    Big4, Cognizant, Infosys, IBM, BCG  have started Data Analytics, Blockchain, RPA (Robotic Process Automation), AI, ML- project implementations assignments for FORD, Toyota, TISCO, BIRLA CEMENT, Emirates Airlines, Carrefour, DELL,  Indigo, Ola, Swiggy, Caterpiller, Samsung.

    DOUBTS ARE:

    1. What are all the employment opportunities for CMA pursuing candidates/ CMA qualified with 1-3 years' work experienced candidates-
    2. What are all the opportunities available for small CPA, CA, CIMA firms (who have 1-5 CA's / staff/ CPA's ) in DA, BC, AI, ML area – (in providing implementation and advisory services)  - of these technologies to Small-Medium Business firms.
    3. What are all the employment/ consulting opportunities for a person at mid-level, who is a qualified CMA/CPA/CIMA  with  10-15 years'  work experience in the functional area like GL, AR, AP, FPA reporting, cost accounting


    In the 1990's the ERP implementation projects were implemented mostly by Big4, Cognizant, IBM,  Infosys, TCS Wipro, Oracle

    We all agree that even small size of the business firms has also to adopt BC, ML, AI, RPA.

    4. do Big4, IBM, BCG -   outsource these implementation assignments to small mid-size CPA/ CA firms, freelance consultants to do part of the activities, support activities.

     

     5. If a person wants to make a career in this Data Analytics, ML, AI  filed, how much to spend on Software tools costs
