Singapore SAP BW 305 & 310 training

My co-worker and I just returned from a 10-day SAP BW310 and BW305 training in Singapore. The training center is located in clifford center (marked as A in the map below) in raffles place and was right beside the Chevron building. I noticed a lot of Filipinos in that place as well.


SAP BW310 Feedback
I recommend the SAP BW310. In the training, we learned about infocubes and infoareas. Our trainer was a Malaysian named Teoh. There were very minimal to no programming involved as it was more of point and click type configuration. I think the challenge is more on remembering the different functionalities of SAP BW. We worked on SAP BW ver 7.0, which is also called SAP BI (the newer version of SAP).

SAP BW305 Feedback
We will not necessarily use SAP's query analyser because what we use at the office is Microstrategy. I think that Microstrategy is more flexible and powerful as compared to the front end tools of SAP.
