SAP functional consultants have a very important role in the companies of today and in the business world in general. Many successful businesses around the globe benefit from hiring one or even several SAP functional consultants. The basic task of a functional consultant is to evaluate the needs of the customers and see how those needs can best be met.

In order to get an accurate idea of what the needs of the customers are, SAP functional consultants discusses the topic with those who are in direct contact with the customers and address their needs directly: the customer service people. The information acquired from the customer service people is entered in the computer. SAP functional consultants use computer software to keep track of all the needs the customers seem to have, what needs are currently met, and what needs are common but are still in need of being addressed.

The next step of the SAP functional consultant is investigating thoroughly which departments need to be adjusted to the needs of the different clients. A plan is being drafted addressing these particular needs and the departments that are involved get specific instructions from the SAP functional consultant on how to establish change. The software is used to store all the details of the addressed needs and the related departments have access to this stored information at all times. The related departments need to be trained in using the stored information to their benefit and in many companies it is the SAP functional consultant who addresses the issues and instructs the employees in an educational in-service on the matter. Often the SAP functional consultant organizes mock exercises at unexpected times to detect potential flaws in the solution, to identify who is truly trained well and to identify who needs additional training or who purposely avoids using the changed or new instructions.



Overall, the SAP functional consultant is the person who is best equipped to answer any questions on the operation and the needs for change of the business. SAP consultants are in a position where they understand the problems and tribulations of the staff involved in direct customer service. They present effectively all problems and solutions to superiors in the company.

Just by plugging in some numbers and facts of real-time issues, the software produces all necessary diagrams that give a clear view of all problems and solutions over a certain length of time. Many existing problems can usually be solved by implementing specific rules and by giving guidelines on how to deal with certain incidents and situations that seem to occur occasionally. Employees are in general expected to comply with all these guidelines and procedures that are suggested and available for review on all computer screens anywhere in the business. More and more companies make sure that their employees have constant access to all this information and try to ensure that they actually do review all the information. One way of doing this is by making them sign in and mark off procedures that are perfected. SAP functional consultants oversee that employees actually follow all older as well as all new company policies, and they address all issues when certain individuals neglect to do so. In that case it is standard procedure for SAP functional consultants to discuss the issues with the respective team leads of the individuals who chose not to comply.

All SAP functional consultants end up as business consultants also, but not all business consultants are SAP functional consultants. More expertise and schooling is demanded from the SAP functional consultant. A business consultant often acts and educates others based on personal views and beliefs. SAP functional consultants do not grant themselves that luxury. They address the needs of customers, as well as o potential customers, based on the facts that were collected by the different departments and the customer service department in particular. They use the information from the facts that were already put in the computer system and act upon this information offering advice. The advice too is then recorded and it is advisable that all employees have access to all the information at any given time in the future.

SAP functional consultants are a major asset to any company. Their value is enormous and their pay reflects accordingly. They are among the most valuable employees of any company, even though not all people working for a particular company will agree to that statement. Undoubtedly most customer service personnel will claim that their department is underpaid and more important than any other department. While it is evident that the employees of the customer service department are very valuable to any company, the working of the company and the customer service department would be considerably less competent without the input of the SAP functional consultant.

SAP functional consultants are in high demand. Good SAP functional consultants who have completed their training are often sought by companies of all sizes. Most companies are specifically looking for SAP functional consultants who graduated from the finest ITT or similar technical institutes and have some very relevant experience with the software. A business degree in combination with that is overall very appreciated. Experienced and well-seasoned SAP functional consultants are able to work with all the information that they entered into their computer system and turn around the way a business is heading by implementing new rules and procedures.
