'm in the market for the new Mac Pro. I've been waiting for it to be released and have some cash set aside for this. I am a video editor and use Premiere Pro CC, and After Effects. My primary content is simple documentary films - so nothing too intense, but always HD (1080) video. I don't see 4k in my future but it's always a possibility so I want to future-proof my purchase for the next 3 years or so. With respect to storage space and RAM, I can make that decision myself based mostly on cashflow (since they are likely both user-expandable). However, with the basic configuration of the number of cores and video graphics card, I could use some advice. I think they are both set for the life of the computer, so important to get it right.
    My current thinking is to start with the 6 core model (I guess I have no real reason for this decision, except that I feel like the 4-core base model is put there to make the price feel lower, while the real advantages in performance start at the 6 core - am I way off on this one?). But, I wonder if I should spring for the 8 core or even the 12 core? Probably overkill for me - out of my budget anyway.
    The other decision is the graphics card - is the D500 enough? Will it be limiting factor in the future? Or should I move to D700?
    Here are the cost differences:
    from 6 core to 8 core is $1500
    from D500 to D700 is $600
    Which is worth it? (neither, both?)
    Thanks.

    Whether it's worth it depends more on you and what your current and future needs are.
    The good news is that Adobe's CC apps can already take advantage of the AMD FirePro GPU's in the Mac Pro, and offer hardware acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine, which you'll see in Premiere, After Effects, and Media Encoder.  According to the Adobe staffers I've talked to, even the FirePro D300's will see a big benefit, in fact they say you won't see a big bump by upgrading the GPU.  As far as Adobe's apps are concerned, their OpenCL use is all single precision, and the D500/D700 upgrades put a lot of weight in double precision performance (which is unused in their apps).  Their recommendation - put the bulk of your budget on cores and RAM.
    How many depends on how elaborate and complex your work is.  Simple documentary films with the odd effects, transitions, titles, and grading.. you'd be fine with a 6-core IMO.  If you're leaning towards getting into really layered comps and effects, you'd shorten those long render times down a lot with the 8-core.  As for memory, I'd recommend at least 4GB per physical core.
    Good luck!

  • Is there a market for a WireFusion Xlet player?

    Hello,
    We are considering creating a WireFusion Xlet player and are wondering if there is any market for such a player. With WireFusion, one can create fast and compact Web3D presentations that are fully Java 1.1/Personal Java compatible and we can probably have an Xlet player ready in a few weeks if the market is interresting.
    Any feedback about this is appreciated.

    Yuh think ! ? !
    That was 75% of the reason. It was waaaaay overpriced.
    The ports being on the bottom, where no one could get at them, was another big reason it was not accepted by the public.
    I am among those who have been pushing for a desktop system with a mini-like footprint, but imac-like performance -- but I've been advocating this since before the Mini existed.
    One idea I put forward in my Mac User Group's newsletter was for a machine just slightly taller than a mini that docks into a cinema display-type monitor. This would allow apple to sell them together for an imac experience, or separately.
    Regardless of whether or not they did the docking thing, this is the computer system that could really bring about great Mac acceptance in the corporate world. But of course Apple ignores that space and seem deaf to the needs of industry.

  • Is There a Market for Spreadsheets?

    I've built a Numbers spreadsheet that might be worth 99¢ to someone who trades securities. I've searched the Mac App store and didn't find any Numbers spreadsheets there, except collections of templates. Is there a market for useful spreadsheets? Is there an exchange where spreadsheets can be uploaded and downloaded for free?

