Why consider an SAP independent consultant as opposed to a systems implementation partner? There are a few reasons.
Today I wanted to talk about contracting and why you should consider using an SAP independent consultant as opposed to a systems implementation partner.
You may want to consider using your own contractors as opposed a systems implementation partner, a big five firm, or a tier two SAP consulting firm for a couple of reasons. For one, they're very expensive in terms of hourly bill rates. They also probably have limited resources that are on the bench, and they have a vested interest to try to get the resources that they have onto a project, so you lose control over the quality of your resources.
Using SAP consultants gives you more control over the quality of the hire.
If you use a firm like ASAP Talent Services to help you find specific SAP talent, you get to interview lots of people and select who you want on your team. It really helps you control quality and compare different independent contractors in terms of their different rates and understanding what you get for your money.
Using a firm like ASAP Talent Services not only helps you control your quality and select who you want to bring onto your project, it's also a great way to hire someone potentially full time to your team. In other words, you can try it before you buy it. You can bring on someone in a contract-to-hire scenario or use SAP consultants when someone is on maternity leave or an extended medical leave.
If you have any questions about this topic or there's another topic you'd like to hear about in a future video, just give me a call or send me an email. I'd be glad to help.
