As yoxnja said, all ERP programe are huge package. We can analyze ERO programe from different standpoints. One is technology standpoint. Actually, if you r a technologist, you just install software, and adjust systme. I installed SAP R/2 security programe and PeopleSoft before. But I don't have enough experience to reach all parts of this SAP or PeopleSoft.
But, from business standpoint, you would find the ERP package would change your business structure or your business model. This is why SAP has totally different ERP package for different industries, such as oil, manfacutre, e-business.
In Northe American, PeopleSoft is very propular in HR and finance also.
Therefore, students from MBA and computer science all can work in ERP area. If you don't have enough business background, you can use your technological background to entry this industry firstly and then make decision which area you are really interested. The salaries is very high. In China, if you work in one of Big 5 consulant company as ERP(SAP or Oracle) consulant, the salary should be over 20-30k/m.
You can read some Supply Chain, ERP books. Do you check files in smiling?
Best wish. I hope others can give us more information. Where can find useful books? Thanks in advance
