SAP is an IT company, like Microsoft is, but it specialises in developing business software. If you find a job as a SAP expert you could work in a number of roles where you advise on and install only SAP software.
You could become an SAP consultant, project manager, analyst, technician or trainer - basically most of the same roles as in the wider IT environment but only focusing on this one technology.
To work as an SAP specialist you'll need to know all of the SAP products and solutions inside out so you can recommend the best ones for your client's needs.

You'll often find work as a contractor, working on a project basis. You could also work for a consultancy that installs SAP software for a range of clients. Or you could even work directly for SAP, which is a huge multi-national company with offices in 50 countries.
Many of the jobs on offer will be client-facing so you'll need to dress smartly to create a good impression.

Qualified SAP engineers, project managers and technicians earn in the region of £52,000 to £58,000, and often much more.

1. Extensive technical knowledge
2. An ability to explain technical information to non-technical people
3. Excellent communications skills
4. Good negotiating skills
5. A good business understanding
6. Team-working and team management experience
7. Good project management skills
8. Good organisation and problem-solving skills
9. A methodical and analytical approach

All the best as you choose the right path
