Basis and CRM FAQs, H1B visa update and ABAP career tips
[by Matt Danielsson]
mdanielsson@techtarget.com
Even senior Basis administrators run into problems sometimes. That's
why our latest FAQ focuses on Basis, addressing issues like how to
split Basis responsibilities, managing user access efficiently, and
how to stay on top of support packages.

We also have a new CRM FAQ. Wondering about current CRM job trends?
Need to display third-party data within a CRM fact sheet? Looking for
best practices on how to combat CRM system errors? Get expert advice
on this and other topics in our growing collection of FAQs.

On the development side, we asked veteran ABAP expert Matthew
Billingham what a beginner should do to get a good start in the SAP
world. Read his column, The keys to ABAP success, for advice on how
to break into the field, whether certification is worth the money,
and what the two most important traits of successful ABAP
professionals are.

Of course, there are other, higher-level factors that impact the SAP
job market too. The availability of H1B visas for foreign IT workers
is one of them. While the ruckus of this spring may have seemed to
blow over, there's now new forces in motion to increase the number of
visas... And to protect American IT workers. Read the editorial blog
for the latest updates on this high-stakes chess game.

As always, we have a new tip and a new book chapter ready for your
reading pleasure:

character within the report. Learn how to fix the issue here.
