WTF?!? i got a dead-end SAP skill???

oh god, this is not happening! ABAP is on its way out??? even EDI??? this is one my favorite objects pa man din...must shift, must SHIFT, i'm thinking XI?? what do you think??

SAP skills of the past

Bread-and-butter ABAP is on the way out. Bread-and-butter batch data conversion/report generation ABAP is on the way out. Object-oriented ABAP, mixed with Java-flavored tools, is the SAP development skill set of the future.

"Goodbye to Basis." Basis is giving way to NetWeaver. The skills transition from Basis to NetWeaver is not as difficult as on the development side.

EDI is out, XML is in. There's still some EDI (electronic data interface) work to be done for companies entrenched in the infrastructure, but for everyone else it's about SOA/XML/Internet-based B2B transactions. EDI skills are no longer a coveted part of the technical skill set for most consultants.

hay. it all depends on your client naman eh. kung big time client mo, i doubt na may iibahin yan eh super mahal and super tagal mag change ng systems. isipin mo naman TI, gumagamit pa ng BDC kasi un na ung kinasanayan eh. porquet may bago at in or out na doesn't mean mawawala ung tech's natin. i think it applies lang to being a consultant, kasi kung saan saan ka madedeploy diba?
