Choosing the Right SAP Consultancy
Do you have any idea how many SAP Consulting Companies are out there? Or how many different types of SAP Companies there are in the SAP eco-system? Do you need to hire the services of top gun SAP Consultants but don’t really know what that means or where you might find an SAP Consulting Company with access to a vast network of SAP consultants?

SAP Consulting Has To Charge Top Dollar
You could, of course, hire them from SAP. Though you will pay top dollar for them, they come with the distinct advantage of having access to all the internal SAP resources, but they also have one big disadvantage, and that is they must cover their fully loaded cost (FLC) plus an acceptable margin, which is substantial. You may also find that if your project is small, or less than strategic in nature, you may not get the attention you want and deserve when you need it. This holds true for the big 4 as well, as the models are largely the same?
