At Deloitte, we combine industry insight with a deep understanding of today’s local and global business challenges to give our clients the intelligent, practical and principled solutions they need to resolve both today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. 

 

Let Deloitte show you how to push your career to the next level. And let your story unfold. 

 

Role Description: 

 

We are currently looking for qualified professionals to join our Technology consulting group. You will join a Deloitte team that prides itself by helping clients to not only solve complex business and technology problems but also to execute on the advice we provide. We work with a diverse group of clients around the world to help them to create competitive advantage, improve shareholder value and improve the performance of their businesses. 

 

You will be part of a collaborative engagement team that creates value for our clients by developing creative solutions that are visionary as well as pragmatic ‑ solutions that have impact from the back room to the boardroom. 

 

As a Consultant / Senior Consultant, you will play an important role in interviewing key client personnel, analyzing client issues and developing recommendations to solve our clients’ biggest challenges. Typical projects/activities include: leading a project work stream, conducting assessments of vendors and technologies, creating business cases for technology, developing a technology strategy and roadmap, leading innovation initiatives and implementing enterprise cost optimization programs. 

 

At Deloitte, we are seeking Consultants / Senior Consultants for positions throughout our diverse Technology Consulting practice. Positions will be determined based on your geographical and industry preference along with functional and cultural fit. 

 

Technology Strategy and Architecture: We work closely with technology leaders and advise them on how best to create value for their organization through technology. Typical projects include strategic planning assessments, enterprise architecture assessments, software selections, business cases, technology program management, and technology service management design and deployment. We look for extremely talented and driven applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds. 

 

Systems Integration: Our Systems Integration practice drives technological change to support our clients through organizational transformations. Our projects typically span the spectrum from project concept and visioning to standard and agile development delivery to the deployment of critical applications. We look for high-performing, motivated individuals with a deep understanding of technology who can communicate and apply their expertise to solve the challenges confronting our Canadian and global clients. 

 

Information Management & Analytics Technology: Deloitte’s Information Management & Analytics Technology (IM&AT) practice provides services that focus on one of our clients’ most important assets — information. We help organizations actively manage their costs and margins by empowering clients to deploy technology and processes that enable efficient management and delivery of actionable information. Businesses today are creating and capturing more information than ever before ‑ but that can make their challenge harder, not easier. These days, the quality of data can determine the success (or failure) of the most important business decisions. IM&AT can provide the solutions companies need to help address key business challenges by unlocking the value buried deep in their data. The companies that can access the information they need, when they need it ‑ and trust its accuracy ‑ have the upper hand where it counts. 

 

Application Management Services: We have one of the largest Application Management Services (AMS) practices in the world operating from our network of Global Delivery Centers (GDCs). We offer application support and maintenance, remote development, continuous improvement, database management, infrastructure management, help desk services, and advisory services. Our straight-forward approach is focused on helping our clients achieve better business results, and enable smart, efficient decisions to drive down costs, improve quality, and accelerate value. We need talented individuals who have the commitment to join a world-class support organization at one of the world′s premier consulting firms. 

 

Customer Solutions (CS): Our CS practice is recognized as the leader among all consultancies as determined by Gartner and Forrester. Our award-winning global CS practice is dedicated to helping organizations in their efforts to maximize the value and loyalty of each and every interaction across all channels, from Marketing to Sales to Service. Deloitte has a leading CS practice with an exemplary track record proven by customer satisfaction scores and industry awards. With deep functional and technical skills, our CS practitioners specialize in implementing Oracle - Siebel, Salesforce.com, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM and bring years of hands-on business transformation, implementation, and deployment experience to our clients. 

 

SAP: Our SAP Practice is deeply experienced in the full range of implementation challenges; from the complex, global ERP projects through to rapid, mid-market projects. From operating virtual teams across multiple locations and time zones to navigating variations in local and regional business practices, regulations and cultures, we stage complex deployments in ways that maximize benefits and manage risk. As a leading SAP partner, Deloitte offers a complete range of implementation services - from business case development and system design to configuration, testing and deployment. 

 

Oracle: Our Oracle practice helps clients successfully implement Oracle′s full range of enterprise applications products that include integrated suites of business applications software - Oracle E-Business, PeopleSoft Enterprise and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. The Oracle practice provides solutions to our clients that address manufacturing, financial, human resources, customer relationship management, supply chain, student administration and other functional system needs throughout the enterprise.
