SAP Functional Consultant Vs SAP Technical Consultant

The world of SAP implementation basically has consultants who are either functional consultants or technical consultants. Many readers have requested a post on the difference between a technical SAP consultant Vs a functional SAP consultant. In the overall SAP implementation project, both the functional as well as the technical consultants have different roles to play. Let me explain the roles of both the functional and technical SAP consultants.

SAP Functional Consultants - Functional consultants are responsible for designing the SAP implementation solution based on the unique requirements of your company. In other words the functional consultants are business process experts and are non-technical. Functional consultants normally use their process knowledge to calculate the impact of the SAP implementation on the company's processes. Functional consultants are thus concerned with SAP functions and processes that will generate the data and output for business.

SAP Technical Consultants - Technical consultants are experts in information technology. Technical consultants normally assist in configuration of the SAP R3 installation. In many SAP implementations, technical consultants help in designing interfaces and customizations in R3. Finally, the SAP R3 technical consultants would be responsible for migration of data from the legacy system to the new SAP ERP implementation.
