Due to the pressure to continue modernizing, the demand for cloud solutions among organizations is growing. KPMG Netherlands says it has extensive experience in supporting digital transformations and will now, together with SAP, take care of both the technical side and its implementation. Consider accelerating business transformations, implementing artificial intelligence (AI) or improving transparency around ESG.

SAP PartnerEdge program

The SAP PartnerEdge program offers an extensive toolbox with various SAP solutions. This allows KPMG to also use the knowledge of the SAP ecosystem. In addition, KPMG will have access to a wide range of tools and support that promote application development at a lower cost and faster pace.

Edwin Herrie, Head of Advisory at KPMG Netherlands, underlines the significance of this collaboration: “Organizations must remain agile to respond to changing circumstances, and technology helps with this. In addition, streamlining and standardizing processes is also important from a financial perspective. KPMG has a lot of in-house expertise, both organizational and technological. This is necessary, because these types of complex transformations involve much more than just IT. That is why we are proud of this collaboration with SAP and look forward to the projects we will tackle together.”
