Almost every SAP move to the cloud now goes one of two ways, RISE with SAP or GROW with SAP. The one a company picks shapes the whole programme, including the skills it needs on the team. For anyone hiring or contracting in the SAP world, it helps to know the difference. Here is what each route is, how the choice affects the skills in demand, and what it means whether you are hiring or planning your own next move. What RISE and GROW are Both are routes to SAP’s current gene

SAP has just made a move that points to where hiring is heading. In October 2026 it agreed to buy TechWolf, a company whose technology works out people’s real skills from the work they actually do, and it is building this into SAP SuccessFactors. The direction is clear: hiring is shifting from job titles and CVs towards proven skills. Here is what that shift means, and what it means whether you are hiring or building your own career. From job titles to real skills For a l

SAP’s data world is changing fast, and it is pulling data skills demand with it. With SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP has brought Databricks natively into its data platform, so companies can combine their SAP and non-SAP data for analytics and AI without copying it around. That is creating fresh demand for people who can work across both worlds. Here is what has changed, the skills in demand, and what it means whether you are hiring or building your own career.

Not all SAP roles are equally hard to fill. Some come together in a few weeks, while others can take months to find the right person. As the race to S/4HANA continues across Germany, a handful of SAP skills have become genuinely scarce, and knowing which ones helps you plan your hiring around them. Here is where the biggest gaps sit in 2026, why they are so hard to close, and what to do about it. Why some SAP roles are so hard to fill The shortage is structural, not a passing

ABAP has been the backbone of SAP development for decades, so it is a fair question whether it still matters in 2026. The short answer is yes, but the ABAP that clients want has changed. Here is where ABAP stands now, the technical SAP skills in demand alongside it, and what it means whether you are hiring or building your own career. Is ABAP still worth it?

One of the first questions on any SAP contract is where the work actually happens. In Germany, the honest answer for most roles today is a mix. Fully remote and fully onsite both exist, but the majority sit somewhere in between. Here is how the balance looks in 2026, when onsite time still matters, and what it means whether you are contracting or hiring. Where the market sits now Hybrid has settled as the normal way of working in Germany. Fully remote work has fallen back sin

AI coding agents have moved from novelty to normal at remarkable speed. In a 2026 survey of more than 15,000 developers, 90% said they use AI coding agents at work at least weekly, and most use them daily. That changes what a strong developer looks like, and what clients are hiring for. Here is how the role is shifting, especially for senior developers and architects, and what it means whether you are hiring or building your own career. How fast this has happened The speed

Cloud has quietly become one of the busiest areas of IT hiring across Germany and the DACH region. As companies move more of their systems to the cloud and work to run them well, the demand for people who can build, secure and manage cloud platforms keeps rising, and supply is not keeping up. Here is where the demand sits in 2026, the skills clients are asking for, and what it means whether you are hiring or building your own career. Why cloud demand is climbing across DACH T

AI has already arrived in SAP, and it is advancing quickly. This is not a bolt-on feature. SAP has embedded it into the core of its products, through an assistant called Joule that has matured over the past couple of years, and a newer move into agentic AI, where software agents carry out tasks independently. The agentic side is still developing, and the surrounding hype can obscure the substance, so this is a clear look at what is genuinely happening and what it means for th

One SAP skill area has grown faster than almost any other, though it rarely draws attention. As companies across Germany and DACH move to S/4HANA, the demand for people who can handle data, migrating it, cleaning it and governing it, has jumped. Here is why data has become one of the most sought-after SAP skills, and what it means whether you are hiring or building your own career. Why S/4HANA is really a data project Moving to S/4HANA is often described as a system upgrade,

The SAP contract market in Germany and the wider DACH region is moving fast, and one thing is driving it: the countdown to S/4HANA. With SAP winding down support for its older systems, companies across the region are racing to migrate, and that is pulling demand across finance, logistics, data and the technical platform all at once, with a new wave of AI and Clean Core work close behind. Here is where the demand sits in 2026, and the trends shaping what comes next. The S/4HAN
