The consultancy market is rapidly transforming, both in terms of the ways in which it is used and the needs of customers which are becoming increasingly complex.

Macroeconomic and social phenomena have speeded up the innovation and digitalisation processes of companies, both with a view to improving and optimizing internal productivity and the search for new solutions to improve competitiveness on the market, compared to competitors, in terms of the search for new solutions , improvement of product time to market, interpretation of consumer needs

In this context, suppliers of technological solutions such as SAP have expanded their offer and are transforming from corporate ERP suppliers to real suppliers of technological solutions for the integration of processes, the design and creation of applications via Fiori with a view to digitalization of processes, big data management, machine learning and artificial intelligence, integration with blockchain based scenarios .

SAP is focusing its offer by placing its Business Technology at the center as an innovation and integration broker, to want to reiterate the concept of how much the SAP offer is now addressed at 360 degrees to offer not only the “Core” ERP based processes also extended , but also all the tools for the integration of SAP and non-SAP applications, the management of large amounts of data and their usability in an analytical key.

The scenario proposed by SAP will lead in the near future to the opening of new scenarios for consultancy, the need for re- skilling of SAP resources and the possibility of taking advantage of new “Full Stack Based ” skills available at low cost on the market and easily trainable .

Many traditional consultancy companies will continue to propose the classic offer and the introduction of these new paradigms will be slowed down by reluctance and the “comfort-zone” factor that for years has characterized the mentality of many companies in this market.

There is room for players who start directly on innovative processes. These must have two main characteristics:

  1. “Born Cloud” Based , exploiting the deployment and scalability potential of the Cloud;
  2. “Business Technology Platform Ningja ”, for which to propose new SAP technologies to the customer, primarily Fiori, UI5, Blockchain, Low code programming, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning.
