PS or BI: which one to choose?

[Former Member]

I have about 15 years of experience in the IT industry. Started as a developer working with VB, ASP and later .NET; then took the project management path since 2006. Mostly worked with consulting and service companies, but switched to a product company in a management role from 2008 till 2012. In this company for about a year I was given the task of overhauling a largely unused non transactional data store, and also look after the analytics reports. I was partly hands hands on in this area, having one business analyst to assist me and some timeshare from a DBA. Due to an internal restructuring, my position became redundant. In the last two years I dabbled with entrepreneurship and later completed a long pending creative project. I now want to get back into the IT industry and it looks like some reskilling may be necessary. I will be thankful if someone can suggest which will be the more appropriate SAP module for me PS or BI, given my background mentioned here. With regards to SAP, I had used an MM implementation as an end user in 2003-2004, and the PS as end user in 2005-2006.

just answering directly - Business Intelligence is more perspective than Project System

Thanks for your reply. Is it with respect to my profile or the demand for those modules in the market?

it might depends on location...(a local job market)

you said you left sap in 2006, it is too long ago to re-join PS now (just my opinion).

if you have a serious target and enough funds you may look at BI or other modern things like HANA

good luck
