The Issue

A client once stated succinctly, “For us, SAP is the main software program we use to run our company. And it has to run optimally. Needs-based functions, good performance, zero errors, low-cost maintenance, no down-times, cost-effective maintenance, predictable system behavior, and plannable, acceptable costs.”

We Bring You Closer to Your Goal

We do this by providing an integrated method for optimizing SAP operations and SAP use in order to implement an integrated, controllable and good software system.

The method is based on a few principles, which we have backed up with a lot of methodical knowledge and software:

• Principle 1: Use. The purpose of SAP systems is that users will use it. Only when this use has been really understood can we optimize it so that it will achieve the desired results. That’s why we measure how users use the system completely and in great detail, using software.

• Principle 2: Costs. A lot is possible, but the bottom line has to add up. So we always look at desirable and achievable quality, cost and performance structures, feasibility and efficiency.

• Principle 3: Source. Our know-how is fed from the world’s biggest source of know-how – the SAP installed base. Some two million man-years have been spent around the world learning, installing, operating, and optimizing SAP. This source is based on measurements, cost calculations, and the systematic preparation of data, and you can access that source of information.
