Discover how leading professional services firm Deloitte Africa created one holistic workforce with embedded intelligence to increase business agility and slash costs, helping its staff gain new expertise in managing SAP software to help clients build intelligent enterprises.
Providing professional services in Africa through 28 offices in 17 countries
Deloitte is a leading global provider of audit and assurance, consulting, financial advisory, risk advisory, and tax services. Deloitte has grown steadily in scale and diversity for 175 years and now serves clients in more than 150 countries and territories across the world.
Deloitte Africa is a recent combination of practices across Africa that historically operated independently within the Deloitte network. After
the combination, Deloitte Africa wanted to replace the disparate legacy systems with a single intelligent solution, standardizing its business processes, delivering consolidated analytics and insight to executive leadership, and digitalizing the user experience.
