Within 8 months of working in close partnership Masentó D&A have rapidly proven themselves to become the supplier of choice for Data, Analytics and AI across the DACH region. We have a strong relationship with the team which is due to the clear expertise of a very experienced account management team who are all recruitment experts but more importantly have work exclusively within Data and Analytics.

Having worked with Masentó SAP for the past two years, I have always been impressed by their ability to find S/4 Transformation experts in particular those with languages such as German or French. As an organisation we recognise we have demanding budgets and specific requirements. The team at Masentó have really understood our demand and delivered the right SAP experts. I very much see them as a key partner to delivering my projects, wherever they may be located.
