Engineering and digital transformation consulting for industrial and enterprise clients
Scalian is a 5,000-person engineering consulting firm founded in 1989, organized around three service lines: Digital Transformation, Digital Systems, and Operations Performance. The stack reveals a dual-track operation—enterprise platforms (SAP, Oracle Primavera, Kubernetes, GCP) sit alongside embedded systems tooling (FPGA, VHDL, Verilog, CATIA)—while active adoption of cloud (Azure, AWS), testing automation (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright), and SAP S/4HANA signals modernization of both client engagements and internal operations. The engineering-dominant hiring mix (554 of 828 roles) and heavy project load around cloud migrations, infrastructure transformation, and ETL pipelines confirm a firm scaling to meet client demand for legacy-to-cloud transitions.
Notable leadership hires: Transfer of Work Lead, Methods & Tools Lead, Systems Engineering Lead
