I have written a lot on outsourcing in this column, and it's a good question. There is not one response to the threat of outsourcing. Of course, switching to a functional focus is one possibility. The other main ways to make your skills more outsourcing-proof would allow you to stay more on the technical side. You can do this by beefing up your technical project management experience.
Or, you can remain hands-on, but expand your programming skill set to include more "cutting edge" areas of SAP development such as ABAP/BW, custom portals development, and mobile development. It's important to face the reality of outsourcing, but there are a range of responses you can take.
