IS-U billing and FI-CA are different specialisms. A shortlist should say which one it’s solving for.

Questions worth asking before the shortlist.

Who runs what under RISE?

The responsibility split with SAP decides how much Basis capacity you still need in-house.

What is the plan for PI / PO?

Migration to Integration Suite is a project in itself, with its own skills.

Cloud ALM or Solution Manager?

Operations tooling is changing, and so is the profile that runs it.

Extension on BTP, or in the core?

Clean core decisions shape whether you need BTP developers or ABAP developers.
