Companies like Deloitte EY PWC hire huge number of software developer but provide consultancy, how so?
In: 6
To answer the question in a bit more depth, the Big 4 (EY, PwC, KPMG, and Deloitte) have _management_ consultancies. MCs advise company management on how to enact specific changes in their organization. This typically falls into one of three catagories:
– Strategic: High level business decisions, like which markets to enter, which products to launch, which companies to purchase/divest, etc. The big stuff that the C-suite is invovle with.
– Process: How to actually implement a given strategic priority. Like, if you decide to sell a new product, how do you operationalize that? What does your sales model look like? How do you optimize the manufacturing and supply chain? How do you set up a shared service center to handle support issues?
– Technology: The actual software and tech that allows for the change. If you decide that you need new CRM software, how do you actually implement that and get it integrated with your existing technology stack.
The software devs will work with the consultants in the third example – the consultants will do the design and planning to ensure that the business objectives of the technology are met, while the software devs will actually do the coding and implementation to those requirements.
