Questions we often hear.
Do you only work on SAP analytics?+
No. Analytics is our heritage, but we also run dedicated ABAP & Fiori and SAP GRC practices, so we can support your data platform, your S/4HANA applications and your access governance together.
Should we move from BW to BW/4HANA or Datasphere?+
It depends on your current release, customisation and cloud strategy. We run roadmap workshops that compare the options against your landscape, timelines and budget, and many clients end up with a hybrid.
How do you staff an engagement?+
Every engagement is led by a senior consultant who stays involved from design to go-live, backed by a dedicated delivery and support team that scales with your needs.
Can you take over support of an existing system?+
Yes. We start with a structured knowledge transfer and health check, then move into a managed service with agreed response times and a flexible pool of enhancement hours.
Can you supply individual consultants?+
Yes. We provide BW, Datasphere, SAC, ABAP, Fiori and GRC consultants on short or long-term contracts to strengthen your own team.
