SAP development with room to scale: how the Vico “Nexgen” delivers large projects
A core team of 22 developers, backed by a growing network of independent SAP experts: the Vico Nexgen proves that headcount on paper says little about a team's delivery capacity. Nexgen is a Vico, a close-knit team of certified SAP experts that operates as a lean service provider through the Vicoland platform, and specialises in SAP development and the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
Who is behind Nexgen?
Walter Kunz and Juro Pranjic lead the Vico as Vico Leads. Their core team of 22 developers covers the full spectrum of SAP development: from document development to extensions and integrations to continuous integration on SAP BTP. The team has worked together for years, every team member holds one or more certifications, and the team leads are German-speaking. It delivers development work end to end as a service provider, from concept to go-live.
What does Nexgen do differently?
Many specialised development teams hit a natural ceiling on large requests: their own team size. Nexgen removes that ceiling with two levers. First, its own network of developers Walter Kunz and Juro Pranjic have worked with for years. Second, the Vicoland platform, which provides access to more than 30,000 SAP experts. If a project needs additional BTP specialists or extra backend capacity, the team grows to fit, efficiently steered by Nexgen's German-speaking team leads based on the principle of swarm intelligence, and scales back down once the project phase is complete. Clients get the reliability of an established team combined with the scalability of a large provider, without paying for that provider's structural costs.
Administration? The platform takes care of it.
What usually grows alongside a team is the administrative workload: contracts, commissioning, invoicing. At Nexgen, these run through the Vicoland platform. Clients sign one contract with one point of contact and receive one invoice, no matter how many experts work on the project. Payouts to all team members are automated. That leaves the team free to focus on what it was hired for: development.
“With our core team alone, we would have to pass on some requests. Because we scale through our own network and the independent experts on Vicoland, we can take on large projects as well. And the Vicoland platform handles the administrative side, such as contracts, invoicing and payouts.”
Why a Vico?
With Nexgen, clients pay for development work, not overhead. There are no management layers and no bench: every expert on the team is actively delivering. For independent experts, the model means access to larger projects than they could handle alone, working alongside colleagues they know. It is exactly this combination that makes Vicos a genuine alternative in the SAP development business.
