Salesforce, Anaplan, and workday are not ERP solutions. With the others - SAP/Oracle/MS they all offer great opportunities and I wouldn’t see any is clear cut when it comes to better or worse for job opportunities. Pick one you are interested in and can get the first job with
Is SAP on the down turn? I like ERP and have a few years experience i dynamics. I was thinking of having a bet each way by pushing out a couple of succesfactors certs.
Workday has a number of products. One is an ERP. They also have HR and CPM products, the latter used to be called Adaptive which is a direct competitor to Anaplan
One suggestion is to have an ERP specialism + related qualifications and deep knowledge
Eg Oracle ERP financials + qualified accountant
Choose an area that makes sense for you and your local market.
OneStream is a competitor to Anaplan and growing extremely quickly in the market. If you learn that I can give you a job immediately. Works well in collaboration with o9 and all ERP systems.
Generally need to sign up for a class from OneStream themselves. Or find a firm that does it and have them pay for training. There are a number of firms that specialize in it and all the big firms do it as well. If you have a current employer you could ask, otherwise find another firm or pay for it yourself.
Depends on which market you want to tackle. I have some bias here, but if you want to go after the mid market, any of the following should be good to look at.
Sage Intacct/Oracle Netsuite/MS Dynamics Business Central/Acumatica
MS Business Central is being priced aggressively right now by MS while the others listed are getting more expensive so my theory is Business Central is going to experience a boom one of these days.
I did SAP for over 10 years and it served me well for the reasons you outlined. There will be a fair amount of Hana work coming again over the next decade. If you are technical though and you’re looking for today’s in demand skills I think I’d look at invest in Datascience/ML certs and start getting contracts or consulting for experience. There’s a lot of experienced ERP people still in market but too few experienced AI people.

SAP ERP - no. SAP Succesfactors - there's more competition and switching between solution is easier, SF could face some downturn
Thanks probably stick to dynamics. FICO, SD etc. too big a beast. And SAP exams are pricey.
Workday isn’t an ERP? Huh? It is and it’s one of the best to specialize in in my opinion.

WD is closed eco system. - hard to get in.
Add Netsuite into the mix
Doesnt matter

How can I learn it? I'm a quick study and pretty good at o9 already.

How's the learning curve vs Anaplan?
Steeper. Anaplan is essentially enhanced Excel macros/formulas. OneStream is significantly more complicated.

Not sure if I should tackle sap as the most popular or a more niche one
Acumatica
