We all know that knowledge sharing is one of the keys to success in any industry, but it's especially true for the SAP consulting industry. If you're trying to make a name for yourself as an SAP consultant, then learning from other consultants is going to be essential. This episode is all about finding good sources of knowledge sharing and how you can put that knowledge into practice.
The guest for today’s episode is John Jordan. John is the founder and principal consultant at ERP Corp, which provides SAP consulting and training services, particularly in Financials and Controlling. He is the author of the successful Production Variance Analysis for SAP Controlling and has written several articles for the SCM Expert and Financials Expert newsletters.
