SAP strategy
From analysis to implementation – customized SAP strategies for your success
Today’s business world is characterized by high dynamics, growing demands and ever shorter innovation cycles. Efficient processes and flexible IT solutions are therefore essential for a company’s success in order to survive in the face of international competition.
However, the range of IT solutions on offer, particularly in the SAP environment, is diverse and often confusing. Especially for medium-sized companies whose core business is not in the IT sector, it can be a major challenge to maintain an overview and make the right decisions. This is exactly where we come in.

SAP Readiness Check
Recording of your IT system & process landscape and evaluation of SAP suitability
In our dynamic and fast-moving business world, it is often difficult for medium-sized companies to assess whether their current IT infrastructure and processes meet the requirements of a modern SAP solution.

Our consultants then use their extensive operations expertise to pragmatically record all business-critical processes and link these with the simultaneously created image of your current system landscape. With this holistic picture, we can transparently assess your current situation, identify the necessary adjustments and prepare the smooth transition to new SAP solutions such as S/4 HANA in a targeted manner.

SAP Requirements Engineering
Comprehensive requirements analysis and process consulting as the cornerstone for your IT future
It is often a great challenge to describe your own requirements for future IT solutions. While there is often a great desire for modern software solutions in departments, the target definitions usually remain vague. In addition to explicit specialist knowledge about systemic possibilities, departments often simply lack the time to define clear requirements. However, without precise specifications, inefficient processes that do not mesh well and inadequate IT solutions quickly emerge.
With our SAP requirements engineering, we support you in developing clear and comprehensive requirements for your new system landscape. We delve deep into the analysis of your core processes and, building on this, work with the specialist departments to develop a target image for the future target state. We translate this target image into a detailed catalog of requirements, which acts as a specification sheet for all further steps and forms the basis for a customized solution.
Our service packages:
- Analyze core processes in detail
- Develop target state or target image
- Define target processes
- Create an initial catalog of requirements
- Derive a technical specification
Your benefit:
- You receive clearly defined requirements
- You avoid inefficient IT solutions
- You create the basis for a customized SAP strategy
- You ensure that all relevant business processes are taken into account
SAP strategy development
Development of your customized SAP system landscape, implementation roadmap and business case calculation
In the jungle of IT system options, it is difficult to maintain an overview: The solutions from different providers are almost indistinguishable and even SAP offers different system solutions and license models for identical requirements. IT departments, which are already working to capacity, often have neither the time nor the experience to master the organizational and system-related challenges of a transformation. A clear SAP strategy, including a transformation roadmap, is crucial to ensure sustainable business success.
With our SAP strategy development, we help you to create an SAP system landscape that is tailored to the requirements of your practice. With the help of our technical expertise and in-depth understanding of your core processes, we select the best SAP solutions and identify deviations from the desired target status. To close these gaps, we integrate non-SAP-based enhancements where necessary or adapt the target status and specifications together with your specialist departments.
In order to meet structural and organizational challenges, we develop an implementation roadmap at an early stage that takes into account all key aspects for a successful system transformation. Based on the proposed solution, we also calculate the business case including ROI (return on investment) to support the decision-making process and present the costs transparently.
Our service packages:
- Develop your practice-oriented SAP strategy
- Create a detailed roadmap for the introduction
- Calculate the business case and ROI
- Analyze the gap between the developed target state and systemic possibilities
- Adapt specifications and target states to the selected SAP strategy
- Defining objectives for a successful transformation
Your benefit:
- You receive a clear and future-oriented IT and SAP strategy
- You benefit from a practice-oriented system landscape tailored to your requirements
- You gain a transparent cost basis and a well-founded ROI analysis
- You receive a roadmap for a holistic system transformation or system introduction
SAP implementation
From vision to reality – quickly and efficiently thanks to our IT and operations experience
Implementing new IT systems is often a complex and risky task, regardless of whether it involves individual solutions or a complete transformation of the system landscape. Companies must ensure that the new systems are seamlessly integrated into the existing infrastructure in order to avoid operational disruptions. For medium-sized companies in particular, this challenge is exacerbated by a shortage of resources and a lack of detailed knowledge about the new systems. This often leads to medium-sized companies in particular resorting to external support to implement the new systems.
We make sure that your vision becomes a reality – whether it’s system enhancements or a complete ERP migration (see also our detailed information on SAP ERP implementation). With our extensive experience, we guide you through the entire implementation process. Depending on your requirements, we carry out customizations ourselves or rely on our partners to ensure a seamless integration that optimally supports your business processes.

Change management and organizational development
Through targeted change management, we take your employees with us and set the course for sustainable success
Changes to established processes through IT implementations can lead to resistance and uncertainty among the workforce. Without comprehensive change management, acceptance of new systems and processes often falls quickly, which jeopardizes the sustainable benefits of the changeover. The involvement of employees is particularly crucial in medium-sized companies, as they often have a familiar corporate culture and flat hierarchies.
With our change management and organizational development approach, we accompany you and your employees through the entire change process. Our tailored training programs, combined with clear communication strategies at eye level, ensure that everyone involved understands the new systems and adopts them. Working closely with your team, we set the organizational course for sustainable success and reduce resistance.

What are the benefits of SAP consulting for companies?
SAP consulting offers companies numerous advantages that can ensure long-term business success. One decisive point is the optimization of efficiency and flexibility. Companies receive support in adapting and optimizing their processes so that they remain competitive in a dynamic business world.
A holistic analysis and strategy development based on this results in customized solutions that are precisely tailored to the specific needs of the company. This is particularly important for medium-sized companies, as IT resources are limited. Companies also benefit from the many years of experience and SAP expertise of the consultants, who are certified partners and use proven technologies and methods.
Another advantage is the sustainable benefit, as not only the technical integration but also the change management is taken into account. Employees are actively involved to ensure acceptance of the new systems. Continuous support ensures that the IT landscape remains up-to-date in the long term and is further developed through proactive consulting.
How does the SAP strategy process work?
The development of an SAP strategy follows a clearly structured and proven process that ensures that all of the company’s requirements are taken into account. The first step is the SAP Readiness Check, in which the existing IT and process landscape is comprehensively analyzed. This step serves to assess the current suitability of the infrastructure for an SAP solution and to identify the biggest areas for action.
This is followed by requirements engineering, in which the requirements for the future IT landscape are defined in detail together with the specialist departments. This creates the basis for the next phase, strategy development. In this phase, a customized SAP system landscape is designed, which is supplemented by an implementation roadmap. This ensures the success of the business
Once the strategy has been developed, implementation begins. Continuous monitoring and flexible adjustments during the implementation process ensure high quality and avoid unnecessary risks. Finally, as part of change management, employees are prepared for the new processes and systems to ensure a high level of acceptance and a smooth transition. The process is rounded off with ongoing support to ensure that the IT solution continues to meet the company’s changing requirements in the long term.
