EXPERT RESPONSE
I agree that functional work gives you more protection against outsourcing, all things being equal. I also like the prospect of CRM experience, because SAP CRM is one of the hotter areas within SAP consulting right now. And since you already have technical CRM experience from the ABAP side, you already have some valuable know-how to bring to the table. Plus, your manager is supporting your move and offering you CRM training. That all sounds very appealing to me.
The big question is: why did you write me a question? :) Things are rolling your way, just go with it! Remember, also, that if you move to functional CRM work, you won't be abandoning your ABAP skills either. You'll be able to continue to call on your ABAP skills as a functional person, and it will really help you as you work with the development teams to customize CRM components for your future clients and users. Good luck!
