Answer 1

Well I can't answer this question for you because most of the modules are also strongly related to a specific area in business. And SAP has stopped using the term modules but uses solution now days.

• Financials
• Human Resources
• Customer Relationship Management
• Supplier Relationship Management
• Product Lifecycle Management
• Supply Chain Management
• Business Intelligence

So if I were you I would rather ask myself what kind of business context is attracting me. In my case that would be the Business Intelligence part. But that is completely subjectiv.

Answer 2

In addition to Yves' answer, don't forget the various industry-specific solutions. You'll probably need some luck to get involved with a company that uses or sells services based on one of these, but from my point of view, good IS consultants are rather hard to find and well paid.

Answer 3

You don't need an MBA to get into any of the SAP module. I'd suggest to pick a business area that you have some interest for and try to get a job at a company that runs SAP. It sounds to me that you may have to look into applying for a Business Analyst or Functional Analyst role at such a company. This will allow you to gain both the business knowledge and System knowledge that you may need.

Alternatively you can look for a job at a SAP consulting firm as a Junior Analyst.

Trying to get a SAP certification on your own is very expensive and will not guarantee that you will find a job as a SAP consultant.

Good luck!
