ERP Consultant here - of course experience is key - so to get your foot in the door, couple ways I would approach it. Your pitch ultimately needs to be, I'm THE guy for this single app, very focused and specific skill. I would get hired at a company as a general dev or whatever and then try to transition to to a sys admin role (like "JDE Administrator"). Alot of guys work with me (me too) got in this way. Get a year or two experience and then go be a contractor - just search for JDE contractor jobs. Or, get hired on full-time at one of the many small consulting firms that specialize in the app you're targeting. You can come in with less experience if you can accept less salary, like at a full-time salary at a consulting co. if you can come in at 80-90k salary, that's low. I know guys got on with just minimal experience. Trust me on this, if you're smart, you'll pick up the skills.
