The real journey with SAP begins after go-live

The quality of your internal SAP team directly influences the smooth running of your landscape and the adoption of the solution by your business stakeholders and the user community.

So that we get the hiring of your team right first time, every time, we start every new customer engagement with a blank piece of paper and work in partnership to recruit SAP professionals at the desired skill level, ensuring a great team fit.

Below is an example where our expertise in building SAP Support teams has benefited one of our customers: 

 

World class SAP CoE build: BAE Systems AI

BAE Applied Intelligence is the cyber crime and technology arm of BAE Systems, a multinational defence, security, and aerospace organisation. With headquarters in London and operations worldwide, BAE Systems is one of the world’s largest defence companies- with over 80,000 employees.

The challenge:

BAE Systems wanted to build its own internal SAP organisation/CoE in order disengage with its support partner, to become self-sufficient. However, they were struggling to attract the best SAP professionals through their existing suppliers; some vacancies had been open for over 12 months. 

Why bluewaveSELECT?

bluewaveSELECT was recommended to members of BAE’s leadership team because of its successful track record in recruiting internal CoE’s – with a backbone of permanent SAP professionals supplemented by contract consultants where needed. BAE were attracted to bluewaveSELECT’s project approach to multiple hires and capability to provide a single point of accountability.

The solution: 

bluewaveSELECT scheduled a weekly conference call with BAE’s hiring managers and recruitment teams, in order to update on all open CoE vacancies and candidate pipelines. This provided BAE’s leadership team with full visibility of the ongoing recruitment process, working in direct partnership with bluewaveSELECT. This process was continued throughout the recruitment programme until its successful completion.

Behind the scenes, bluewaveSELECT took a ‘no stone unturned’ approach to sourcing both passive and hidden candidates local to BAE’s head office location; specifically recruiting candidates with a passion for post go-live service management and continuous improvement.

The result:

Our structured partnership approach to staffing BAE’s CoE closed within six weeks of taking on the engagement, with all vacancies successfully filled. BAE’s hiring team were genuinely impressed with the service levels received, as well as the hidden candidate pools that bluewaveSELECT were able to provide access to.

With their internal team now in place, BAE is able to fulfil its goals of long term self-sufficiency, greater control and cost saving.
