A next step in cloud innovation
Deloitte has been steadily building its portfolio of Kinetic Microservices innovations over the past year, with a focus on intelligent cloud-enabled industry apps and core extensions, as well as new delivery transformation capabilities powered by AI.

“This is the next evolution for industry-specific functionality, helping SAP customers focus on their desired business outcomes with Deloitte and SAP providing guidance on how to achieve them,” said Darwin Deano, global SAP chief technology officer, and principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “Between Deloitte and SAP, we have the industry experience, cloud-enabled architecture ecosystem, and rapid implementation capability to help clients succeed.
