SAP xMII in India

Indian Software solutions providers are really trying very hard to get projects from US. But they are not able to get enough work. The main reason behind this is evolution of small and medium sized companies who are having expertise in xMII and charge much lesser than what our Indian IT Giants are demanding despite of the lack of knowledge.

So the solution providers are moving to Indian customers. But the question is how many companies in India will be willing to implement a multi-million dollar project unless it is a government one.
The rates of an xMII consultant are too high. $80 per Consultant hour is what our Indian giants are charging to the clients as compared $40 for an ABAP. So if they are turning to Indian customers then they have to bring the pricing down.

xMII is a really good tool and will yield profitable results for sure.

In US, situation is different. The charges are high($250-300 an hour) and average salary of an xMII consultant is around $1,20,000 a month. This is one of the reason behind the brain drain that's causing Indian companies to loose the expertise. Even the onsite salary of Indian companies ranges from $100 to $150 a day which is noting in front of that of a proper xMII consultant in US.
