Hi Manoj,
If you look at the current market situation.Not just SAP-MDM but also other technolgies are facing the challenge to survive.
The market is going through a lot of instabilty and downtime and not many customer are willing to take risks with their money and work.
The only difference that stands between SAPMDM and others is that MDM is now in its initial stages.It still has to mature as afull fledge solution for customers.
and with the MDM 7.1 release it has taking a good kick start and is still improvising and developing iwth every hotfix and patch.
But reatining the fact the Customers are still very unsure of MDM's results they are not ready to take that easy plunge at this point of time which is making MDM are slow runner.
But if you look closely with what MDM can deliver with the latest MDM 7.1 version and the business problems the companys are facing with their master data especially in a time of mergers and acquistions.SAP MDM will rise as Precise effective and unavoidable solution for customers.
So in my prespective the future of MDM is bright in the long run.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Hi Manoj,
I do not have much understanding of the PP module so do not know how well it can go with the MDM module.
But as far as my understanding goes if Your PP module is a functional area which deals with master data in any form then learning MDM along with PP will definitely help because you will be using your collaborative knowledge in a project which will greatly help.
MDM is a netweaver module nad is tightly integrated with other netweaver components.So learning MDM will automatically result in learning the related modules and give you an edge.
So in my personal view if you have a good amount of PP exposure go ahead and learn something new without cutting out completely from PP.
Knowledge can always be used and reused so will never go waste.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

In times like these, the business need for SAP NetWeaver MDM is higher than ever before. And SAP is fully on track to take the challenges: SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1 is in ramp-up shipment since November 2008 with unrestricted shipment being planned for May 2009. For detailed information on the functional scope, see the [MDM 7.1 site on SDN |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-mdm71].
The next release after that - which is currently being developed - will be SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.2. This version is planned to provide - among other things - further SOA support and tight integration with SAP Business Objects Data Services.
So, phasing out SAP NetWeaver MDM is not considered at all. On the contrary: It already provides a lot of value for many customers, which is a good reason for us to further extend the product.
