  2. You always wanted to know what SAP is about but couldn’t find a short and complete explanation? You’re in the right place! This article answers the first five questions about SAP from the perspective of a freelancer... info@freelancermap.com

  3. 1. What’s SAP? SAP is a software package for ERP or an enterprise resource planning. The acronym itself stands for “Systems, Applications and Products”. That’s very broad and doesn’t really tell you a lot though. Or does it? The fact is, SAP is actually a very broad frame which allows you to do almost anything connected with your business – accounting, customer relationships, sales, inventory, HR, resource management and the list goes on and on. But you don’t necessarily have to use every component of the puzzle – the good thing about SAP is that it can be tailored to the preferences of individual clients so that it suits their business. info@freelancermap.com

  4. 2. How popular is it and why? Here are some numbers that show just how crazy popular SAP software is. SAP has 300,000 customers in 190 countries, they include 87% of the Forbes Global 2000 companies and 98% of the 100 most valued brands. These come from the new updated fact sheet by SAP so feel free to take them with a grain of salt. But SAP has been a number one name in its market for quite a while now. It can also be intimidating, especially to smaller to medium businesses. How do they handle that? Many hire SAP consultants. This is where you can come in. info@freelancermap.com

  5. 3. Why would I want to look into SAP as a freelancer? There are several reasons for considering SAP as your freelancing field. It is in high demand and has been for a while. Unlike other fields of expertise, there is no clear way towards educating yourself as a SAP freelancer, e.g. little to no availability of university courses. SAP is also a dream come true for slowly building up your experience. The variety is huge – companies from virtually every market use it, and they do so for different things, working with different kinds of modules. This gives you, the freelancer, a lot of freedom, a huge amount of network opportunities and the space to grow. Last but not least, good SAP consultants are among the highest paid freelancers. info@freelancermap.com

  6. 4. What else do I need to know? SAP is something you’ll have to constantly learn and improve upon, so be prepared for that. Additionally, there might always be the nagging thought in your head that SAP’s downfall can end your career. It’s very unlikely, but not entirely unreasonable. Infor, Microsoft Dynamics and Oracle are all popular ERP’s that might offer some good synergy effects if SAP doesn’t work out for you after a while. We already mentioned modules – think of them as parts of SAP. Most freelancers pick a couple which they focus on – doing sales, HR and manufacturing all at the same time is extremely unlikely. How do you pick one? Your previous working experience is a good start since it might help you understand some modules. info@freelancermap.com

  7. 5. How do I get into it? Because of the popularity of SAP there are a ton of resources out there to get you started. If you’re into self-training, you’ll find it. If you want to the official route, you can also do it. There are probably a bunch of offline trainings and courses in your area. If not, there are definitely a lot of online ones. In short, if you want to start building a career as a SAP freelancer, you can do it. Just make sure it’s the thing you want by talking to other people in the market and reading up online on both success and failure stories. You can learn from both! info@freelancermap.com
