How Whitehall delivered expert SAP resources for a Global Manufacturer’s £1m digital upgrade across the US and Europe

Background

Over their 135-year history, this Global Manufacturer has built a reputation across Europe and the US for state-of-the-art design incorporating groundbreaking technology. Their products are used by over 100 armed forces around the world, and they offer a range of additional 360-degree maintenance coverage and services to their customers.   

Challenge

Their digital transformation and upgrade initiative required a partner who not only had expertise in SAP but who could deliver the key resources needed to complete their core project team extremely quickly to meet their tight timescales.  

As the project was being run in the US, any recruitment partner must be able to work within this highly regulated market and meet strict onboarding and governance requirements. With nearly 20 years SAP expertise and a dedicated US team, Whitehall was a natural fit.  

We were engaged on an exclusive basis to deliver multiple permanent and contract hires. 

Solution

To ensure that we met their rigorous requirements with precision, we implemented a single point of contact and built strong relationships with both the internal talent team and their SAP stakeholders.  

This meant that we were able to understand the unique skills and expertise that were needed for each role and dig deep into our specialist network to locate and offer the best talent on the market without spending time on irrelevant searching.  

We were able to pinpoint candidates with the niche S/4 experience and understanding required and who were ready to work both on-site and in hybrid roles.

Outcome

Over 7 months, Whitehall succeeded in delivering all the instructed hires, on budget and ahead of schedule including the following skillsets: 

• SAP Data Migration 

• SAP Data Project Manager 

• SAP QM 

• SAP BTP 

• SAP QM Business Process Owner 

• Change Lead for SAP 

• Talent Training Developer 

• Windchill Solution Architect 

 
We were also able to completely onboard every member of the team successfully nearly 2 months ahead of schedule.
