ERP packages are designed based on domain's, it will exist in the market based on its design, integration and flexibility. While talking about SAP it has not restricted for particular domain.. like oracle for only financial. This is the only reason why the industry pioneers are turning towards SAP and invested billions of dollars for their business.\n\nComing to your question... most of the industries has already turned and invested in SAP, think how many billions they have to loose if they turn towards newer technology :)

Go with Oracle.  SAP is way too much money and they'll charge you in two years when the new release comes out.

Minimum 10 years - probably closer to 15-20.\n\nThe technology is not nearly mature enough to support affordable mass production, and there is no real consumer demand - as long as PC's continue to become more powerful and less expensive with current technology.\n\nI could see optical computing reaching the high-end server market sooner - maybe in the 10-15 yr range.

FI-CO stands for Finance and Controlling.\n\nNever mislead yourself that SAP is a programming language, it is an ERP package. As you might aware that SAP consists of different modules like SD, MM, PP, FI etc it’s up to you to decide which module you are interested in. As a programmer you have to work on various module, but as a functional consultant [involves less in code and more in design, develop, configure and install SAP applications] you can choose particular module.\n\nSAP deals with domain knowledge… so first get the basic information about that and choose your area of interest, initially it may take minimum 2 months to learn the course, to become an expert it may take years. There are many companies around the world implements SAP, salaries are based on experience, hard work and effort.

It seems that if you take care of them they should retain their data for a good long while (wikipedia says 100 years); however, the way most people handle and store them they will only last for a couple of years.\n\nCheck out the wikipedia article on CD-Rs and their lifespans:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-R#Optimal_storage_conditions_and_expected_lifespan\n\nThis guy also has some interesting information on the subject:\nhttp://www.practicalpc.co.uk/computing/storage/cdrlifespan.htm

You may be having bright career if you persue SAP PS, well project systems are part of FI earlier, because of growing complexity in that they made it seperate from FI. Since you do have good profile and basic knowledge, i suggest you to take the course as a functional consultant. About the domain knowledge... well in real time it may take min of 4yrs to get good knowledge in that domain... as a learner just know the basic and the document flow.
