You can comfortably run this at 1.5X speed.
Thanks. So helpful 😂
yeah totally
hahahahahahaha
2X or more. SAP isn't a particularly gripping topic, but his slow delivery, monotone and approach make this 25 minutes seem like 2 hours.
I am dying ! :D :D :D :D Its all true
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I have a job interview tomorrow and I badly needed to study about SAP. This video helped me a lot. Thank you so much, Mr. Michael!!!
Good luck with the interview!
But.Where are you from Now sister..
Hope you got the job.
@@rachealkigozi4353 I DID. Road to 5 months. Thanks to the Lord 😊
Thank you, too.
Congrats! Is it true starting pay is around $80k?

THANK YOU!!
He took too long for a basic explanation. SAP (acronym for Systems, Applications & Products) is a group of software that allows businesses to track customer and business interactions.
@@anga2674 I was just trying to 'set the scene' for absolute beginners - like the title says.
I appreciate all the information.
LOL that information you posted was really useful and much appreciated!! :)
OMG thank you I was just about to move on and I looked down and saw this!
A good sales man always only mentions good things about something in a good trustable and calming voice. I ended up here to learn sales skills.
Well said!
I'm beginning a 6 month engagement with SAP so, even though it's a few years old now, I appreciate the clarity and broad explanations you provide.
Good luck, Alex! SAP can be a very rewarding career.
Great session! After searching over 7 other so called beginner videos, tried this one. Mr. Michael provided the answers as if he was reading my mind.
Thank you - glad you liked the video!
It was an informative video . A student seeking knowledge of in demand IT skills need more such content. thanks
Thank you! I’m back in the grind of job hunting and everything that I have experience with now requires SAP experience as listed in the job description. The last time I used this software was back in 2012 so I appreciate this quick tutorial. Appreciate this!
I really need this sort of introduction to SAP. I sums it all. Big up to you!!!
Thank you, Mulenga! When you're ready to take some detailed courses have a look here: www.michaelmanagement.com/learning-path/essential-sap-skills
Hi Thomas Michael! Thanks for the crash course! I love big data systems (had two jobs that were AS/400 based DB2 applications) and will be interviewing for a position that has SAP soon. I really didn't know much about it but it sounds like the kind of thing I would enjoy working with.
Did you see we now have two completely FREE courses? Check them out - www.michaelmanagement.com/sap-training-course/sap-fundamentals-for-beginners and ecs.page.link/x62t1 We love helping you grow your career!
It was my experience with Delta Airlines SAP products as a contractor is what resulted in an offer letter to work for them directly!
Congrats, Rebecca!!!
Dude thank you for the explanation! Exactly what I needed.
You're welcome!
I listened and watched your presentation but never hear any thing about SAP but only history about SAP, I'm very much interested in learning about SAP
Great! We can help. We have a lot of beginner courses that can get you started in SAP and advanced courses when you are ready. Take a look at these courses here www.michaelmanagement.com/courses.asp
matthew If you know where to get free education or experience in SAP please share.
thank you for this thorough vide, I'll be working on SAP soon and wanted to get a basic idea of what it entailed. Many thanks
Glad you liked it, Angela! Here are the most popular learning path for common SAP jobs: www.michaelmanagement.com/learning-path
Thank you. I was pretty sure that I'd worked with SAP systems all these years but it has been in so many formats over the decades, I didn't realise that it was the same underlying system (new versions). I just picked up whatever I had to do...the firms I worked for would give it their own name, presumably because they had a customised version of modules...the only SAP I recalled was the grey version!
And now that I'm grey, I realise I've worked with all of these except some of the nitty gritty tech applications. I never called it SAP skills because I do admin whether doing database/records management, sales, payroll or HR admin, supply chain, invoicing, EOM or EOFY reconciliations, transacting in foreign currency conversion....I just called it whatever the business practice was e.g. accounting, finance, payroll, procurement etc. Viz the actual task, not the software (name) behind it. I guess I'm old school, using new tools.
Yes, SAP seems to be used just about everywhere - glad you liked this video. Thank you!
SAP is just so smooth. I learnt what I needed in over 2 weeks. Working as a ward clerk and I use it in ordering and purchasing consumables and meds for the unit. Also for managing inventory together with bayanaty.
Can you suggest any CZcams channel to learn basicse??
@@moonijaz9012 I actually learnt everything from the job. After the initial face, I just started exploring the whole system. I find this channel interesting . My support solutions.
clear and concise. The best SAP Guide I have ever found on the internet.
Ive watched 20 videos on SAP and all of them, including this one, can't tell me what SAP actually is in a few sentences.
Here it is: Imagine that leaders of every corporate function - sales, distribution, HR, everything - made an excel spreadsheet to track things. Along comes the CEO and wants to know "how is our inventory affected by sales cycle time?" No one's spreadsheet follows the same logic, so the answer takes a gazillion years to answer.
SAP is the unifying spreadsheet across all departments that gives actionable business insights.
Somewhere, a mic just dropped.
This is one of the best presentations on SAP. Thank you very much.
Thank you!
Michael , this was a perfect introduction video about SAP that I needed, the company that I worked with has used Oracle and SAP solutions for years. I didn't know SAP was a German company, that is a bit of a pause for me as Germans and for that matter some Europeans can be very head strong even if they are wrong, so you have to keep calm and stay focused on what the goal is.
Glad you liked it! When you're ready to dive into the SAP world in more detail have a look at this learning path:

