Future of SAP Modules

Hi Guys,
This is very different from the regular discussion topics i suppose. To get a brighter picture, i would like to know from experts as to how the future holds for all SAP modules. How will be the growth for the following modules.
1. BW (BPS from BW 3.5)
2. SEM
3. CRM
4. APO
5. Enterprise Portals
Could everyone give their feedback.
Regards.

Hi,
> a) Is it a must for us to upgrade to the core EHP5 without activating the functional switch ?
It's not mandatory to upgrade to EHP5.
> b) can we opt to stay in the current version of ECC 6.0 with the latest support package level ?
Yes, you can stay at ECC 6.0.
> c) what are the advantage of moving on to the core EHP5 without activation of new functionalities ?
On technical side there are not much advantages but if you comparing from functional side then EHP5 has a lot new functionality. You can compare ECC 6.0 with EHP5 on the below link with respect to different areas:
http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/
> c) What are the implication in terms of future expansion of SAP modules (e.g. BPM etc) onto ECC6.0 ?
> d) is the EOS for ECC 6.0 still remains as 2015 (even with the latest support package level applied ?)
>
Yes, EOS is still same. Same you can check at PAM at SMP.
Thanks

Future of SAP CRM

Hello Friends,
I need a very sincere advice with the help of this forum and would really appreciate the SAP folks to open-up and provide your best futuristic and honest suggestion
My Background
I have a total of 7.5 years of experience that includes 6 years of SAP presales support activity. Now when I say presales as you all know it stars from LEAD QUALIFICATION and ends to LEAD CONVERSION and the capacity of work that is involved between these two word is enormous. So far my professional career got totally engrossed into RFPs, RFIs, RFQs proposal preparation, SOW preparation, estimation, client presentation, case study, defining GTM strategy, coordination between different teams (Infra, COE, Sales, Legal.....). Though this role has given me lots of knowledge on the domain (manufacturing, retail, utility, consumer goods...) as well as SAP (ECC, SRM, SCM, CRM, BI/BW.....) but what I think if I can combine my current experience (I call it as domain) with real time project experience in some module of SAP; then it will add more value and wattage to my CV as well as my future career path.
My Thoughts
I am sure there are many professionals like me who have chosen this kind of path for his/her career, but the biggest question comes WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO!!!!!!! --a sales professional, or Bid manager or an account manager there on to practice heads and so on. The answers is yes these could be an option but to be a good solution architect or AM/BM in SAP space i think it is important to be well versed with one of the modules in combination with domain.
Future of SAP
We all know the future of SAP is heading from CAPEX to OPEX market which mean CLOUD is / going to be HOT CAKE for its customer, then comes some of the emerging technology like CLOUD COMPUTING, HANA, Mobility SucessFactors, HADOOP etc. I am sure people will agree that in every human the wisdom teeth comes only after certain age but that doesn't conclude with the downfall of all other 32 teeth and in my opinion so is SAP. With these emerging technologies the backbone of SAP R/3 will continue to exist.
My Questions
The next important aspect comes what combination of modules should a professional like me choose to gain project experience and what is its future/milestone because these days we have been hearing a lot of new technology within SAP space. Please suggest from the below list which I thought could be the probable options
SAP CRM Functional
SAP SD
SAP SD+CRM
SAP SCM (APO, DP, SNP, GATP, PPDS)
SAP IS Retail
Please share your thoughts and suggestion and I am sure it will definitely add value in my decision. I appreciate your thoughts in anticipation

Dear ,
1..Feature of SAP PS/PLM is Good ...dont think about this ...go ahead with your interest ..like if you have finanace background ..then FI is more suitable for you ..n if you are machenical ..Engg ...PP is best for you ........
Perfection and anysing the business is most important thing..so if you want to come in this field ..preapare urself to come more studious withbusiness analytical skills
2. Market is too Good not only for these particular Module but other module also ...
3. if you are strong in PLM...then you can learn PS easily..
4.this is your start stage so dont think about all the module ........choose one .....at a time ...
All The Best ......

Which Sap Module Should I Opt

Hello Everyone,
Please suggest me which SAP module should i opt for. Listed below are my details.
I have almost 3 years of experience in IT & Telcom job sector and am currently working in Data Warehouse & Business Intelligence department of a Telecom Company. I have a plan to do my Masters in Business Administration (MBA).
Please suggest which SAP Mosule should i opt for, should it be the BI or any thing else, also the module which is the future of SAP..
Thanks.

