The demand for SAP though has decreased because of the global recession, it still is one of the lucrative career options. SAP in the recent past had launched its new product - SAP HANA, which triggred exciting activities in the DB analytics and reporting. SAP is now investing heavily on Enterprise Applications on Mobile too, so this can only mean a demand for new SAP skills that can be expected to increase within the next 2-4 years.
Demand for SAP Consultants will outweigh supply:
- Increasing ‘competition’ for IT talent from across technologies
- A shortage of effective IT skills
- Skills movement between geographic locations
- Large SIs can’t provide clients with sufficient experts
- Analyst predict SAP skills shortage will continue through 2012/13
- shortage of the new SAP skilled workers is forcing IT departments to pay more
- a validated gap of 30,000 in 2010 has only increased in the past two years
