Delaware

What Delaware does

Delaware is a global IT consulting and systems integration firm headquartered in Kortrijk, Belgium, operating through a partnership-structured parent entity (Delaware Consulting CV) and a network of regional subsidiaries across Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the UK, the USA, Singapore, the Philippines, and India. The company delivers enterprise digital transformation engagements built primarily around the SAP ecosystem (S/4HANA Cloud ERP, SuccessFactors, Ariba, BTP, CX, IBP, Business Network) and Microsoft stack (Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Copilot), with additional capabilities in OpenText, Salesforce, AWS, and Databricks. Its proprietary asset base includes the FAST pre-configured industry templates (Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Mill Products, Extended Warehouse Management), the delaware Agentic Framework (with 20 SAP-validated AI agents built on Joule Studio), ConnectedBrain, EmpowerAI, and the Legi Food AI compliance solution developed in partnership with Trace One.

Delaware serves enterprise and mid-market clients across 18 verticals — including Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Food & Beverage, Life Sciences, Healthcare, Chemicals, Mill Products, Utilities, Retail, and Professional Services — through a direct consultative sales motion enabled by deep technology-vendor partnerships. Revenue is generated almost entirely through professional services: billable consulting hours, project-based implementations, and multi-year managed services and AMS contracts, with all pricing quote-driven and not publicly disclosed. The firm employs more than 5,000 people across 20 countries, supported by global delivery centers in India and the Philippines, and approximately 85 AI specialists following the January 2026 acquisition of ML2Grow.

The firm's strategic posture is anchored in three vectors: (1) capturing SAP ECC-to-S/4HANA migration demand ahead of the 2027 end-of-support deadline, (2) building differentiated AI capabilities through proprietary frameworks and bolt-on acquisitions, and (3) expanding its European enterprise footprint via embedded-consultant models such as the multi-year 7IM partnership in UK financial services. Delaware remains privately held with no disclosed institutional investor, appears founder- or employee-controlled, and has not undertaken any disclosed external funding rounds.
