Procurement consultancies - which one?

I'm looking to enter into Business Consultancy soon, but have no previous experince of this sector. I've 5yrs industry experience, being trained on a Grad scheme for a large blue chip Pharma/healthcare company.

For the past 3 years have gained Full lifecycle experience as business analyst/internal IS consultant on an Ariba Implementation project, some Project & Change mgt experience too.

My main aim is to move into the management consultancy arena - systems implementation/integration and gain varied industry experience.

The main BC's I'm considering that seem to be recruiting in this area are:

IBM, CapGemini, PA, Bearingpoint, Accenture, Atos

I'm not sure which to target/send CV to first.

Mt main criteria is :

specialise in Ariba Spend management projects

Training (want to continue developing SAP procurement skills)

Youngish/social environment

Reasonable Work Life balance

Salary

I'd be grateful for any advice on these firms and if I am missing any from my list ! Many Thanks.

Hi Max. I work for Atos and I would say that we fulfil the bottom four criteria quite happily, but Ariba isn't something that is in a lot of demand with our Operational Transformation clients. Good luck though mate...

Thanks for that.

Anyone know which consultancies specialise in Ariba Implementations ? and who are recruiting in this area..
