About INNOVERV
At INNOVERV we are building the future of consulting. Say hello to a fundamentally different model for our clients, and for our team.
We are an independent boutique consultancy, powered by a group of world-renowned industry leaders who have come together to shake things up and bring a fresh new approach to market. We specialise in helping our clients deliver business transformations using technology, with a focus on SAP and AI. Our approach is different – deliberately. We are the honest brokers – not a Systems Integrator (SI), not a Business Integrator (BI), but a new age combination of both. We are ‘an inch wide but a mile deep’- we operate in a focused space and have some of the very best thought leaders and implementors in S/4HANA, Cloud, AI and Data.
INNOVERV is an industry disruptor. We are big enough to MATTER, and small enough to CARE. Here’s a clip from our CEO Partha Chakraborty on our why and how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRNXsMXEcv8
