Why Deloitte

How we can help you reimagine everything, get the most out of your SAP® investments, and position your business for future digital demands

Your choice is an important one when it comes to SAP® solution providers who can help you get the most from your SAP investments—to help position your business for the evolving digital economy. And while the alliance between Deloitte and SAP has a long history and is widely recognised for excellence, there are many more reasons to choose to work with us.

So why Deloitte? There are several compelling reasons for choosing Deloitte to help you get the most out of your SAP investment—and to begin the critical digital transformation your organisation will require to meet tomorrow’s business needs.

Vision beyond tomorrow

We understand that constant disruption requires an ability to reimagine more than your business processes. It calls for an ability to reimagine everything—an entire universe of possibilities. Deloitte can help you reimagine your future, your finance function, your supply chain, your workforce, the value of your data, customer engagement, the potential of cloud, your strengths, your opportunities, and more—and then take action. Addressing today's challenges isn't enough. New solutions must be able to keep up with constantly changing business demands. As business continues to shift sharply into the digital realm, you likely will need solutions that can deliver meaningful results well into the future. That's one of the reasons we stepped forward as SAP's first launch collaborator for SAP® Leonardo—with new Deloitte Reimagine Platform offerings that can help clients strengthen core operations and their ability to innovate.

Ease of working together

Deloitte works as an extension of the client's own team. We help our clients stay current through Run SAP—certified methodologies that are aligned with the SAP Activate innovation adoption framework, coupled with practitioners who are up to speed on the latest industry and technology trends.

SAP S/4HANA® and analytics depth

SAP S/4HANA raises the bar on real-time, flexible business analytics. And Deloitte's analytics innovations have translated into results for our customers using SAP S/4HANA and the SAP HANA® in—memory database that powers it. We deeply understand the importance of SAP S/4HANA in analytics, and we have adopted it to run our own business. Every day with SAP S/4HANA, we are delivering results for clients, helping them make sense of big data, develop predictive analytics, and unlock instant insights. Deloitte is the recipient of numerous SAP Partner Excellence Awards and SAP® Pinnacle Awards—including back to back SAP Pinnacle Awards for our SAP S/4HANA achievements in 2016 and 2017.

Finance and supply chain transformation

Deloitte is a leading provider in the finance and CFO arena. In fact, we co-innovated in the design and testing of SAP S/4HANA Finance. With our focus on SAP's S/4HANA Enterprise Management solution—as well as supply chain transformation with SAP Ariba solutions and SAP Integrated Business Planning—Deloitte is a marketplace leader in experience and insights on how new SAP capabilities can help organisations reimagine their digital futures.

SAP® SuccessFactors® strength

Deloitte has been widely recognised by industry analysts for its global human capital leadership. Our strategic alliances recognise that leadership, too. In recent years, Deloitte has received an SAP SuccessFactors HR Excellence Award in the Partner of the Year category as well as an SAP Pinnacle Award as the Workforce Partner of the Year, recognising achievements on the SAP SuccessFactors front. What can happen when you reimagine HR with Deloitte's leading capabilities and SAP SuccessFactors' human capital management solutions? Real, lasting performance improvement, and a more intuitive approach to HR engagement.

Digital capabilities

We understand that enabling the digital organisation calls for more than just talk. It requires an ability to reimagine how your business should operate and then apply the right tools to turn your ideas into realities. Deloitte's strength in digital is a result of combining deep experience with digital resources such as SAP® Hybris®, OpenText, and SAP Ariba, with an agency approach that can help extend the usability of solutions—by leveraging SAP Fiori®, UI5, and native capabilities. And as an SAP Hybris Partner of the Year, we understand technology capabilities, industry demands, and customer preferences for engagement. Through the discipline we bring with our Enterprise Value approach to developing business cases and benchmarking assets, we help clients prioritise their digital needs and realise new value where it counts.

Cloud strength

Cloud is here to stay. The architecture model has grown to become an important consideration for a business-and-technology strategy. Our extensive experience implementing effective cloud solutions—public, private, and hybrid—gives us critical insights for guiding clients through the nuances of moving confidently to the cloud and weaving together new cloud technology with existing systems. Our focus on SAP Cloud Platform helps us deliver agility for our clients while positioning them for future needs. Whether it's purchasing licenses through Deloitte's certified SAP gVAR alliance, or gaining access to Deloitte’s cloud hosting experience, we can help you take advantage of all that cloud has to offer. We've also been recognised for excellence, with an SAP Partner Excellence Award for Cloud Services.

A history of quality and accountable support

When it comes to implementation, we maintain an equal focus on business process excellence and technical dexterity. The result? A reputation for quality. Deloitte has been awarded numerous SAP quality-related honors in recent years—including the SAP Pinnacle Award for Quality Partner of the Year. Our Application Managed Service (AMS) strength extends beyond quality implementations to work that helps our clients innovate, realise meaningful results, and transform their businesses.

Business value

Deloitte leads with a value-oriented approach to help clients solve business and technology issues. That’s a winning strategy—one that aligns business strategies with implementation objectives. And our Enterprise Value Delivery methodology and benchmarking capabilities provide early insights into the results that can come from process improvement, technology adoption, and talent transformation.

Preconfigured, implementation-ready SAP solutions

We have developed more than 50 preconfigured SAP—based solutions targeting a range of industry— and issue-specific challenges. These solutions have been built from the ground up to leverage the latest capabilities of SAP technologies, including SAP S/4HANA. We have thirteen preconfigured solutions and five accelerators that are SAP S/4HANA-based. And our offerings can be easily tailored to the unique needs of individual clients. In helping clients deploy solutions, we pair tangible assets with relevant industry know-how that represents decades of experience—including focused insights on leading practices and emerging trends.
