BearingPoint North America marks first anniversary and strengthens global transformation capabilities
The joint venture between BearingPoint and ABeam Consulting brings together local market insights, global delivery capabilities, and end-to-end expertise in SAP and AI-driven enterprise transformation.
CHICAGO & AMSTERDAM & TOKYO, October 30, 2026--BearingPoint and ABeam Consulting are marking the first anniversary of BearingPoint North America, their joint venture headquartered in Chicago. Established in September 2025, the joint venture builds on the companies' strategic alliance dating back to 2011 and strengthens their ability to support clients across the Americas, Europe, and Asia through an integrated global delivery model.
During its first year, BearingPoint North America has continued to develop the operating foundation for delivering complex, cross-border transformation programs. Its model combines BearingPoint's established presence in the United States and European industry expertise with ABeam Consulting's strength in Asia and global execution capabilities. Shared investment, joint leadership, and a single operating model under the BearingPoint brand are designed to deliver quality and accountability across markets.
"Our joint venture responds directly to the challenges global companies face today. By uniting ABeam's strengths in Asia with BearingPoint's European heritage and established US presence, we can bring clients local market insights, global reach, and consistent execution wherever they operate," said Matthias Loebich, Managing Partner at BearingPoint.
Addressing the need for integrated global transformation
Global businesses are under pressure to modernize legacy technology, scale AI, redesign operating models, and establish the data and governance foundations required for lasting change. At the same time, they need coordinated execution across markets while remaining responsive to local regulations, cultures, and business needs. BearingPoint North America addresses this need by combining local market proximity with a consistent global approach.
The joint venture delivers end-to-end SAP consulting and implementation services, including strategy and business consulting, technical implementation, managed services, IP-based offerings, and SAP Business AI services for American, European, and Asian clients.
Beyond large-scale SAP transformation, the joint venture supports co-innovation in areas including AI-native enterprise transformation, global supply chain optimization, enterprise architecture modernization, and the responsible integration of sustainability into business transformation. Common governance and delivery structures enable BearingPoint and ABeam Consulting teams to work as one integrated transformation team across regions.
