What will be the scope for the security segment in light of the new business unit SAP GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance)? Will SAP GRC create a job market for us in the long term?

Security at the applications and process level are very much part of the GRC mandate -- particularly as they relate to compliance and governance. This is a red-hot area for everyone -- not just SAP and its customers -- and represents in my opinion the beginning of a lot of job opportunities for consultants and developers.

The reason is simple. Today much of what comes under a general GRC heading is either unautomated or poorly automated, and with both the exposure risk of non-compliance and the upside potential of doing a better job at GRC tasks, I predict customers will be spending heavily and willingly for solutions in this area for a long time to come.
