A greater number of professionals must be trained to specialise in SAP's enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, if the UK market is to continue to thrive in the years to come.

Computerworld has quoted Siavash Moshiri, consultant and SAP corporate master's program leader at Sheffield Hallam University as suggesting those currently in this field are often among the older members of the British workforce.

It is therefore imperative that younger people are encouraged to take up a career in SAP solutions.

"The pace of innovation has gathered momentum this year. This means there are skills needs that need to be managed and developed," added Mr Moshiri.

He noted that developing expertise in SAP ERP software is a "life-long" skill that will boost anybody's employability – and potentially improve the fortunes of companies in the country.

SAP recently revealed that it is planning to expand over the years to come, with China set to be one key location, as it is due to receive $2 billion (£1.25 billion) in investment.
