What K2 Consulting Partners does

K2 Consulting Partners (K2CP) is a UK-headquartered global business and IT consulting firm founded in 2014 by CEO Mike Hunter. The firm delivers enterprise-scale ERP implementations, cloud transformation, process improvement, change management, and managed services across multiple packaged software platforms — Oracle (Fusion, HCM, NetSuite), Infor, Salesforce, IFS, SAP, plus Microsoft Dynamics 365, Epicor, Sage, and Blue Yonder — targeting large enterprises in manufacturing, FMCG, banking, insurance, energy, telecoms, retail, travel & logistics, aerospace & defence, public sector, and life sciences.

The firm operates a contractor/partner model rather than a traditional employee pyramid, drawing on a network of 14 vetted partner firms (each known to the leadership team for a minimum of five years) to access 5,000+ consultants across onshore, near-shore, and offshore (India/Vietnam) locations. Its core technology assets are the proprietary K2DF delivery framework, the K2DDP digital delivery platform, K2DA independent delivery assurance, K2HC programme healthcheck, and a CRM Maturity Assessment Tool — codifying lessons from 500+ prior engagements and 150+ years of combined leadership experience. The firm pursues vendor-led referral channels through formal delivery partnerships with Oracle, Infor, IFS, and Salesforce, and a Trusted Partner relationship with NTT DATA.

Commercially, K2CP monetises through professional consulting services (time & materials, fixed price, stage gate, value/benefits based pricing) plus recurring managed-services subscriptions (K2SD / K2FS / K2ES) and a PMaaS programme management offering. Pricing is positioned at approximately 50% below traditional SIs via low overheads, and the firm claims zero programme failures, 100% client satisfaction, every invoice paid in full, and 30% faster value realisation versus competition. No external funding, no public financials, founder-controlled private company.

• InforcoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerK2CP are one of Infor's largest consulting delivery partners. With over 5,000 consultants globally and over 500 functional and technical Infor consultants, they are able to deliver globally. Unlike most other Infor partners, K2CP were invited by Infor to become a partner due to their track record of successful delivery and need for a multi-site, multi-country delivery partner in Europe. Infor's Ex International Head and EVP Cormac Watters stated: 'I am delighted to add such a great proven partner to the Infor network. Mike and his teams are first class and will add huge talent, experience, and resource into our eco-system.'

• NTT DATAmajorStrategic or Co-development PartnerNTT DATA have been working with K2 Consulting Partners as a Trusted Partner for over 3 years. They have built a great partnering relationship with exceptional trust. The speed of response, quality of consultants at the right price point has met NTT DATA's SLAs whether for individual consultants or large consulting teams. K2CP has brought great added value with their thought leadership and focus on successful delivery.
• SAPsecondaryImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerK2CP has considerable experience in SAP, with the expertise to assist or lead SAP project recovery, upgrades and new implementations. While not an official SAP partner mentioned in the same context as Oracle, IFS, and Infor, SAP capability is referenced as a significant offering.
• 14 Partner Firms NetworkcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerK2CP has 14 partner firms as part of their network, as well as a number of other key relationships, that allow them to staff up all projects and programmes. They are NOT an agency but a consulting firm that takes full ownership and responsibility for all client work. All partner firms must be known by the K2CP team for a minimum of 5 years to ensure trust and quality standards are maintained.
• Offshore Delivery Centres (India and Vietnam)supportingStrategic or Co-development PartnerK2CP has expanded offshore capability to include partners in both India and Vietnam. These offshore delivery centres support their onshore, near-shore and offshore capabilities for managed services and implementation delivery.

Broad incumbents

• NTT DATA: Global IT services and SI firm with broad ERP, cloud, and managed services. K2CP is positioned as a 'trusted partner' to NTT DATA for individual consultants and delivery teams — both firms compete for and complement each other on enterprise transformation work.

Direct peers

• PwC Consulting: Big 4 advisory with significant Oracle, SAP, and cloud transformation practices. Competitive overlap with K2CP in transformation, ERP implementation, and managed services for enterprise clients.
• Accenture: Global SI with the largest ERP/Cloud transformation practice. K2CP's Global Head of Applications (Steve Barber) previously held a senior role at Accenture, and Accenture is the incumbent large-firm alternative that K2CP's model explicitly competes against on cost and flexibility.
• Capgemini: Large European-rooted SI with strong Oracle/SAP/Cloud practices. K2CP's Acting Managing Director (Laurie Stephens) previously led Capgemini's Supply Chain practice, making Capgemini a direct competitor for the same enterprise ERP and transformation deals.
• Cognizant: Global IT services firm with deep Oracle and digital transformation capabilities. K2CP's CEO Mike Hunter previously served as European Head of Consulting at Cognizant, and the firms directly compete for enterprise transformation programmes.
• TCS (Tata Consultancy Services): One of the largest global SIs with a major enterprise consulting and ERP delivery practice. Mike Hunter was European Head of Consulting at TCS before founding K2CP, and TCS is a direct competitor for large multi-country ERP rollouts.
• Deloitte Consulting: Big 4 advisory firm with deep Oracle/Salesforce/SAP and cloud transformation practices. Deloitte is the type of incumbent traditional SI that K2CP positions against on cost (50% lower rates) and delivery guarantees.
• IBM Consulting: Global SI with deep enterprise transformation, hybrid cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP partnership references), and ERP capabilities. Competes for similar enterprise transformation mandates that K2CP pursues.
• Slalom: US/UK-based boutique transformation consultancy focused on enterprise Salesforce, cloud, and data platforms. Closest peer in operating model: smaller, more agile alternative to Big 4/Accenture for mid-market and enterprise transformation deals.
• Thoughtworks: Global technology consultancy focused on digital transformation and enterprise modernization. Comparable to K2CP's transformation and cloud delivery practices in serving enterprise clients with complex multi-platform implementations.
