PLM job opportunities, ABAP for newbies and BI/BW guest expert
[by Matt Danielsson]
mdanielsson@techtarget.com
PLM (product lifecycle management) is coming strong in the market,
and SAP just announced a slew of enhancements to beef up its PLM
offerings. A Forrester analyst we spoke to says this is good news for
SAP ERP customers, but not everyone agrees. Is PLM "too creative" for
SAP to handle it properly? Read our blog post: SAP PLM on the rise
and judge for yourself.

The other questions to ask are: How can the PLM surge boost my SAP
career? How can I put together a killer PLM-ECM (Engineering Change
Management) skillset that will land the sweet gigs? Veteran SAP jobs
expert Jon Reed shares his thoughts in his latest guest column: SAP
PLM job prospects.

senior VP of SAP's SMB division, about the unfortunate naming of A1S.
