SAP consultants: implementing process-oriented software solutions

Complex software tools bring about new job profiles; this is also the case for SAP modules. An SAP consultant must possess business administration skills, good soft skills and comprehensive SAP expertise to be able to suggest, implement and manage suitable solutions for corporate processes. SAP consultants act as a medium between the IT world and the corporate cosmos.

SAP software solutions can be used to monitor, analyse and control corporate processes – regardless of the industry. Since our global economy forces companies to optimise their processes, the use of appropriate complex software modules is becoming increasingly important. However, this software can normally not be implemented and configured by company-internal IT teams. Due to the growing digitalisation of the economy and the fact that more and more companies are switching to SAP software, SAP consultants have particularly good career prospects.

What are the tasks and responsibilities of SAP consultants?

Competent SAP consultants must be able to determine the requirements of a company – for this purpose, they must have a solid background in business administration.

Furthermore, they have to quickly familiarise themselves with the processes of the involved departments, suggest suitable software solutions and support the software implementation. This requires good communication and change management skills and assertiveness.

  • Process evaluation and requirements analysis
  • Selection of suitable software modules
  • Software implementation and staff training
  • Management of the transformation required as a result of the software change

Following these steps, the SAP consultant is a type of supervisor for the company. Further developments and adjustments to the software are made constantly and according to need. The SAP consultant therefore continuously advises the company, develops the software further and trains employees.
