Strategy Consulting
Strategic Planning
Good SAP solutions are not created in the system, but through a clean strategy. We support you in the planning, conception, and preparation of your SAP initiatives – ensuring decisions are sound, budgets are used wisely, and projects remain predictable.
Roadmap & Execution
Together, we clarify goals, framework conditions, and priorities: Which processes truly need improvement? Which standards should be used? Where do individual extensions make sense – and where do they only generate long-term effort? On this basis, we develop a structured target picture including procedural models, roadmaps, and concrete next steps.
SAP Excellence Starts With A Solid Strategy.

Strategy Consulting for SMEs: Practical & Implementation-Oriented
Small and medium-sized enterprises in particular face special challenges in SAP projects: limited resources, high dependence on daily business, and often no large project organizations. That's why strategy consulting for SMEs requires a different perspective than in a corporate environment.
We advise SMEs in a practical and implementation-oriented manner – focusing on quick impact, clear priorities, and solutions that can be realistically operated with your team.
// Our Services for Medium-Sized Businesses
Our strategy consulting for SMEs specifically includes:
Target Picture & Prioritization
What brings the greatest benefit – and what can reasonably wait? (incl. Quick Wins).
Fit-to-Standard instead of Over-Engineering
Standardization, process harmonization, and clear guardrails for extensions.
Feasible Roadmap
Realistic stage planning that fits your daily business and capacities.
Resource & Role Model
Who does what (internal/external), necessary skills, responsibilities, and decision paths.
Cost & Benefit Picture
Effort estimation, budget framework, license/operational aspects, and TCO considerations.
Risks & Dependencies
Interfaces, data, legacy systems, organizational risks – made visible early on.
Operation & Sustainability
Support/operating model, documentation, knowledge transfer, and handover to ongoing operations.
Result of Your Strategy Consulting
You receive a reliable basis for decision-making – typically consisting of a target picture, high-level design, roadmap, milestone and resource planning, effort/budget framework, as well as a risk and action plan. This way, you start the implementation with clarity instead of assumptions.
Best Practices: Proven Standards for Your Success
Our consulting and implementation are consistently based on established best practice standards. Depending on the objective, we combine SAP Activate (procedure & deliverables), PRINCE2 (project management), ITIL (service & operation), COBIT (governance & control), as well as relevant ISO standards (e.g., for quality and information security) as guardrails.
This creates solutions that not only fit functionally and technically but are also viable in the long term in terms of governance, operation, and compliance.
Our Approach
We apply standards pragmatically: as guardrails, not as bureaucracy – tailored to the size of your organization and the scope of the project. The goal is to increase project security through proven methods without losing agility and speed in implementation.
