Dear Deepika,
Seems like you are in cross roads. But nothing to worry. It happens.
I would really like to appreciate you for being confident to take up a move to jump start your career into SAP. Few points i will enlist for you which may sound helpful to you i hope.
Looking into your experience i have a feeling you don't like the programming stuff anymore and you want to get rid of it yet making a sound career. Yes SAP has those elements to give you a desired path.
If you know SAP has both technical and functional modules or even combination of both called
Techno-Functional modules. Depending on the interest and confidence its needful to take up a good decision.
(FYI: But keep in mind, SAP is built on ABAP codes. Which means ABAP knowledge even basic level is going to help you always)
Following are the points:
1. You belong to technical background aren't you? If yes i believe your interest would rather be in technical side rather than functional side (Finance or Sales etc)
Also you have to be noted that since you will change domain you will be treated as a fresher once again, where you will have to start from the scratch. The path is difficult but not impossible and you have to be ready to face and overcome all these challenges. If it is so Following are the modules which can pave you a good career ahead.
a.) Business Objects - which is a reporting tool tightly integrated with rich module like BI. In this you dont need programming but you have to be thorough with Database concepts , writing SQL queries as the must haves pre requisites to start with BO. It is in great demand and you can have a great career with it.
b.) Business Intelligence (BI): Which is a robust techno functional module. The pre requisites can be basic knowledge of OOP ABAP programming and data warehousing concepts. But trust me
Pre requisites are all pen and paper work, if you have determination you can learn almost anything you want.
c) SAP BASIS: Is more like close to being a networking savvy. it deals with maintenance of server, configuring the servers and many more. It also does need programming knowledge but ABAP will definitely going to help you in many scenarios.
d) SAP Mobility : It is one of the more interesting areas you can browse and check out.
e.) There is another rich module called SAP HANA, but i think it should not be suggested as HANA is considered to be an advanced level, you may need knowledge of BI and ABAP both as well
Following are the more crucial points:
1. While you change your domain, and start to make a career in SAP don't leave your job and invest everything. because you never know when things will click for you. Refer to the following blogs by the great mentors here in SCN forums.:
2. SAP Certification is not a guarantee that you will get a job or good placement, it may happen or may not, but it will definitely help you a bit to stand out in the crowd but practical hands on experience is what all companies look for which equally makes life tough for the new fresh SAP Aspirants, for that you can take help of local SAP centers or ghost installation or say getting paid server access for practice.
