Salesforce / CRM Architect vs SAP / Oracle ERP Cloud Consultant: Salary & Career Benchmarks in Vietnam

While both positions are vital to a modern tech organisation, Salesforce / CRM Architect and SAP / Oracle ERP Cloud Consultant have fundamentally different daily workflows.

Salesforce / CRM Architect focuses primarily on designing the overall Salesforce architecture across an organisation's sales, service, and marketing clouds, setting data model and integration standards. Day-to-day work revolves around designing Salesforce data models and integration architecture, reviewing major configuration and code changes, setting platform governance standards, and advising leadership on Salesforce roadmap decisions.

SAP / Oracle ERP Cloud Consultant focuses on implementing and configuring SAP or Oracle Cloud ERP modules to support an organisation's finance, supply chain, or HR processes. Their time is spent gathering business requirements and mapping them to ERP configuration, running configuration and testing cycles, supporting go-live cutovers, and training end users on new processes.

Transitioning between these two paths is achievable but requires targeted upskilling.

Salesforce / CRM Architect roles score 52% on our remote-friendliness index (Moderate). This is because architecture and design work can largely be done remotely, though implementation projects still require periodic on-site workshops with the client’s finance and operations teams. Where in-office attendance is required, it is typically driven by governance review boards and stakeholder alignment sessions still pull architects into the office periodically, and Vietnam-based systems-integrator teams tend to formalise this into a fixed on-site cadence for the duration of an active implementation.
