Hi

I have just started Masters of Business ERP SAP at victoria University. But my background is

accounting and have intermediate knowledge of software industry . From my understanding

there is always something new replacing existing market in software industry. I just want to

know about the sustainability of SAP career . will it sustain in the market for long time?

Hello, I can assure you that you will not suffer from hunger or anything like that... there are thousands of companies running SAP accross the globe. And if, and that will not happen, somebody would threaten SAP, understand how much money depends on SAP systems. It would take years to get rid of the vendor (SAP) lock-in for all those companies.

Ok, that was the practical approach. On the other hand I do believe in quality and sustainability of what we do here and feel no fear about my future. Even if some kind of a problem appear, SAP would teach you so much about business processes and how companies are runned, that you could immediately switch to some kind of management/ analyst job. t least that is how I feel about it.

Hope that helps a little, I wanted to offer something in return for your answer to my question earlier,

maybe you would like to talk some more one day?
