In this industry, it’s important that you know your skills to remain relevant in the next five to 10 years. So, make sure you study some of the top 10 hottest skill sets:
1. Cybersecurity. If you watch the news, you know that Equifax had a major data breach just this week. Cybersecurity is very hot right now. Companies are hiring everyone from chief security officers to middle management to lower technical positions.
2. Access identity, segregation of duties, and SAP security (systems, applications, and products) are really relevant as well.
3. Cloud software. Within the SAP and ERP (enterprise resource planning) market, there is a huge push going toward cloud software.
4. Service hosted solutions within SAP. A lot of companies are starting to move to HANA or S/4HANA, so those are extremely relevant.
5. Many companies are hiring in infrastructure and management-levels; they are looking for people with hosted services experience utilizing programs such as AWS (Amazon web services).

7. Extended warehouse management, global trade, and transportation management are all in high demand. Companies have a hard time hiring those people. Analytics is another hot area.
8. The internet of things, or IoT. The IoT is about connectivity: connecting cars, watches, and more to the internet. Connecting things we wear or drive to the IoT will be in high demand, especially in the next five to 10 years.
9. Big data is a super hot skill and there is a continued need for this skill set. Anyone with experience in these areas will be extremely employable and paid good compensation.
10. Soft skills and visionary leadership. As older generations retire from the marketplace, there won’t be as many people in coming generations to replace the baby boomers. As a result, there is a shortage and strong demand for mid- to upper-management people with great soft skills and visionary leadership.
