SAP Workflow Certification coming back?

Thu Aug 6 17:33:17 EDT 2009

Nee.

All things being equal, I would hire a SAP-certified workflow consultant
first.
It's a tangible, 'objective' measure, whereas 'workflow experience' is
often in the eye of the beholder (or rather the job candidate).

Sure, if someone already has a solid CV and references, then it wouldn't
make that much difference.
But for a more junior position - or even someone trying to break into
workflow - a certificate would be very valuable indeed.

Bring it back, I say.

Hi Sue,
  Thanks for you reply. I do agree your thoughts but In some places
especially in Middle east, clients are asking for certified consultants
with right experience.

Ibrahim

  Hi Ikhan,

  I think it is safe to say that SAP Workflow Certification is not coming
  back.  SAP is still offering the basic Workflow Courses, and there has
  been a lot of debate over what Certification really means.  For example,
  is that your only criteria for whether you hire a consultant?  What does
  Certification *really* mean?  Would you prefer to hire someone who has
  4-5 projects under their belt, or someone whose resume is light, but does
  have Certifications?

  At any rate, there is still some quality education being offered out
  there and while we (I?) try keep this forum clear of marketing pitches, I
  think that this offering, created in part by our own Ginger Gatling, may
  be useful.

  And also, since I am bending the rules, let’s not forget the new version
  of Practical Workflow for SAP, which is available via SAP-Press.

  If I should hear more on the front of Workflow Certification, I will
  certainly pass that information on to this group.

  Regards,

  Sue

  Hi Friends,
    Any idea whether SAP Workflow Certification is coming back? Some months
  before one of our SAP WUG'ers did a survey on this and published the
  results.
  After that no updates on that. If any one has any information please
  share it.

  Regards,
  Ikhan
