Re: New Year Career Aspirations?
Danday wala, what do you mean by 'started out this year'... what exactly are you planning to do? What exactly are you doing? what background do you have relating to specific functional areas?
I dont really agree with your seniors comments.. I think SAP is already HUGE enough, and more than enough market penetration to not 'fail miserably'. If anything, SAP is aggresively trying to break into the small to medium business markets now and also concentrating alot more on the value adding areas like CRM and BI etc.
I meant to say that I joined SAP (SAP SI, to be precise) from the beginning of this year. Within EMEA focus group Risk management, they have started a new department called "Fachbereich Security" and I'll be working there as a consultant. I have a background in IT Security.
Yeah I know, they told us about the focus on small and mid size markets during the introduction session. Our senior just wanted us to motivate I guess. He gave us few examples, the companies which were ranked as #2 in the world are no where to be seen today. And also that in mid 90s SAP was almost bankrupt! They are aggressively trying to break into small and mid size business, but so are many of SAP's competitors!
I admit, my knowledge of SAP is very limited, therefore I'll be finding out during the next few weeks what exactly my duties are going to be. For that purpose, they have arranged a mentor and a whole spectrum of on-job training program for me, so lets see.
This acronym world of SAP drives me crazy!
You are most probably with the region "Americas" , right?
PS. Ah, are we getting off-topic here? :D
