This could be tricky to ask; I may or may not ask this question here but I thought to give it a try.

I've been in Software Industry since 2002 and now it has been a time that I'm at Senior level where I normally code, lead and define the architect; giving technical solutions to the management is one of my asset that I've earned during my services.

Now it is the time to define the road map for the future, $$$. I am not in favor of Project Management roles.

I've been thinking of going through the ERP and my current company does provide me an option to go for Navision/ Microsoft Dynamics. They are currently on 4.0 but they are planning to move for 2009 and also to build one of their own plug-in.

Indeed the option is good because Microsoft is trying to accomplish the market for Dynamics products. However, they have less success in Australia.

Now, Another option is with SAP where person can go with 200 K $ a year. Where as I'd doubt that if the same kind of growth, financial, is available for Microsoft geek.

What is your opinion on Navision or SAP?

If I try to completely move to SAP it could be bit challenging as market will consider me a fresher. However the return is quite good.

Where in case of Microsoft, I think technology changes so fast that there is a less chance to grow in, within, the same experience; in other word, if any new framework comes in .net then market look for that person who knows this new framework and not .net But in case of SAP, where the base remain same and chances are to grab more money from the market.

What would you do if you were me?

In stackoverflow - Navision questions are 20+ where in SAP 200+///?? :-)
