APPLICATION Consulting

Leaner IT for stronger business performance

We plan the application roadmap together with you and make resilient decisions. We translate your goals into verifiable criteria for functions, data, security, operation and costs. The starting point is your existing processes, not a product catalogue. We always evaluate SAP S/4HANA in comparison to RISE with SAP, Private Cloud and On-Prem in the context of your organisation. The migration path from ECC is evaluated in terms of effort, risks and dependencies. We consider the total cost of ownership over three to five years, including change costs, licences, and operating expenses.
SAP Activate and best practices serve as a guide without obscuring any special features. We evaluate integration capability based on specific data flows, compliance, and operation, including with non-SAP systems. All assumptions remain transparent, options comparable, and consequences calculable. The result is a clear decision template with a roadmap, milestones and responsibilities. We manage the implementation for you using KPIs for time, quality and costs. Purchasing, finance and logistics are given clear roles, while we plan for suppliers, customers and interfaces. This provides you with a reliable scorecard, a TCO calculation with scenarios and a recommendation with alternatives.

Many SAP decisions are based on the product catalogue rather than actual requirements. Migration costs are underestimated, operating costs are calculated incompletely, and integration remains unclear. The result: expensive wrong decisions and lengthy corrections.

We design the application roadmap with you and create robust decisions for an SAP, MS Dynamics or Salesforce landscape. We translate your goals into verifiable criteria for functions, data, security, operation and costs. The starting point is your processes, not SAP’s portfolio.
We evaluate SAP S/4HANA in comparison to RISE with SAP, Private Cloud and On-Prem – always in the context of your organisation.

The migration path from ECC is evaluated in terms of effort, risks and dependencies. We consider the total cost of ownership, including change costs, licences and operating expenses. SAP Activate serves as a guide without obscuring your specific requirements. We evaluate integration capability based on concrete data flows – including to non-SAP systems.

All assumptions remain transparent, options comparable, consequences calculable. You receive a decision template with a roadmap, milestones and responsibilities. We manage the implementation with KPIs for time, quality and costs.

The result: a robust scorecard, TCO calculation with scenarios and a recommendation with evaluated alternatives.

Heterogeneous application landscapes often develop organically – interfaces become patchwork, data flows opaque, and every change carries risks. Dependencies between systems are unclear, operational responsibility diffuse. The result: increasing complexity, longer time-to-market and high operating costs.

We develop a sustainable target architecture that connects your systems in a future-proof manner, whether it’s SAP, MS Dynamics or Salesforce. Processes, data flows and responsibilities are precisely defined. We clarify interfaces, data models, identity management and authorisation concepts at an early stagetailored to your compliance, security and operational requirements.
Integration follows proven patterns: batch processing, event-driven architectures or real-time synchronisation – depending on your business needs.

We seamlessly integrate existing systems without compromising data sovereignty. Where SAP technologies such as S/4HANA or BTP make sense, they are incorporated as part of the overall landscape.

Our implementation remains pragmatic: configuration before in-house development, end-to-end automation, observability from the outset. Monitoring, logging, backup and recovery are integral components.
We document service levels and operating routines together with your teams. KPIs make quality and throughput transparent. Release cycles are defined, changes are traceable, risks are manageable.

The result: a maintainable, scalable solution that controls costs and makes everyday work easier.

New systems rarely fail because of technology – they fail because of a lack of acceptance. Employees do not understand the benefits, training comes too late, managers are uncertain, and shadow processes emerge after go-live. The result: low usage and lost trust.

We work together with you to develop a complete change package that brings people, processes and systems together. The starting point is a clear change story that makes the benefits tangible. Role tasks are precisely defined, and responsibility is anchored in line and project management.

Training courses prepare each target group in a practical manner – using the real system and real cases. A communication plan answers who, what, why and when, addresses objections early on and creates transparency.

Governance ensures speed without loss of control. A change board prioritises according to impact, risk and effort. We set up user-centred concepts, clarify SoD rules and control release processes using tools such as Cloud ALM.
We make acceptance measurable: via KPIs such as usage rates, error rates and time saved. After 30, 60 and 90 days, we review results and close gaps.

You receive role descriptions, training materials, communication packages and a key performance indicator dashboard. We support managers and key users with consultation hours and floor walks.
The result: higher usage, fewer shadow processes and confident control of speed, quality and risks.

After going live, many companies struggle with unclear responsibilities, slow response times and a lack of transparency. Disruptions are dealt with reactively, causes are not eliminated sustainably, and performance problems only become apparent when users complain. The result: high operating costs, declining availability and frustrated teams.

We provide a run service that creates stability and delivers measurable benefits. Responsibilities, service times and escalation paths are clearly defined. Handoffs between departments, support and development work seamlessly.
We develop monitoring, logging and precise alerts that detect deviations at an early stage. Incident and problem management eliminates causes in a sustainable manner. SLOs, dashboards and proven runbooks guide you safely through disruptions and shorten recovery times.

Performance analyses reveal bottlenecks before users notice them.
Releases follow a predictable cycle with automated tests and traceable approvals. Rollback paths are tested. Security updates, authorisations and audits are integrated and audit-proof.

You receive a complete operating model with SLAs, metrics and clear responsibilities. A prioritised improvement stack ranks measures according to impact and effort. Quarterly value reviews examine benefits, correct assumptions and direct budget to effective projects. Tools such as Cloud ALM or ChaRM document the path from change to transport.
The result: higher availability, controlled costs and operations that continuously deliver value.
