Remote SAP Hiring: Saving Costs Without Compromising Expertise

Project Overview

A leading U.S.-based multinational retailer approached Centizen with an urgent need to scale its SAP development team. They were in the middle of a critical digital transformation initiative and required experienced SAP/ABAP developers—fast. However, local hiring posed challenges: limited availability, inflated costs, and long lead times.

By leveraging Centizen’s global talent network and flexible hiring models, the client successfully onboarded a skilled offshore SAP team that accelerated their SAP customization projects, ensured system stability, and delivered significant cost savings—all within aggressive deadlines.

Solutions Delivered

Rapid Access to SAP/ABAP Experts

The client’s internal team lacked bandwidth and struggled to attract niche SAP talent locally.

Centizen’s Solution:

We deployed a remote team of five experienced SAP ABAP developers within three weeks. These developers had hands-on expertise in ECC customizations and S/4HANA transitions. They were ready to contribute independently and collaboratively, helping reduce onboarding time and accelerate project delivery.

Cost-Effective SAP Team Scaling

Hiring SAP experts locally would have exceeded the client’s budget and delayed their roadmap.

Centizen’s Solution:

Using our flexible staffing model, the client quickly scaled for a 6-month delivery phase, saving on long-term commitments. We absorbed all hiring, payroll, and compliance responsibilities, allowing the client to focus solely on outcomes.

End-to-End Remote Hiring & Team Management

The client lacked the internal capacity to handle sourcing, screening, and onboarding while also maintaining project pace.

Centizen’s Solution:

We managed the entire recruitment lifecycle—from skill matching to post-hiring engagement. Our team also provided resource continuity, with backup hires readily available in case of attrition, ensuring zero disruption.

Infrastructure & Operational Support

Provisioning devices, setting up access, and managing compliance were a concern with remote onboarding.

Centizen’s Solution:

We guided the client through secure remote access setup and handled HR administration, equipment recommendations, and documentation, eliminating any need for internal operational support.
