SAP transformations can be complex, risky and often present unexpected challenges for organisations. A lack of strategy, limited resources, dependence on implementation partners and unclear architecture decisions often lead to delays and risks.

We know the challenges of SAP projects very well and are therefore able to manage projects in a targeted manner and accompany them successfully. With proven methods, in-depth expertise and a practice-orientated approach, we bring structure and strategy to the chaos and keep your back free.

The biggest challenges in SAP projects 

High demands on the strategy

The introduction of new SAP technologies requires a clear strategic orientation to optimally support business processes and secure investments in the long term.

 

Sophisticated architecture & realisation

A scalable and integrable SAP architecture is essential for a successful implementation, which must be ensured through efficient project management, thorough testing and high user acceptance.

 

Complexity of new technologies

The rapid development of SAP technologies places high demands on adaptability, integration and continuous innovation management.

Dependence on partners

Without neutral quality assurance, there is a lack of controls and transparency – companies run the risk of accepting poor solutions.

 

Lack of change management

Newly introduced technical solutions often fail in companies due to a lack of acceptance on the part of employees – without change management and appropriate support for the transformation, the hoped-for change cannot materialise.

 

Lack of resources

Capacity bottlenecks and a shortage of qualified specialists make it difficult to implement new SAP technologies and lead to longer project runtimes and therefore higher costs.
