What Qnovate does

Qnovate is a privately held enterprise consulting firm headquartered in Calgary, Canada, that operates as an SAP Gold Partner specializing in SAP implementations, cloud migrations, and digital transformation services. The company delivers solutions across the SAP enterprise stack — S/4HANA (Public and Private Cloud), SAP Customer Experience (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Commerce Cloud, Emarsys, Customer Data Cloud), SAP Signavio for process transformation, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Ariba, and GRC/Security modules — alongside the Creatio No-Code Platform and hyperscaler infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP). Qnovate augments this portfolio with proprietary QEdge accelerators that package fixed-scope, fixed-cost implementations of Sales Cloud V2, Service Cloud V2, and CRM On-Prem-to-Cloud V2 migrations, delivered within 12-week timelines and reportedly 40-60% faster than baseline.

The firm generates revenue through three primary streams: professional services (time-and-materials or fixed-scope SAP consulting and implementation engagements), recurring managed services for SAP applications with global coverage, and packaged QEdge accelerator offerings. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with channel-led motions through SAP PartnerEdge co-selling, Creatio referrals, and technology alliances with Microsoft, AWS, GCP, SUSE, RedHat, and Palo Alto Networks. The company serves mid-market and large enterprises across nine verticals — chemicals, industrial machinery, oil & gas, wholesale distribution, mining, public sector, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and mill/building products — with a named client base of 20+ organizations including Bombardier, Huntsman, Avantor, Petronas, Clearwater, HCL, KIK, and Hatch. Qnovate employs 101-250 people across 12 offices in 6+ countries (USA, Canada, UK, Netherlands, India, Singapore), and is founder-led by Deepak Suri (25+ years in enterprise software), with a senior leadership team drawn from SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft, Tata Group, and WPP. The firm holds SAP Gold Partner status (achieved May 2024) and has been selected by SAP as a strategic BTM Partner for Signavio-led process transformation.
