Sap Basis Future forecast

[#1]

Dear all,

Thanks everyone for reading this and giving your time.

I am working as sap basis administrator form last 3 years but i am not sure about basis future.Even sometime i think to change to different domain like Data scientist or IOT. Please help me to decide what should i choose .Should i go with Basis only or i should change to different technology.

If you suggest to switch to another technology then also please let me know which technology or role i should switch too.?

Thanks a lot again.

Hi pnagar,

Its important that we know who we really are. So being a SAP-BASIS person, would always be a SAP-BASIS person. There are a lot of various smaller technology trying to emerge everyday. Every year, you will find some new small small technologies coming up. So, if you then decide to switch, you might end up switching careers & even jobs every year to remain employed to the choice of your new new work-domains every year. So, obviously if some technology becomes a bit popular, then creates a good market value & then the bigger Technology giants try to take-over on bidding. 1 of the reason why new products come-up. Although its a good thing as we have new technology meaning we have advanced & progressed further. Anyways career in SAP-BASIS is having good prospect as every year the no of SAP customer increases only, although its for any modules in SAP. SAP also tries to launch various products every year.

So, generally switching career, this feeling of career-shift you would strongly get when you go in a local Training centre & try to enquire what technology they are teaching/coaching. So, they do sell & pitch that in such a good way that you would really think for a moment to switch to that career. Just telling this from a personal experience after I just started my career in SAP.

But, in fact, instead, if you try exploring something, where your SAP-BASIS career does not get lost, then it would be probably better choice be made. Maybe you need explore deeply the options inside SAP-BASIS. With emerging SAP technology, there is Automation processes going everywhere on all tasks & there are new standard tools coming up for every SAP maintenance tasks or SAP related activities, maybe you would like to concentrate there. Its because who knows the core concept clearly there is always a place for them. So with coming new tools & technologies, its required to have current insight for a employee working in that domain
