SAP and McKinsey

Drawing on our individual strengths, SAP and McKinsey’s strategic alliance shifts the focus from technical implementation to business transformation.

Maximising the net value of business transformations

We're merging technology modernisation with strategy execution to help companies address critical challenges and drive business results.

Enterprises and CEOs across the globe are investing heavily in technology modernisation for digital transformations, as it unlocks significant value across their organisations. However, the majority of organisations are failing to realise the full potential of their investments when implementing traditional approaches to enterprise platform modernisation.SAP and McKinsey help organisations transform into intelligent, sustainable, and resilient enterprises that use the power of data, networks, and partnerships to achieve business targets.

Why McKinsey?

McKinsey is the leading strategy advisor on business and digital transformation. The consultancy has a vast global network of functional and industry experts, transformation specialists, and thousands of digital and analytics practitioners. McKinsey’s track record of value creation in large-scale projects is unparalleled.
