Predictions For SAP In 2010
Bernard Escherich, an SAP strategic solution architect for
healthcare, defence and public security and higher education,
outlined his predictions for opportunities for SAP experts in 2010,
in his Community Network blog. He predicted increasing demand for
SAP HR experts in the public sector, as well as an increasing
number of new SAP projects in the areas of defence forces and
public security (DRPS.) He drew the conclusion that since DFPS
integrates all ERP areas, former experience in SAP projects will
provide strong foundations for any logistic experts or consultants
looking to move into this area.
Not all his readers agreed with him, one commenting that: “I think
the most overlooked ‘hot’ SAP skill in 2010 (or later) will be the
system performance analyst. As the systems are getting bigger and
bigger, I think performance problems will be increasing
drastically. Also system sizing will be in demand.” The poster
concluded that “the problem in this sector is that you can only
focus on one platform…..because you need deep knowledge in every
part to find and fix some issues if the problems are
contiguous.”
Meanwhile, Dice listed SAP as one of its ‘Hot Skills For
2010.’ Again, this drew mixed reactions, with one poster dismissed
SAP assignments as typically “short.”
