A Decade of SAP Talent Delivery for Moët Hennessy

Moët Hennessy Information Systems supports the technology needs of the LVMH Group’s global wines and spirits business.

We began working together in 2011, providing SAP and enterprise systems contractors to support its developing technology requirements.

Over the partnership, our role evolved. Initially, the team needed people to help build capacity and support system expansion. As those systems matured, the priority shifted to finding and retaining experienced consultants who could support optimization and provide continuity for longer-running programs.

Our support adapted alongside those changing needs, developing from individual hiring requirements into an established enterprise systems partnership.

Moët Hennessy’s hiring needs changed as its enterprise systems developed.

Early phases required additional SAP contractors who could quickly contribute to implementation and expansion. As the systems became more complex, the team needed deeper functional expertise, program support, and people familiar with established applications.

Later, continuity became increasingly important. Retaining consultants who understood the organization and its systems helped preserve knowledge built over the course of their assignments.

The challenge was to keep recruitment aligned with each stage: adding capacity when needed, then supporting stability and long-term contribution as the program matured.

Our relationship gave Moët Hennessy access to specialist people while helping keep valuable system knowledge within its teams.

• Support through each program phase, adapting our recruitment approach from implementation and expansion to optimization.
• We prioritized specialists familiar with their environment, with relevant technical experience and an understanding of established systems.
• Continuity beyond the initial assignment, supporting extensions that kept experienced consultants involved.
• Broader expertise as requirements developed, extending our support into functional, technical, and program leadership roles.
• A long-term understanding of the business, building a specialist talent network around Moët Hennessy’s core systems.

Across the partnership, we supported requirements spanning 12+ technology domains, covering functional, technical, and wider enterprise systems expertise.

• SAP functional expertise: FI/CO, SD/MM and Controlling.
• SAP development: ABAP and R/3 development.
• Enterprise performance management: Essbase and TM1 / IBM Planning Analytics.
• Project and program support: SAP project management, including FI/CO and HR support, and project management for enterprise tools.
• Wider enterprise systems: Enterprise systems consultancy, Excel/Access consulting, and PHP development.

At MA, we developed our SAP recruitment approach around Moët Hennessy’s changing requirements. We focused on building access to relevant specialists and supporting their continued involvement as the work progressed.

Targeted SAP Network Development

We built and maintained a network of SAP consultants aligned with Moët Hennessy’s core systems.

This gave us a foundation for supporting new requirements as they arose, from functional consultants and developers to project management and enterprise systems specialists.

System Knowledge Retention

We prioritized contractors with relevant organizational and system familiarity, recognizing the value of people who already understood the environment.

Our approach aimed to reduce onboarding risk and support operational continuity as assignments and programs developed.

Expansion-to-Optimisation Transition

As the systems matured, we adapted our hiring strategy accordingly.

Alongside additional delivery capacity, we supported requirements focused on optimization, ongoing support, and program leadership. This kept our recruitment activity connected to what the team needed at each stage.

Long-Term Contractor Engagement

We supported assignment extensions and continuity planning to help preserve knowledge within the team.

Keeping experienced consultants involved helped maintain familiarity with the systems and provided consistent support across longer project lifecycles.

Year 1: Initial Engagement

We began by providing 12 SAP and enterprise systems contractors across FI/CO, SD/MM, ABAP, R/3 development, enterprise performance management, and technical support.

This initial delivery established the foundation for our longer-term partnership.

Year 4: Expansion Phase

We delivered five targeted placements across SAP FI/CO, enterprise performance management, project management and leadership.

The requirements reflected a growing need for deeper functional knowledge and program expertise.

Years 5–6: Accelerated Growth

Placements increased from five to nine within 12 months, comprising eight new contracts and one extension.

Our support broadened across SAP technical, functional and transformation requirements as system complexity increased.

Year 7 Onwards: Optimization and Continuity

The emphasis shifted to retaining experienced consultants, extending assignments, and preserving their knowledge of Moët Hennessy’s enterprise systems.

Our support continued to evolve around stability, optimization, and longer-term contribution.
