Hello,
I am a HRIS (Human Resources Information Systems) Manager for a mid-sized bank. I have been working here for 8 years and have turned the department around with technology and outsourcing solutions. Working here has tought me a lot about managing technology however we use simpler solutions and outsourcing options. Because of this I have not been exposed to ERPs like Peoplsoft, SAP, or JD Edwards. This is limiting my options for a career in consulting.
I am getting my MBA in Technology Management in February and I'm not sure what direction to take with my career. I would eventually love to become a consultant. I am best with problem-solving and leveraging technology however all of these consulting firms want ERP experience.
My choices are:
1) Becoming a business systems analyst with my current company. This will give me more consulting experience but no exposre to ERP.
2) Explore other larger and global organizations for a HRIS position and gain experience in ERP's before moving to consulting.
Any advice?
