Hi
Just went through the thread. Providing some basic info in simpler terms. hopefully it will b helpful.
SAP is an integrated software module or package developed by SAP AG (German in origin) that enables organizations to maintain a common HR database in scientific manner. This package helps in efficiently managing wide spectrum of HR functions.
The full form for
SAP is System Application Products (in Data Processing).
It includes various modules / tools to take care of various functions in HR
- Organisation Management
- Personnel Administration
- Recruitment
- Personnel Development
- Compensation Management
- Time Management
- Payroll
- Some Additional Components
Implications HR Professionals
Most of the HR decisions are Data based foolproof maintenance of the same is inevitable. SAP provides streamlined data that can be accessed from anywhere. Integration of data can be helpful in taking rational decision. It can also save the cost of companies from avoiding duplication of work.
About doing SAP course
Doing it from SISL or Genovate will cost high. Its true that companies prefer certified professionals over others but now trend is changing if you have 3+ years of domain experience and 1 year of SAP experience then even if you are not certified, you are accepted.
Again now SAP HR is changed to SAP HCM (next version), though I personally feels its just a change of name with some additional components and basic requirement remains the same your basic understanding of HR workflows and concepts.
