“The acquisition of SimplrOps’ business is a pivotal moment for Deloitte’s Human Capital practice, enabling us to offer our clients one of our first standalone SaaS products. This platform empowers clients to leverage the same operational tools that have driven success in our HR cloud operate teams,” said Deloitte’s HR Cloud Operate offering leader and managing director Marty Marchetti.

What This Means for SAPinsiders

Focus on the cloud is only increasing, plan accordingly. Paying attention to acquisitions can inform companies as to how the market is moving in the upcoming years. Seeing Deloitte acquire an organization that specializes in cloud ERP and HCM operations and implementations indicates that much of the business focus will be on the cloud, as underscored by SAP’s focus on driving innovation through its cloud offerings.

Information is the key to innovation. As companies seek to bolster their innovation capabilities, they will need solutions that provide real-time insights and information from across their entire organization. Solutions that bring together insights from disparate sources help clients maximize ROI and operational efficiency while enabling future growth and innovation.

Prepare for any implementations before it is too late. With the deadline for SAP ECC end of maintenance looming, many SAP organizations are making the move to SAP S/4HANA. As the deadline nears, there may be limited resources to help in this process. Companies like Deloitte specialize in implementation and integration support and are strengthening their portfolio in this area through this acquisition of SimplrOps. Companies should seek out an SAP S/4HANA implementation partner so they can have an experienced systems integrator guide their way. Otherwise, there may be few partners left to help with the implementation close to the deadline.
