SAP technology in India

SAP is considered as the largest ERP package software product in the world.

in Japan SAP product are used for lots of the big company mostly which are in public.
SAP is expensive compare with other competitor's products. so that the demand for SAP are recently decreasing and instead of SAP, cheaper and smaller SAP package becomes popular.

my generation in the software field in Japan might think that SAP is gonna be dead technology just like mainframe field.
(in here "dead" means that it's just the less demand.)

lot's of software guys want to be in Java or .NET field in Japan.
(of course this trend also create another problem which is over competition..)

BUT in India, SAP is still poplar technology, there are still lots of training class for getting the certification and job ad for SAP engineer.
It is new for japanese..
at the same time, in India SAP is still poplar and in Japan SAP is gonna be lesser need.

one day i asked to my colleague working in SAP project about this matter.
he said that for becoming SAP engineer, we have to invest lots of money (yeah because of SAP software itself it's expensive.), so that once become them, they can definitely go and work in Good company or get the onsite opportunity.

I think his answer gets the point.
