SAP Job Market
SAP job market is currently in a state of flux just like any other IT job. Where there used to be 10 jobs there are 4 or may be 5. Post recession, the reasons are obvious – Lack of budgets, postponing new implementations, general market slump etc.
However, all is not lost yet. There are still jobs. And more are going to come up as the economy slowly takes roots again and boomtown comes along.
Where are the jobs
It is wiser to go to greener lands than search for jobs in a desert. Knowing the market well can make all the difference. So, where are the jobs now? In no particular order, the following modules of SAP are still in demand based on our training and the jobs our students get. We are also basing the list based on industry news.
- SAP Security and Basis
- SAP FICO
- SAP CRM Techno functional
- SAP IS Retail (Yes Retail is booming again believe it or not. First to suffer is probably the first to raise
) - SAP Adobe Interactive Forms
- SAP GRC
- Vistex, Vendavo and other bolt-ons
This list is not complete but is just to remind you to go in the direction where the jobs are.
But I don’t know these!!
That’s always a problem. Upgrade your skills. There is fewer alternatives if you don’t. Try to look for modules that are closer to your domain. For example, an SD consultant can go for upgrading to SAP CRM Training. To an SD consultant with a good knowledge of Pricing, Customer master, order management and OTC cycle , CRM feels like an extension. Similarly, an MM consultant with good knowledge of the P2P cycle, upgrading to eProcurement or SAP SRM Training would make much more sense. Invest in SAP training. It will pay you back.
Also, follow the wikis , articles and discussions in SDN and other forums. It is not necessarily the case that might gain any knowledge on the actual module itself, but you will understand trends that need to be latched on to.