I do have a manufacturing background but my previous company doesn't use this software and now I'm struggling to land a job because it requires SAP knowledge... need to study SAP harder 😊 thanks for the content
Thank you, Sherlock - we even have a learning path to make this easier for you: www.michaelmanagement.com/learning-path/essential-sap-skills-s4hana
Just a pointer,, when people watch how to videos they don’t need the complete origin story before even knowing what they’re getting in to. If I watch a video about building a wooden box, the fact the wood came from a tree in Minnesota isn’t really the most important info. I watched for 5 minutes and still didn’t even see the basic outlook yet. I don’t think knowing what town in Germany it originated is getting anyone hired, we need to see how to operate the program.
Origin stories are important - even for wooden boxes! We think understanding the backstory is part of understanding the whole story. This is why we watch most videos, including those about boxes, on 1.5x.
Great video. Very informative. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Interview tomorrow, this helped. Thank you
Good luck, Folasade!
Thank you so much Michael 💞

Thank God. A clear presentation.
Glad you liked it
15 minutes in and you finally address the main point of the video. I know why I need to learn SAP, thats why I clicked on the video
Good for you, Rohan...but then this video is not for you. This is for absolute beginners who do not know what SAP is - just like the title and description indicate. You seem to be past that point already.
Thanks a million Rohan, next time put exact time stamp
Thanks so much. Great presentation.
Glad it was helpful!
Before the session (I do not know anything about SAP)....After the session (I still do not know anything about SAP, maybe even more confused) ! :)
The purpose of this video is to explain that SAP is a software company, and the majority of large companies use it. #SAPTraining
can we have the practical aspect of SAP that will help beginners who has not work with any organisation using SAP
Hello huge thanks for the video. I would like work by aviation industry and I wonder which SAP product should I learn ? Thanks already!

I use SAP back in 2015 and now im trying to Relearn it due to a Job for SAP Receiving and inventory ERP systems.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Great video! I kinda get SAP
Thank you.
Thanks
Hello Michael, great info! For someone with a non-technical background such as business, but have become a super-user. Is it advisable to look into certification to help get implementation support roles in my org? Or should I take some computer science modules. If so, what areas are useful (coding, like python?)
Thanks for the compliment - glad you like the video. Typically, I think most people go from new user > super user > business/IT analyst (who supports configuration for the users). If you're not very technical, coding might not be a good fit. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video. i have an interview with an aerospace company. I will sign up for your class.
Good luck with the interview, Keekee!
@@Michaelmanagement thanks. I didn't get the position due to no experience in SAP. So, your class is greatly needed.

Keekee.....what is d name of dat aerospace company??
Very explanatory on this slide
Great content 👍
Thank you 🙌
I searched a lot of links and I found no clarity in SAP. I couldn't tell if it was a German company or standard software for business and it was both but maybe it was me but still I couldn't make sense of it until this video, Thank you so much. I also have a Job Interview tomorrow.
Yes - It is a software company, just like Microsoft is a software company. So yes, it is a German company that sells software. You got it and good luck.
Great content this video very helpful but I would like to ask for a Financial Analyst what is the best SAP path to take the ERP or CRM