    This is the email I sent to [email protected]:
    Before I become a paid-up Apple Developer, I'd like to have the answer to this question.
    I've developed a specialized Numbers 09 spreadsheet that might be worth 99¢ to people who trade securities. In the App Stores, I see collections of general Numbers and other iWorks templates, but I don't see any individual, specialized templates or finished spreadsheets. Are these allowed to be sold in the App Stores?
    By and by I got this more-or-less boilerplate reply:
    Dear Wayne,
    Thank you for contacting the App Review team. Apple is not able to provide pre-approval for proposed application submissions or to review and comment on application concepts or code. That said, all submissions to the App Store must be fully functional apps, as stated in the App Store Review Guidelines:
    2.12: Apps that are not very useful. are simply web sites bundled as apps, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected
    Please review the App Store Review Guidelines against the specific application you wish to develop. The App Store Review Guidelines can be found at <https://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html>.
    In addition, we strongly recommend reviewing the “iOS Developer Program License Agreement,” “iOS Human Interface Guidelines,” and “In App Purchase Programming Guidelines” to ensure that your application is in compliance with all documentation.
    For tips on preparing your application for submission and other information about App Store approval process, visit:http://developer.apple.com/iphone/appstore/approval.html.
    We look forward to reviewing your app.
    John
    So I don't know much more now than I did before. Is a Numbers template an "app?" Is it worth the $99 Developer fee to submit my spreadsheet for review? What's the probability I'll sell enough (142 copies) to recoup the $99? I'll think about it.

    SWU_OBUF really should do the same trick as the job. (I neither can remeber the job name.)
    Did you have some transaction(s) open in another session(s), when you executed SWU_OBUF. This might have a really annoying effect: the SWU_OBUF doesn't seem to do its job. For example I once had SE37 open in another session, and SWU_OBUF didn't do the trick (tried many times). After closing SE37, it suddenly worked...

  • In the market for a MBA 13" and cant decide between 128gb vs 256gb. Help please?

    I am in the market for a MBA 13" and cant decide between the 128gb vs 256gb. I will be finishing up grad school within the year and plan on purchasing an iMac to use as the main computer. I would be using the MBA for internet access, some word docs, viewing pdf files, etc. Nothing really heavy, no video/sound editing, or photography type funtions. I would however like to mess with the garage band program but am new to apple and dont have any experience with it. Itunes library is currently about 600 songs and very few pics. I was originally planning on the macbook pro 13" until I talked to a sales person at the apple store who introduced me to the idea of a MBA. I really like the price point of the 128gb vs 256gb but just want to make sure that I am being realistic with size. Help please?

    I've worked part time for an Apple reseller for a very long time and sold a lot of low end computers to people who thought they were going to use the computer for just email and surfing, maybe writing the Christmas letter. It didn't take me long to realize that a lot of those customers were coming back within a year or 18 months to upgrade their computer or replace it with a more powerful one.
    Based on this experience, I try very hard not to let someone walk out of the store with the low end MBA if that's the only computer in the household. It can't be upgraded. Since the 2011 MBA shipped I've seen another trend developing - it has happened in my own household, with a lot of the people I work with, and customers too. Despite having another computer, even one that in terms of specs is more powerful than the MBA, a lot of people have turned their MBA into their main computer. With that in mind, the 128GB drive really is the bare minimum and it will be costly to upgrade - not to mention voiding the warranty.

    I'm in the market for a laptop.  Which of Apple's laptops will I best connect 2 external monitors/displays?

    I've just bought a Pro Retina. As far as I know this is the only one which will connect 2 external monitors running different programmes ie not cloned.
    You use the 2 thunderbolt ports for the DVIs (if they're not Apple monitors)
    You need 2 thunderbolt to DVIs. MiniDisplay port to DVI might work too (MIGHT WORK! Not sure yet) and these are a lot cheaper.

  • Market for CRM

    HI People ,
    I just want to know the market for CRM in India and US . I have a business degree and more inclined towards the functional stuff. I have 2 yrs experience being a ABAPer and very much interested in moving to the functional side . Is CRM really good and some people were saying its full of bugs , the software has not been designed well ? Is this is a fact and if so wont it be a problem for CRM technical consultants ? How is it for CRM functional consultants? I am planning to do certification also ? will It help? i know i have asked many questions , but i think i need a break very badly....
    Please, awaiting your valuable replies......
    Thank you .

    Hi Celine,
    more than two years ago i did the step from SCM to CRM.
    At that time it was CRM5.0 which was a bit strange because it had 4 different user interfaces (SAP GUI, people centric UI, java interfaces and also IC webclient).
    Today we are on CRM7.0 and it is better with the CRM webclient UI now. For me it was to right step to start with CRM. I do both technical and functional site. I guess in CRM most of the functional consultants do abap developments as well.
    I wish you the best. Kind regards.
