project and programme recovery

Most technology implementations have their ups and downs. So it’s always useful to be able to get a discrete, impartial perspective as soon as you think things are not going to plan. We can review areas like your approach to governance, roles and responsibilities, budget and spend and help you get back on track. Managing third-parties and holding them to account can be a real challenge and we definitely help here. We can also undertake more detailed solution reviews to ensure what you are building is fit for purpose.

proof of value exercises

Seeing is believing. So vbefore making a significant investment in new technology, we usually advise our clients to carry out a Proof of Value exercise (also referred to as Proof of Concept). In addition to confirming that the application delivers on its promises, these exercises are a great opportunity to start understanding the potential business and organisational impact of the new technology or solution. We specialise in running short, focused exercises that put the technology through its paces whilst creating business engagement.

quality assurance

Having an external advisor involved right from the business case through vendor selection, project setup, implementation and support transition can be highly beneficial. Potential challenges will be identified and resolved earlier. Our approach is collaborative and we help bring everybody together to focus on achieving the result you expect. We would typically attend your steering committee or project board meetings and provide impartial, objective advice.

sap licensing

SAP licensing can be incredibly confusing. Some products are priced based on user numbers. Others based on metrics such as your revenue or numbers of transactions. We can help you navigate this and make sure you get the best deal possible.

Our team also has experience of helping you through license audits and compliance checks. These have become a significant and growing revenue stream for SAP and lack of understanding is not an excuse unfortunately.

product selection

Navigating the SAP portfolio can be daunting, especially for newcomers. We can help you understand the SAP suite and make sure you are aware of all of your options - not just the ones that may have been positioned by the SAP sales team. As SAP focus more on more on cloud solutions, it is very important for you to understand your roadmap options and have a transition strategy that doesn’t leave you with a hybrid estate for ever.
