As SAP implementation methodology has moved from being module-driven to process-driven, need arose such that a consultant is expected to possess knowledge of the end-to-end processes rather than focus on a single aspect of the business. In a process-driven market, knowledge of a single module is not going to be sufficient, however proficient the module-based skills are.
Companies these days are favoring candidates who possess the knowledge of business processes rather than one aspect of the business. For instance, Procure to Pay process requires knowledge of SAP MM, SAP SRM, SAP FICO, and SAP AP domains. It is more feasible if one person can cover all the relevant modules involved in the business process.
SAP implementation has moved to an agile methodology. Hence companies are preferring consultants who possess business process knowledge in addition to module expertise for their implementations.
