Turning Complexity Into Clarity: How K&Y Tecnology Partner Plans to Redefine SAP Consulting

As American enterprises race toward modernization, the promise of digital transformation remains elusive for many. Despite heavy investments in enterprise software, a large number of companies continue to underperform due to poorly executed implementations, underutilized tools, and the struggle to align complex systems with real-world business demands. The disconnect between executive ambition and operational readiness is especially pronounced in environments reliant on SAP, the dominant enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform globally. In theory, SAP should help companies scale and streamline processes. In practice, however, the majority of organizations face integration delays, adoption issues, and technology gaps, problems now amplified by an acute shortage of qualified professionals trained in SAP systems.

This national challenge has become even more urgent with the fast-approaching end-of-support deadline for SAP ECC in 2027, which compels companies to upgrade to S/4HANA. For many firms, particularly those with multinational footprints, the transition demands far more than technical migration; it requires a comprehensive rethinking of workflows, languages, and cultures. The lack of available talent has compounded the problem. In the U.S. alone, thousands of job postings remain unfilled for SAP-certified consultants and system analysts, forcing companies to delay innovation and risk falling behind in an increasingly digital economy.

It is against this backdrop that Keitie Murakami Rodrigues is preparing to launch K&Y Tecnology Partner LLC. Based in Delaware, the firm will offer SAP-focused consulting services with an emphasis on intelligent automation, multilingual training, and post-implementation support. The company will cater to mid-sized and large enterprises across sectors such as logistics, retail, energy, and manufacturing, industries where SAP is already deeply embedded but often underleveraged.

Rodrigues, who brings nearly two decades of hands-on experience in SAP consulting, has worked extensively in Latin America and Europe, primarily in high-stakes environments involving complex system rollouts, tax compliance requirements, and multinational team coordination. Her expertise lies in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module of SAP, though her technical fluency extends across several other domains, including Finance, Materials Management, and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC).

Throughout her career, Rodrigues noticed a recurring issue: clients often acquired SAP systems without the strategic guidance or support structures needed to fully use them. “Too many companies invest in powerful technology but lack the support to make it work for their unique environment,” she explains. “What we want to do is close that gap, not just by solving technical problems, but by training people, simplifying processes, and making these tools truly useful.”

K&Y Tecnology Partner intends to offer more than traditional SAP services. The company will integrate intelligent technologies like robotic process automation (RPA) and predictive analytics into its solutions, helping clients shift from reactive to proactive operations. Unlike many consultancies that provide short-term technical fixes, the firm will focus on long-term performance optimization, multilingual user training, and client enablement. These components are designed to raise user adoption rates and ensure that systems do more than run, they evolve with the business.

In targeting a national footprint, Rodrigues is keenly aware of the U.S. labor market’s challenges. She aims to address the consultant shortage by hiring a multilingual team and creating internal pathways for training new talent. The firm plans to deliver services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, making it easier for global teams to collaborate and use SAP systems effectively. This approach not only broadens the firm’s reach but also speaks directly to the cultural and operational complexities faced by large enterprises.

K&Y Tecnology Partner is also expected to contribute meaningfully to the broader U.S. economy. With each SAP optimization project, the company will help businesses reduce inefficiencies, cut costs, and grow sustainably. In industries where even minor disruptions can have million-dollar consequences, optimized system performance can lead to measurable gains in productivity and compliance. Over time, the firm’s integration of automation and analytics is likely to set new standards for how SAP systems are used across the country.

For Rodrigues, the company represents more than a business venture. It is the culmination of years of experience and a desire to see enterprise systems function as intended. “Technology should not be something companies endure,” she says. “It should be something that works for them, drives innovation, and enables people to do their best work.”

With the launch of K&Y Tecnology Partner, Rodrigues is poised to offer precisely that kind of transformation, one grounded in technical expertise, cultural fluency, and a clear understanding of what businesses need to thrive in the digital age.
