Behind every major company from automotive leaders to global retailers there’s a system keeping operations connected:
SAP (Systems, Applications and Products).
More than 80 % of the world’s top companies rely on SAP to manage everything from logistics to payroll, from manufacturing to finance.
SAP isn’t just software; it’s the invisible infrastructure of global business.
And that makes SAP consulting one of the most valuable skillsets on the planet.
The Growing SAP Talent Gap
As digital transformation accelerates worldwide, industries need experts who can make technology work together.
But there’s a problem demand for SAP professionals is growing faster than the supply of trained consultants.
In the Middle East, this gap is even wider.
With governments investing heavily in Vision 2030 and national digital strategies, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are driving enterprise modernization at record speed.
Banks, retailers, manufacturers, and logistics firms are migrating to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, yet many can’t find enough local consultants to implement it.
That gap is the career opportunity you might be missing.
Why This Moment Matters
In today’s market, timing is everything. Right now, global SAP partners and enterprise clients are actively recruiting in Saudi Arabia and Egypt to build regional delivery hubs. This means local, certified SAP consultants are in unprecedented demand often with salaries well above regional averages.
The beauty of this field?
It blends technical knowledge with real business impact.
SAP consultants don’t just configure systems they help organizations work smarter, reduce waste, and scale efficiently.
For graduates, career shifters, or professionals seeking faster growth, this is a career that delivers both stability and momentum.
From Global Shortage to Local Opportunity
According to IDC and SAP Insights reports, the global shortage of qualified SAP talent exceeds 100,000 consultants annually. By 2027, that number could triple as more organizations migrate to cloud-based ERP systems.
For Saudi Arabia, this aligns perfectly with Vision 2030’s goal of building local digital capability.
For Egypt, it represents a pathway to position its young, tech-savvy workforce on international projects.
Simply put: the world needs SAP consultants — and the Middle East is ready to supply them.
