*** Why SAP adopting companies need consultants - not companions *** Recently, the CEO of a German engineering company challenged me to a pub crawl. After a few assorted whiskys, he abandoned all restraint and launched into a rant about how consulting companies in the SAP space have evolved over the last 20 years. His point was that many SAP consultants have regressed into merely executing technical services instead of providing genuine consulting. Which his view is even worse because SAP itself has "increasingly distanced itself from actual customer advisory in the sales phase, putting emphasis more on showcasing features and functions in a colorful way." Indeed: It’s a sign of poverty of imagination for a consultant to sit down with a white paper and just ask for requirements instead of having an own vision and best practices that deliver real value to customers. The notion of "We build anything you want" has been misinterpreted as being customer-centric, but in reality, it often reveals a lack of vision. "Business Innovation" doesn't occur through "Systems Integration" alone but through consultants who possess both industry and technical knowledge. These consultants can act as enterprise architects, guiding customers through the "why, what, and how" of Digital Transformation with SAP. This becomes even more important when we aim to bring customers to the cloud via "fit-to-standard" methods like SAP Activate. Large enterprise transformations require mapping customer challenges to capabilities, ensuring the right architecture is designed. As the CEO put it: SAP adopters need consultants, not companions! No disagreement here. #sap #technology #consulting

Irony of sorts 1. SAP is pushing it's ECC customers to move to S4 Hana 2. Customers are contemplating on ROI, resource crunch and funds 3. SIs are running around to sign up projects 4. Consulting companies are treating SAP consultants pathetically Everyone is talking about resource crunch. If you guys do not know how to handle consultants, pay the right price, create the right environment, what the heck is the hue and cry about 2027 deadline ? You are not even prepared for transition, despite knowing the ground reality. Start collaborating with the right consultants first. This is the fundamental requirement. Your deployment options, your investments in infrastructure, your business process re-engineering, your implementation plans and every Goddamn thing you are currently planning or planning to plan in future, will have no meaning, if you don't create a good eco-system of great consultants. You not only must reward the good, but create more good consultants. If not, your 2027 will never arrive. I have been witnessing vendors and SIs bargaining cheap, ill-treating consultants and letting go good people for silly and poor reasons. Have your people approach right, and then work on transitions / implementations / conversions. Without right people, you can't move an inch and all your AI stuff, automations, tools and methodologies, make no sense without right people. Stay human and people centric first, and then worry about other things. Kick out bad vendors and clean up your partnership mess. Don't assume they will bring good consultants to you when you need. They don't know magic. Only thing they do is run to the same job market and shop around. In their greed to make margins, they only bring the cheapest, claiming it the best. Don't depend heavily on them. Create your own internal hiring capability. #sap #sapconsultants #sapprojects #corporatestories #venkyvibes
