Hire SAP Consultants and ABAP Developers
Functional and technical people for the SAP estate.
SAP work divides into two jobs that are rarely done well by the same person. One is configuration — knowing what the business process ought to be and where in the system it is expressed. The other is extension: ABAP, interfaces, Fiori apps and the code that runs when standard behaviour is not enough. A programme that staffs only one of them either builds around the product or configures itself into a corner.
The work we staff is usually the second kind sitting next to the first — taking a process decision that has already been made and implementing it so it survives the next upgrade. That means enhancements written where SAP intended them rather than where they were quickest, custom code that stays out of the standard’s way, and interfaces that are idempotent because a document will eventually be posted twice.
SAP Functional Consultants
Consultants who know what the process ought to be and where in SAP it is expressed — not only how to click through the configuration.
SAP ABAP Developers
ABAP developers who write enhancements where SAP intended them, so the next upgrade is an event rather than a project.
SAP Fiori and UI5 Developers
Fiori and UI5 developers building the screens people actually use, on OData services designed for the screen rather than exposed from a table.
SAP Integration Consultants
Consultants for the interfaces around SAP — Integration Suite, CPI, PI/PO, IDoc, and the reconciliation that proves they worked.
What to look for when hiring
Ask what happens when an inbound IDoc arrives twice. Enterprise interfaces are replayed constantly — by a middleware retry, an operator, or a failed batch being rerun — and the answer separates someone who has supported an interface from someone who has only written one.
