SAP users identify data skills shortage as importance of analytics spikes
Summary
The SAP user group that spans the two countries has published some research linked to its annual Analytics Symposium, taking place as an online event on 21 April. Chairman of the user group, Paul Cooper said in a release about the research: “Even prior to the pandemic, the data demands on many organisations had risen significantly. Asked why customers would not reach for other suppliers, who specialise in data analytics, rather than SAP, he said: “It comes down to integration. Addressing the skills gap is a shared responsibility between industry, education and government.” In the release, Cooper said: “While the SAP Hana in-memory database has certainly gained traction in recent years, the research shows that some organisations are simply waiting until they move to SAP S/4 Hana before taking advantage of the technology. “It’s mainly been the technical members as opposed to our applications – ‘what’s the business case?’ – type users who have been interested in it [Hana].
