PwC has been named as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape Asia/Pacific SAP Implementation Services Vendor Assessment, 2022 (August 2022, IDC #AP48871022). ‘SAP provides a comprehensive suite of enterprise applications, platforms, and services that address the day-to-day operational needs of businesses across industries. Through its long operating history and strong technological capabilities, SAP has become one of the most widely used technology providers that underpin the foundation of modern businesses.’

According to the report, ‘The Asia/Pacific region is witnessing a significant shift in the SAP implementation services ecosystem with growing IT complexities and ongoing business disruptions. Beyond just pure-play technology implementation, SAP's service partner ecosystem plays a pivotal role in helping enterprise customers reduce the complexity in implementing and migrating to next-generation SAP solutions by creating comprehensive road maps for implementation, streamlining new internal business processes, managing the internal and external stakeholder experience, crafting new strategies to minimize disruption to critical business operations, and ensuring the SAP implementation stays within budget and time.’

Commenting on PwC, the IDC MarketScape notes, ‘PwC provides the full life cycle of SAP implementation services (consulting, design, SI, migration, and so forth) across the spectrum of core SAP products in Asia/Pacific. Globally, PwC drives differentiation in the SAP services market by focusing on blending its service lines in advisory, tax, and assurance with its industry and technology transformation expertise to enable high-value outcomes for clients. PwC's Asia/Pacific SAP practice further builds on this strategy with locally driven teams and integrated offerings for digital, ESG, tax, cyber, risk, regulatory, and deals.’

It goes on to say, ‘The long-standing partnership between SAP and PwC has translated into several joint initiatives to strengthen customer success, cloud growth, delivery approaches, and business value realization. Recently, PwC also introduced Transcend with PwC, which complements RISE with SAP, to help customers maximize the business value of their S/4HANA cloud business transformation and set a direction for long-term digital success.’

According to the IDC MarketScape, PwC’s strengths are:

Midmarket enterprises looking to capitalize on SAP's cloud value proposition will find PwC's transformation offerings and integrated solutions aligning with their goals to leapfrog into digital.
