SAP Consulting from start to finish

On a par with SAP

Your SAP solution from a single source

In our "consult" service area, we advise and support you in all phases of an SAP project - from conception to implementation to operation of your SAP system. And it doesn't stop there: the further development and maintenance of SAP solutions are just as much part of our repertoire as license management.

We help companies with a focus on automotive, discrete manufacturing or with a strong logistics component to set up and operate end-to-end solutions - for a forward-looking IT strategy. We create the free space so that you can concentrate on your business.

SAP consulting with method

Since 1998, we have been advising global corporations and medium-sized businesses on the introduction, expansion and optimization of their SAP systems. During this time, we have acquired a wide range of experience and applied this to our daily work in reliable processes, methods and tools. For this reason, customers entrust us with their demanding and critical processes and systems in our projects. Among others, we work for Audi, BMW, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bosch, Brose, DHL, Ineos, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, nobilia, Porsche, Tchibo, thyssenkrupp and Volkswagen.

In addition, we support you with our SAP license management and system measurement to save resources and avoid excessive license costs. And in project management, our specialists use tools that help you achieve high-quality results while saving costs and meeting deadlines.
