A few years ago, SAP felt like a slow-moving giant. Big, reliable, and steady. But now? Things are shifting faster than ever. If you work in SAP you probably feel it too. Every day I speak with SAP professionals, hiring managers, companies and I hear the same thing: “There’s so much happening! Where is this all going?"
So, let’s talk about it. Here are three major SAP shifts in 2025 that will shape careers and businesses for years to come:
S/4HANA: The Clock is Ticking
For years, companies have pushed back their move to S/4HANA. Some were hesitant, others overwhelmed...and some hoped SAP would simply extend ECC support again.
Well here we are 2027 is coming fast and companies can’t afford to wait anymore. The demand for S/4HANA experts is exploding and those with experience in Finance, Logistics, and Supply Chain are snapped up quickly.
- - If you're an SAP consultant, this is your moment.
- - If you're still working with ECC, it might be time to upskill before the market becomes saturated.
- - If you’re a company still on ECC, do you really want to be in a last-minute panic in 2026?
Have you made the switch yet? If not, what’s holding you back?
AI, Automation & SAP BTP: The Future is Smart
I know, I know AI is everywhere right now. But this time, it’s actually making a difference in SAP.
The SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is helping companies make faster, smarter decisions by integrating AI, automation, and real-time analytics. And then there’s SAP Joule, SAP’s AI assistant that’s changing how users interact with ERP systems.
- - If you're in SAP, ask yourself: are you ready for AI-driven ERP?
- - If you’re a consultant, learning SAP BTP could be a game changer for your career.
Are you already working with SAP AI tools? If so, how’s the experience been?
The SAP Talent Shortage is REAL
I hear this every single day from companies: “We need SAP experts, but we can’t find them!”
Here’s the reality there are more SAP jobs than people to fill them. Especially in areas like S/4HANA, AI, Cloud, and Security.
- - If you have SAP experience, you’re in control.
- - If you’re thinking about switching jobs, this is the best time to explore.
- - If you’re hiring, you need to move fast when you find the right person because they won’t be available for long.
