Hiring the right SAP Expert saves you time & money

Our SAP staff augmentation model allows an organization to hire outside personnel for a certain period to fit their SAP requirements. It is one of the most effective hiring models to increase labor capacity and acquire specialized skills temporarily, especially when there is a sudden boost in SAP skills with the ongoing talent shortages.

As in past years, organizations still struggle to hire and retain the right talent to facilitate their SAP technology advancement projects. That challenge will loom larger this year for companies faced with moving to SAP S/4HANA Cloud and implementing other potentially transformative technologies.

Enhancing Your SAP Capabilities with Staff Augmentation

SAP staff augmentation involves hiring external SAP consultants to collaborate with your internal team, enriching their skills, knowledge, and experience. These consultants can work on-site or remotely, based on your organization's specific needs. This approach allows businesses to flexibly scale their SAP resources according to project demands without the commitment of hiring full-time employees.

By leveraging SAP staff augmentation, your business gains access to expert consultants who bring invaluable insights and innovative solutions to complex SAP challenges. Here’s how this strategy can be a cost-effective solution.

Key Benefits of SAP Staff Augmentation

1. Cost Savings on Full-Time Employees

Reduced Hiring Expenses: Engage external SAP consultants on a project basis, eliminating the costs of salaries, benefits, and training associated with full-time hires.

2. Scalability and Flexibility

Resource Adjustment: Scale your SAP resources up or down as project demands fluctuate, ensuring efficient resource allocation without the burden of permanent staff.

3. Access to Specialized Expertise

Expert Insight: Benefit from the extensive experience of external SAP consultants who have worked on various projects across different industries. Their specialized knowledge can guide your organization towards best practices and effective solutions.

Does staff augmentation increase costs?

Staff augmentation can be more cost-effective than hiring and retaining in-house employees. You can eliminate costs associated with recruitment, employee benefits, health insurance, training, 401K, office supplies, and more. It is also more flexible as you can easily scale your headcount up or down based on workload demands. A staff augmentation approach also enables you to hire developers in countries with lower costs of living which is often more cost-effective than hiring locally or in cities with a high cost of living.
How is staff augmentation different to outsourcing?

Different models offer distinct advantages based on your requirements. In a staff augmentation approach, you oversee the management of any additional staff directly. Conversely, in a software outsourcing setup, you entrust day-to-day management and administrative duties to the external partner. Staff augmentation suits scenarios where you aim to enhance your current teams while maintaining managerial involvement. On the other hand, software outsourcing proves beneficial when you seek to distance yourself and entrust your software development entirely to an external team.
What are the benefits of using SAP staffing augmentation services over outsourcing it to our SAP partner?

Utilizing our SAP staffing augmentation services offers several advantages over outsourcing to an SAP partner: Flexibility: Staff augmentation allows for more flexibility in scaling your SAP team according to project needs, without the long-term commitments often associated with outsourcing to an SAP partner. Control: With staff augmentation, you retain control over the selection and management of SAP professionals, ensuring alignment with your project requirements and company culture. Cost Efficiency: Staff augmentation can be significantly more cost-effective than outsourcing to an SAP partner, as you only pay for the specific services and expertise you require, without additional overhead costs. Specialized Expertise: Staff augmentation allows you to access specialized SAP expertise directly, tailoring your team composition to match the specific needs of your project. Seamless Integration: By augmenting your existing team with SAP professionals, you facilitate seamless integration and collaboration, leveraging both internal and external talent to drive project success. Overall, SAP staffing augmentation services offer greater flexibility, control, cost efficiency, specialized expertise, and seamless integration compared to traditional outsourcing to an SAP partner.
When should I use SAP staffing augmentation services?

Utilizing a staff augmentation company can greatly benefit your business goals in various scenarios. Some of these scenarios include: Expertise Access: Tap into a wide range of specialized SAP skills and experience for efficient project execution. Scalability: Quickly adjust your team size to match project needs without long-term commitments. Cost-Effectiveness: Reduce overhead costs by outsourcing SAP staffing needs, including the option for lower-cost remote teams. Faster Deployment: Accelerate project timelines by sourcing skilled professionals ready to start immediately. Risk Mitigation: Mitigate talent shortages and project risks by partnering with a reliable SAP staffing provider.
Can I use SAP staff augmentation for short-term projects & long-term projects?

Yes, you can certainly utilize SAP staff augmentation services for both short-term and longer projects, each offering distinct benefits. We have contractors available that can collaborate with your team for a minimum of 1 months. However, many companies we have supported have often used our contractors between 6-24 months.
How soon can you provide us SAP candidates to interview?

Upon receiving your skills request, we ensure qualified SAP talent is available for interview within 48 hours.
How soon can you onboard an SAP expert onto our team?

While the timeframe can vary, typically we can have an SAP Consultant ready to join your team within one week. In rare cases, it may take up to 30 days, usually due to consultants wrapping up existing commitments.
Do all your consultant's come well referenced?

Yes, all of our SAP consultants undergo a thorough vetting process that includes checking references from previous clients or employers. We ensure that each consultant we provide has a strong track record of success and comes highly recommended by their references.
Do you perform drug screen and background checks?

Yes, we conduct comprehensive drug screenings and background checks for all our consultants to ensure the highest standards of professionalism and safety.
What are the benefits of running a contractor through an SAP Staffing Partner?

Using an SAP staffing provider streamlines the process of contractor payments and invoicing for your organization in several ways: Efficiency: The staffing provider handles all aspects of contractor payments, including payroll processing and disbursing payments to contractors. This frees up your internal resources and eliminates the administrative burden associated with managing contractor payments. Accuracy: By leveraging specialized systems and expertise, SAP staffing providers ensure accurate and timely payments to contractors, reducing the risk of errors or discrepancies in payment processing. Compliance: SAP staffing providers are well-versed in labor laws and regulations, ensuring that all contractor payments comply with legal requirements, including tax obligations and wage regulations. Cost-Effectiveness: Outsourcing contractor payments to an SAP staffing provider can result in cost savings compared to managing payments in-house. This is particularly true when considering overhead costs associated with payroll processing and administrative tasks. Focus on Core Activities: By delegating contractor payment responsibilities to a staffing provider, your organization can focus on core business activities, driving productivity and growth without being bogged down by administrative tasks.
Do you provide contractors with benefits?

Yes, we provide all W2 contractors with full benefits including healthcare, dental, vision, PTO, and 401k options.
