The Real Cost of SAP Training

Having implemented SAP training for several large organizations it seemed pretty apparent to me that this training was vastly overpriced. Recently we were asked to roll out about 20 weeks of classes for a major defense contractor and we looked at few different options, of course the first option was to use official SAP. Having experienced that process first hand I knew we could do better. We partnered with a content provider who indeed provided proprietary content without the fancy hard cover books and rolled out the most comprehensive SAP training I’ve seen to date for a fraction of the cost. The client was thrilled and this alone has led to a # of different offerings that have nothing to do with SAP. The first being JD Edwards training which was delivered in the exact same manner and now a large SharePoint portal training is imminent.



It’s always a surprise to find clients out there who insist on using SAP for SAP training.
