SAP Workflow Certification coming back?

[Neil Gardiner]

Ibrahim,

In all honesty the only thing certification proves is that you are
cable of answering multiple answer questions. In my opinion nothing
replaces real time experience. It's common practice for clients in
both India and the Middle East to require certification and I think
this is a very blinkered approach to choosing the right candidate.

I, for one, will always choose experience over certification.

Regards,
Neil.
