The International Data Corporation (IDC) study entitled IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific SAP Implementation Services Vendor Assessment, 2020, utilised the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment of service providers participating in the SAP implementation services market with specific offerings and capabilities in the segment. With the current economic climate coupled with the growing IT complexities and ongoing business disruptions, enterprises in the Asia Pacific region have shown a significant shift in the SAP implementation services ecosystem, relying on trusted and reliable implementation partners.

Rijo George Thomas, Senior Market Analyst of Software and Services Research at IDC Asia/Pacific said:

“As the competition for market share in the SAP implementation services market continues to heat up, implementation partners are driving differentiation by tying SAP implementation to the digital aspirations of the enterprise, leveraging industry expertise to enable core business transformation, running joint initiatives with SAP and hyperscalers to access new innovations, investing in technical talent and migration accelerators, and introducing new engagement models.”

“Moving forward, the success of an implementation partner in Asia/Pacific will be dictated by how the vendor is able to leverage the core capabilities to provide a high degree of localized services, accelerate time to market, and drive down cost of implementations,” he emphasised.

APAC’s Leaders and Major Players

The recent IDC MarketScape report shared the list of Leaders and Major Players among the SAP implementation partner ecosystem in the Asia Pacific region.

Leaders

• Accenture
• Capgemini
• Deloitte
• EY
• Infosys
• NTT DATA
• PwC 

Major Players

• Abeam
• Cognizant
• DXC
• Fujitsu
• HCL
• NEC
• Samsung SDS
• Tech Mahindra
• Wipro

Thomas explained that buyers in the region are seeking for an opportunity to reinvent core business processes, apart from a technical upgrade exercise, with S/4 HANA implementations. He stated:

“Consequently, implementation partners in Asia/Pacific have positioned S/4 HANA led business transformations as a key pillar in their go-to-market strategy for SAP services. Moving forward, success of an implementation partner in Asia/Pacific will be dictated by how the vendor is able to leverage the core capabilities to provide high degree of localized services, accelerate time to market, and drive down cost of implementations,” 

Vendor Assessment

IDC MarketScape employs a rigorous scoring methodology that looks beyond market share and provides a clear framework comparing the product and service offerings, capabilities, and strategies, including current and future market success factors for each vendor.

In the recent report, IDC MarketScape’s highly comprehensive assessment framework evaluated vendors on their current ability to support customers with end-to-end SAP implementation services as well as how well placed they are to grow the adoption of SAP solutions with their sound growth strategy in the Asia Pacific. 

The vendor assessment delved into 20 different elements across a range of criteria such as:

• Information gathered from vendor responses to IDC’s request for information (RFI) questionnaire
• Vendor briefings and sharing sessions
• Customer references
• IDC’s internal research

Enterprise buyers in the Asia Pacific can take advantage of this recent IDC study as a guide if they intend to venture on an SAP implementation journey, especially since the report was able to identify the key differentiation elements brought by 16 SAP implementation partners that maximises the value of customer’s investments.
