Hire SAP, ServiceNow, Dynamics and Workday specialists
The systems that run a company (SAP, ServiceNow, Microsoft Dynamics, Epic, Workday) are where AI is arriving fastest, and where talent is scarcest. SAP ends mainstream support for its older ECC system in 2027, and a 2025 Gartner survey found 61% of ECC customers hadn't moved yet. Madrone places the specialists and business analysts who run and migrate these systems.
