While we may not be competing against other SAP service providers for our SAP projects, we do compete with them on one level – SAP Talent.

Many of the usual suspects are seeking employees from the same talent pool. The Big 4, 5, 6, 8 or 10 (we’ve lost count) consulting companies are all in rapid hiring mode. There are significant ‘pros’ associated with working for et alia. Some include:

• Lifecycle projects – Invaluable project experience. et alia doesn’t pursue business at existing SAP customers. All of et alia’s projects are full SAP implementations.
• Team Lead Responsibility
• No Silos for the Driven – Have the drive to learn other areas of SAP? We have the opportunity and tools, you bring the ambition.
• SAP Experience – On large-scale production support roles (of which we have none) it’s possible to get pigeon holed into a specific and limited type of SAP support, including supporting very old versions of SAP. et alia has access to the latest SAP technologies and systems. Due to our focus on new SAP implementations, hands-on experience on the latest SAP version or technologies is usually just one project away.
• Industry Focus – et alia offers the opportunity for individuals to acquire in-depth industry experience in the project-based Professional Services or Construction industries.
• Small Company Atmosphere – At et alia, you’ll come to know all of your colleagues. Because all of our teams are working toward the same goal, collaboration among your colleagues is inevitable and encouraged.
• Travel Flexibility – Lower percentage of travel requirements.

Limited Travel Requirements

Since we are introduced to the prospect well before the SAP software is purchased, we are engaged in discussions about how the project implementation will proceed. We set the expectation that once a Business Blueprint is established, our resources work onsite 50% or less during Realization and Final Preparation. None of our employees travel 100%.

We’ve found our approach to travel benefits everyone. Our customers realize a significant cost reduction with regard to expenses. And, our employees benefit because they can still have a consulting career without one of the most significant sacrifices traditionally associated with the position.

Make no mistake, travel is required. But et alia has taken steps to lessen the travel burden on employees. Our flexible approach to travel means our employees must be self-starters, motivated, disciplined, and exceptional with time management.
