SAP ERP systems are widely used in organizations to manage their business processes, from finance and logistics to human resources and manufacturing. With the growing demand for digital transformation and the need to optimize business operations, the demand for SAP ERP consultants is expected to increase in the coming years. Here are the top 6 SAP domains where the increase in demand will be the highest and why:
S/4HANA: The latest version of the SAP ERP system, S/4HANA, is becoming increasingly popular among organizations. This system offers a wide range of benefits such as real-time data processing, reduced TCO, and improved business agility. As a result, there will be a high demand for SAP ERP consultants with knowledge and experience in S/4HANA.
Finance: The finance module of SAP ERP systems is widely used by organizations to manage their financial operations. With the increasing focus on financial compliance and the need for real-time financial reporting, the demand for SAP ERP consultants with knowledge and experience in the finance module is expected to increase.
Logistics: The logistics module of SAP ERP systems is widely used by organizations to manage their supply chain and logistics operations. With the increasing focus on supply chain efficiency and the need for real-time tracking and monitoring, the demand for SAP ERP consultants with knowledge and experience in the logistics module is expected to increase.
Manufacturing: The manufacturing module of SAP ERP systems is widely used by organizations to manage their manufacturing operations. With the increasing focus on Industry 4.0 and the need for real-time monitoring and control, the demand for SAP ERP consultants with knowledge and experience in the manufacturing module is expected to increase.
Cloud: The adoption of cloud computing technologies is increasing rapidly, and this is driving demand for professionals with skills in cloud architecture, cloud security, and cloud management. SAP ERP systems are also moving to cloud and SAP ERP consultants with knowledge and experience in cloud computing will be in high demand.
With respect to SAP S/4HANA, it is important to note that besides the numerous benefits that SAP S/4HANA offers over SAP S4, there is also a deadline for organizations to migrate to SAP S/4HANA. SAP has announced that it will end mainstream maintenance for Business Suite 7, the release that many organizations are still using, on December 31st, 2027. After that date, there will no longer be support for SAP S4, and organizations must be migrated to SAP S/4HANA. This means that organizations have a limited amount of time to plan and execute their migration to SAP S/4HANA.
The demand for SAP consultants is expected to increase in the coming years. Organizations are looking for consultants with knowledge and experience in these areas to help them optimize their business operations and stay competitive in the global marketplace.