Hi Ayub,
What kind of experience you have in IT?Do you have any programming knowledge?
Are you interested in programming in SAP? Depending on your answers, it would be easy for us to suggest you.
If you are interested in programming, best is to go for SAP Netweaver which is hot and demanding and will be good in future too.It is based on ABAP and Java.
If you are not interested in programming, best is to go for SAP BW or any SAP Function Modules like SD or MM or FI/CO or SRM or SCM or CRM.
Regarding your MBA, what is the specialization you want to take in MBA like Marketing or Finance or HR....etc..... Depending on your interest you can choose the respective module for SAP training.
Any SAP module training in Siemens (who is the authorized training partner of SAP) costs you around 3 laks and after getting the certification, it will be a bit easy to get jobs with the certification.
Local/unofficial institutes normally charge from 5000 rupees to 20,000 rupees depending on the module and the their program structure.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Srinivasa

What is the future of SAP Functional Consultant?

Helo All.
Can anyone guide me regarding the future of SAP Functional consultants in the wake of impending technologies such as eSOA, Netweaver?
How these new technologies will change dynamics of job market for functional consultants especially MM and SD?
What new skills will be required by functional consultants?
Regards.

Hi Anay,
Future of SAP Will Remain Same as of what we have now. Coz Somany Companies Converting To SAP Hugely. And the Core Modules like MM,SD,FI. Will have their Own Significance and will Have the Same Impact what we have now.
SO Dont Worry About New Technologies. New Technologies will Helps to the Companies to get the Best From Technical Prospective also Helps to the Functional.
I Dont Think These New technologies Will Change the Functional Market.
As a Consultant it is better to have knowledge and expert in multiple modules. Nowadays Companies are hireing Multi Specal Functional Consultants.
SO Dont Worry About The Things.

Future of SAP MDM

Hi Experts
I would like to know the future of SAP MDM module ,will it be safe for anyone to continue with the MDM module,or is it going to be phased out by other SAP applications.Can anyone throw light on this?
With Regards
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
If you look at the current market situation.Not just SAP-MDM but also other technolgies are facing the challenge to survive.
The market is going through a lot of instabilty and downtime and not many customer are willing to take risks with their money and work.
The only difference that stands between SAPMDM and others is that MDM is now in its initial stages.It still has to mature as afull fledge solution for customers.
and with the MDM 7.1 release it has taking a good kick start and is still improvising and developing iwth every hotfix and patch.
But reatining the fact the Customers are still very unsure of MDM's results they are not ready to take that easy plunge at this point of time which is making MDM are slow runner.
But if you look closely with what MDM can deliver with the latest MDM 7.1 version and the business problems the companys are facing with their master data especially in a time of mergers and acquistions.SAP MDM will rise as Precise effective and unavoidable solution for customers.
So in my prespective the future of MDM is bright in the long run.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Future of SAP PP

Hi Experts
I would like to know the future of SAP PP module ,will it be safe for anyone to continue with the PP module,or is it going to be phased out by other SAP applications.Can anyone throw light on this?
With Regards
Kumar CH

Hi,
PP is one of the biggest modules.
You have to master the entire planning process which includes SOP, Demand management , MRP, MPS, LTP, Capacity planning etc
The second phase is the execution of the manufacturing/production process which includes:
Discrete with production orders
Repetitive with planned orders( RSQ)
Process industry with process orders.
Of course other than this it is closely linked with QM and MM and of course the most imp ie product costing.
The above mentioned was the core ie R/3 or ECC as we call it now.
If you have advanced knowledge of the core module then you can learn APO.So PP will be always there as other core modules.
As per Certification and placement is concerned it is very difficult nowadays to get placement w/o prior SAP experience .
Certification alone will not take you through even if you do it from Siemens or Genovate.I am telling you this because I have personal experience in this regard.

Which is the best SAP module?

Hi,
my name is vamsi and i have just completed my graduation and i am looking forward do SAP course but, as there are a lot of modules im confused what to select. Can you please suggest me which module is good and has a good demand in the industry which can help me grow up in my career?
Thank you.

Hi Vamsi,
As you are a fresher just out of colleage you can select any module in sap as you like but before doing that please consider the following point:
First: Think in which subject you were most interested and always tried to learn more in your academics. Off course it has to do something with your stream of your education as well like for example: if your subject is Bachelor of Commerce then its natural that you would like to go for SAP Financials & Controlling. However if are a Bsc Graduate then think if you like coding, if the answer is yes, think about SAP ABAP option. If you are a Arts Graduate then think which functional skill you want to adopt, is it Sales, Logistics etc. If you have studied Industrial engineering like stuff you may want to go for Plant Maintenance related module etc. So Stream and subject plays a role for you to decide.
Second: No matter which SAP module you select to pursue its always good to read and know some basics of that module what it does, which way it is applicable in the industry, how is the job position,
etc. this will basically give you an idea about which module you want to learn.
Let me know if you need more information or career guidance.
You can join me in linkedin as well if you need.
Thanks & Regards
