Many (article says 100) consultants with xK$ per day runs up 500M fast.
- antpls 8y agoMy model is basic, but at $1200/day per consultant, with 100 consultants, that's still about 4160 days, or about 11 years. Not what I would consider fast.
- kirbypineapple 8y ago$150 per hour is on the low end for good SAP consultants. We were paying $300 per hour for some InfoSys SAP HANA people, and even independents were around $200+. If they're doing anything beyond vanilla consulting work with SAP then I doubt they're using cheaper offshore talent. Or maybe they are and that's why this project has failed so spectacularly. (Note: I'm not saying all offshore talent is hot garbage, I'm saying the cheap talent is hot garbage, especially SAP consultants).
- manquer 8y agoTrue, but not all 100 of them are that level or being used full time for years would they ?
- patman81 8y agoOne way to calculate: 7years × 365days × 2k/day × 100 "experts" = 500m

- thinkingemote 8y agoPeople don't tend to work every day in a week, and there are holidays etc.
- darkcha0s 8y agoI think that price is a little inflated. 1200€ a day for a freelancer maybe, but the "normal" consultants will cost no more than 800-900€ a day because of blanket orders, etc.
- _Codemonkeyism 8y agoNot sure whom Lidl hired for their SAP project, if they hired from one of the big 'consultancies' which I assume, cost would be easily >2000 EUR/day.
- darkcha0s 8y agoI work with big consultancies, and they don't charge >2000€ a day for SAP developers, I know that for sure ;)
- _Codemonkeyism 8y ago$1200 is not realistic price for SAP consultants in Germany.
