What is an SAP BASIS?

Throughout my 20-year career, I have been dedicated to the exciting field of consulting, assisting, advising, and administering SAP systems, with a particular focus on SAP Basis. However, despite my extensive experience, I have found that many people still ask me about SAP and my role as a Basis consultant. In order to address this, I have written a brief but informative article about my work and how I view the importance of SAP Basis in projects and companies.

The SAP Basis discipline is an essential part of any SAP implementation. It is responsible for the technical administration of SAP systems, including installation, configuration, monitoring, and maintenance. As an SAP Basis professional, my primary focus is to ensure that SAP systems are running smoothly, efficiently, and securely.

To achieve this, I work closely with other teams, such as functional consultants, developers, and project managers, to understand the business requirements and translate them into technical solutions. I also keep up-to-date with the latest SAP technologies and best practices to ensure that our SAP systems are up-to-date and optimized.

In addition to technical skills, an SAP Basis professional needs to have strong communication and collaboration skills. This is because they often act as the bridge between technical and business teams, helping to translate technical requirements into business language and vice versa.

Overall, the SAP Basis discipline is critical to the success of any SAP implementation. As an SAP Basis professional, I am proud to be part of this essential team and am committed to ensuring that our SAP systems are running efficiently and securely to support our business needs.
