The relationship between the two companies has been a source of contention since the beginning of SAP’s journey. In the past, SAP has accused McKinsey of data-mining and providing false data in order to provide a competitive advantage. Additionally, McKinsey has been accused of providing misleading data about the performance of its consultants.
Now, McKinsey & Company and SAP announced today a partnership designed to help companies manage and improve their operations. This partnership will support McKinsey’s ongoing work to help companies achieve operational excellence and become more efficient, innovative, and agile in how they run their operations. To address this, SAP and McKinsey have drawn on their individual strengths to create a strategic alliance that merges technology modernization with strategy execution, thereby driving business results and addressing critical business challenges. With an initial industry focus on consumer products, retail, automotive, and manufacturing, SAP and McKinsey will offer an end-to-end design for SAP S/4HANA migration.
Basically, such vulnerability has catalyzed associations to put resources into modernizing the innovation behind their business working models. Be that as it may, conventional ways to deal with ERP modernization have over and over again missed the mark in amplifying business esteem, leaving C-suite needs like corporate methodology and authoritative attitude as bits of hindsight. Most recently, Merck KGaA, a world-leading life sciences company, worked with SAP and McKinsey to transform the company’s complex ERP system, moving from a collection of legacy platforms to a consolidated global system, complete with a new organizational structure and governance model.
Christian Klein CEO of SAP said a Sapphire Orlando audience this week. “This alliance ensures that McKinsey and SAP can work side-by-side to focus on deploying the right ERP with the highest ROI and sustained value from technology investments, enabling clients to tap into numerous new value pools.”
