Hello there.

I'm working as a Director of IT for a medium sized non-profit at the moment and have been researching new IT career paths.

I've read a little about SAP and the wide variety of opportunities it offers.

I manage a team of 5 IT pros and have been in the field for 12 years.

I'm wondering what direction or best path would be for me to get involved with a SAP career?

Thank you for any help you may offer.

Hi Bradley,

Since you are in such a senior position, you should look for a position where in you can manage SAP Practices
in any IT service company.

Leon

  Thanks Leon. Do you recommend a specific SAP certification that might help me gain such a position?

    Hi Bradley,
    
    SAP certifications are not really meant for positions at which you work. It doesn't help you. Certifications are meant
    for consultants who work for customers to customize SAP applications as per their requirement.
    
    Since you are already holding such a senior position, I don't think you are looking for such a job profile in SAP.
    
    Regards,
    Leon
