QUESTION POSED ON: 22 February 2006
What are the new upcoming technologies in SAP? I am working as an ABAP consultant -- do I need to learn NetWeaver for the future? Anything else?

EXPERT RESPONSE
Yes, NetWeaver is the way to go. So is Java. And while you're at it, get your feet wet in the open source world. SAP has a major commitment to open source, and skills in open source technology such as LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) will be extremely useful in the SAP world of the future.
