How to learn SAP and make it stick

Thumbnail image for How to learn SAP and make it stick

I have just completed my SAP BI (Business Intelligence) training. If you have been following my blog for a while now, you would have noticed that I have been posting my notes and I view this as a good way to learn.

I have also noticed that you have to do a lot of practice when learning SAP. If you learn how to play golf, you can get all theory you want, but if you don’t go out and hit some balls, you will never be good at it. Even after you have been on the job for a couple of years, you will still have to do some practice in you spare time to freshen up on the skills which you have not been in contact with on a day to day basis. The amount of knowledge you have to know to master SAP Business intelligence is vast. This should not discourage you from learning. You only have to master the basics and the rest is derived from it. By the basics, I mean reporting, modelling concepts, performance tuning concepts etc.
