The SAP practice of KPMG in Australia is anticipated to deepen having Think180’s 30-competent team join the global systems integrator’s existing SAP team.
KPMG Australia, a member firm of the KPMG global organization, is expanding its capabilities in work execution, asset management, regulatory compliance, and SAP expertise with its latest announcement of acquiring SAP migrations and integrations specialist Think180.
Sharing details of today’s M&A news, KPMG Australia CEO, Andrew Yates, stated:
“SAP is a world leader in business technology and KPMG is investing heavily in growing our offerings in this space. By combining KPMG’s capabilities alongside Think180’s, we are creating one of the leading SAP Intelligent and Enterprise Asset Management specialist teams in Australia.”
Yates highlighted that taking over Think180 reaffirms that the company is making strides in its commitment to technology transformation capability as well as fusing competencies with a ‘whole of business’ mindset for customer success.
Adelaide-headquartered Think180 is a leading SAP Silver Partner in Australia that offers an Intelligent Suite to help clients with work execution, asset management, regulatory compliance, analytics, managed services, and SAP migrations and integrations. Aside from the company’s Asset and Work Management Apps, Think180 also offers S/4HANA Migration service in partnership with leading data migration and integration company, SNP.
KPMG in Australia Reinforces SAP Practice
Known as one of the Big Four accounting firms worldwide, KPMG provides services in the fields of Audit, Assurance & Risk Consulting; Deals, Tax & Legal; Management Consulting; and Innovation & Digital Solutions. Its global footprint spans 144 countries and territories with over 236,000 partners and employees. In Australia, KPMG’s long-established professionalism and SAP expertise are trusted by more than 600 partners and around 10,000 employees.
Today’s announcement allows KPMG’s existing strong SAP practice in Australia to further deepen harnessing Think180’s extensive experience leveraging SAP technology in business process transformation and asset management.
“Having built a long history delivering SAP solutions that transform business processes, realize more from existing SAP investments, and utilize the latest technologies – joining KPMG represents a unique opportunity for us to ‘level up’ and expand our reach and impact. KPMG shares our ambition to create a world-leading SAP solutions business right here in Australia,” commented Think180 CEO John Schultz. “By merging our teams and linking in with the depth and breadth of business, technology, and compliance expertise within KPMG – we are taking a massive step on this journey.”
Pauline Doherty KPMG Partner & National SAP Practice Leader stressed:
“The acquisition of Think180 reflects KPMG’s commitment to providing industry-leading SAP services to meet the needs of the Australian market. Think180 has already established itself as a leading player in the assets and works space. We are excited to add their expertise to our existing team and further enhance KPMG’s unique, business-oriented approach to SAP implementations.”
Apart from moving the 30 people from Think180 who works across Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, part of the agreement includes having the Aussie firm’s co-founders John Schultz and Stephen Silver join KPMG as Partners, with their co-founder Peter Butler as Principal Director. The acquisition is slated to be completed later this year, wherein the Think180 business officially becomes part of KPMG.
