What SAP Pros Want Almost as Much as Money
By Valeri Wickersham, VP HR, Optimal Solutions Integration
There are signs that the tech sector will fare better in 2011 than it has over the past few years. IDC forecasts 5.7% growth in IT spending in 2011 (compared to 3% growth in 2010). Gartner forecasts global IT spending in 2011 to reach $3.6 trillion, up 5.1% from 2010. Dice reports 40% more job postings in December 2010 than there were in December 2009. And more than 50% of participants in a recent Dice survey claim they will hire more tech employees in the first half of 2011 than they did in all of 2010.
Here at Optimal, we hired more than 600 SAP pros in 2010, and we anticipate increased hiring in 2011. We recently conducted a poll to help keep our finger on the pulse of what topnotch SAP pros want most from their next project or gig.
More money ranked highest (surprise, surprise) with 45% of the votes. But you may be surprised by what ranks 2nd and 3rd. Vote in our quick poll to find out!
