From ERP sprawl to a balanced blueprint for architecture, contract and usage

SAP customers

The Problem

ERP architecture, SAP and Hyperscaler contracts, and the productive use of the ERP landscape all keep evolving. These changes often happen in parallel, at different speeds and rarely in a coordinated way. That's how ERP sprawl creeps in.

That also creates opportunities: upcoming SAP contract changes often have a direct impact on Hyperscaler usage. With solid, structured preparation, not only can sprawl be contained - results can improve overall. Without that preparation, three typical problem areas arise:

  • Experience gap: On the customer side, larger contract updates happen only every few years. On the vendor side, the accumulated experience from many deals per year flows in.
  • Suboptimal target architecture: With professional preparation and negotiation, strategic add-ons can often be secured free of charge or at a steep discount. Without that preparation, they often have to be bought later at a high price.
  • Strategic gaps: The biggest risk is often the hardest to measure. When architecture, contract setup and implementation for productive use are not managed holistically, the outcome fits the company strategy less well.

What We Do: Our Value, Your Gain

Independent support at eye level - from architecture through contract close and into productive use. We support our clients in their work with SAP, Hyperscalers and providers of complementary software and services.

  • We enable our clients to lead architecture and contract discussions at eye level with SAP and Hyperscalers. We take into account the sometimes conflicting strategies of the big providers, but consistently subordinate them to the client's strategy.
  • Even with the best possible use of SAP and Hyperscaler portfolios, gaps remain. We close those gaps with a curated portfolio of independent providers that SAP often will not show you.
  • Our compensation is completely independent of contract volumes at SAP and Hyperscalers and is aligned with the value our clients derive from our work.
"If SAP or your Hyperscaler has the better answer, we say so."
