In my previous posts I had discussed about how the big boys in the ERP Industry are investing in more resources in India to make sure they make maximum use of the demand of the Asia-Pacific region which is the fastest growing markets for ERP Solutions.
It’s no surprise that companies such as SAP are beginning to invest more in India in the next 2 to 3 months, which would be in the range of USD 4 – 5 Million in new opportunities.
In my previous posts I had mentioned SAP’s Global vision to meet the 15000 SME customer target in the coming years, and this new investment by SAP seems to concentrate on expediting that process since these investments will be targeted at start-up companies in India, via SAP Ventures.
It was stated by a SAP Official that there was a global shortage of 60,000 SAP Consultants, of which 1/3 is in India. The new investments would definitely help in addressing this shortage in the coming years.
For more information on the IT Industry trends read the “2008 IT Skills and Certification Pay Index TM” report published by Foote Partners LLC which is a Vero Beach, Florida based management consultancy and independent market research company that provides pragmatic and forward-thinking advice about managing the IT professional workforce.

In my future posts I shall discuss about the talent crunch faced by ERP Solutions providers and the demographic changes that are having an impact on it, for instance an aging population and declining birth rates in much of the developed world are also beginning to cause a talent crunch in this part of the world.
Have a nice day!!
