For American companies navigating today’s hyperconnected economy, enterprise software is no longer a back-office tool; it’s a strategic asset. Yet as businesses grow more dependent on platforms like SAP to manage everything from logistics to finance, the limitations of aging infrastructure and the scarcity of skilled developers are becoming critical obstacles. The United States is facing a shortfall of SAP ABAP professionals at a time when system upgrades, custom integrations, and digital transformation initiatives are accelerating.
A new consulting firm set to launch in Hallandale Beach, Florida, aims to meet this demand head-on. Nardeli Consulting LLC will provide ABAP-based programming and SAP consulting to companies seeking customized, efficient, and future-ready ERP environments. With services that include legacy system migrations, performance optimization, and employee training, the firm plans to help modernize enterprise operations while strengthening the domestic technology workforce.
The founder, Igor Nardeli, a seasoned SAP professional originally from Brazil, brings a unique perspective to the venture. With a background that combines advanced technical training and years of practical experience in ABAP development, Nardeli has contributed to complex SAP implementations in sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and finance. His work has consistently involved aligning technical solutions with real-world operational needs, a skill set he now intends to apply to the U.S. market.
“I believe that building modern systems also means building the people who support them,” he said. “This business is not just about solving technical issues. It’s about transferring knowledge, empowering client teams, and creating long-term value that strengthens the broader economy.”
That dual focus—technical excellence and workforce development—is central to Nardeli and his firm’s consulting’s model. At a time when many American firms struggle to recruit and retain SAP talent, the company’s approach includes delivering customized training programs to upskill internal teams. This strategy addresses both immediate performance gaps and long-term sustainability, positioning client organizations to operate more independently and efficiently within their SAP ecosystems.
The broader context for this work is urgent. Across multiple industries, outdated ERP systems remain a source of inefficiency and risk. Delays in migrating from legacy technologies can hinder regulatory compliance, weaken cybersecurity postures, and undermine productivity. For medium to large enterprises dependent on real-time data and integrated operations, these weaknesses can translate into missed opportunities and higher operational costs.
Indeed, Nardeli and his consulting firm aim to help close those gaps by offering specialized services that are both agile and comprehensive. His perspective is that rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, Nardeli and his firm will develop tailored programming and integration solutions that reflect the unique needs of each organization. At the same time, it plans to support ongoing performance through post-implementation maintenance and optimization. This continuous engagement model ensures systems evolve with client needs rather than becoming outdated as business conditions shift.
In terms of national relevance, Nardeli’s impact could extend well beyond individual clients. Over the next five years, Nardeli Consulting expects to generate significant economic value through skilled job creation, vendor partnerships, and tax contributions. Its efforts to reduce reliance on offshore consulting and cultivate local talent directly support U.S. goals around technological independence and economic resilience.
More broadly, the company’s focus on high-impact sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, and finance aligns with national priorities around infrastructure modernization and competitiveness. By enabling these industries to adopt advanced SAP functionalities, Nardeli is zeroing in on contributing to a stronger foundation for data-driven decision-making and operational agility. These are not just technical upgrades; they are steps toward a more resilient and responsive business landscape.
In addition, ongoing labor shortage in SAP-focused IT roles remain a major concern- with demand for skilled developers outpacing supply. In response, Nardeli plans to address this by implementing hybrid staffing models that combine in-house expertise with a flexible network of specialized contractors and remote talent. This structure is intended to ensure timely delivery even amid market volatility while also creating pathways for knowledge transfer and employee growth.
For Nardeli, the company represents both a business opportunity and a personal mission. His professional journey—from contributing to SAP rollouts in Brazil to building a U.S.-based firm—reflects a commitment to bridging gaps: between outdated systems and modern ones, between clients and the skills they need, and between technical service and human capital development.
As Nardeli Consulting prepares to open its doors, it enters a market hungry for solutions that are as strategic as they are technical. Its success will be measured not only in contracts signed or systems upgraded, but in the degree to which it helps American businesses build a more capable, adaptable, and inclusive digital future.
