The challenge
Setting up, maintaining, supporting and operating a complex system landscape requires a wide range of different skills and knowledge. Combining these in a single profile is a major challenge, which is why experts are usually required for the respective sub-areas. In addition to technical expertise, in-depth knowledge of the relevant applications is required not only for the initial system setup, but also for the import of business content, SAP notes, support packages or release upgrades. Only in this way application-specific preparatory and follow-up work can be carried out successfully and possible error situations can be handled with suitable solutions after appropriate analysis.
Thanks to our extensive experience in SAP implementation projects, we are familiar not only with SAP Basis, but above all with the actual application on the respective SAP system
We provide our customers with comprehensive support in all areas – planning, implementation, technical and application-specific preparatory and follow-up work, client copies, and installation of business content
Thanks to our own SAP system landscape, we gain valuable experience with the new software even before it is deployed at our clients' sites

The challenge
The standard software in use often does not fulfill all requirements from a functional, process-related or technical perspective. In many cases, existing legacy applications also need to be modernized and partially or fully integrated into the SAP environment. When implementing individual requirements using the latest technological possibilities, the consideration of internal development guidelines, performance aspects and seamless integration into SAP S/4HANA or a hybrid architecture, for example, play a central role. The development of user interfaces (UI) and user experience (UX) design are also often crucial issues. Experts with different skills such as ABAP development, modelling and development within the HANA database, as well as front-end development with FIORI, SAPUI5 and JavaScript are required to implement these requirements.

The challenge
In the past, IT architecture was closely aligned with corporate strategy. Today, however, IT is not just playing a supporting role – it is becoming a business success factor in its own right. Digitalization opens up a wide range of opportunities to further develop products, processes and organisational structures and thereby tap into new economic potential. As a result, IT architecture is increasingly becoming a decisive driver of strategic decisions. Banks and insurance companies must therefore scrutinize their IT strategies and system landscapes in ever shorter cycles and adapt them to changing requirements.

The challenge
The impending end of support for traditional SAP systems presents companies with the challenge of making their SAP landscapes fit for the future. The switch to S/4HANA offers several options for choosing a migration target:
- S/4HANA On-Premise
- S/4HANA Private Cloud
- S/4HANA Public Cloud
Various approaches are available for the migration. In the brownfield approach, the existing ERP system is converted directly into an S/4HANA system. In this process, familiar processes and data are transferred into the system, but legacy issues are also carried over. The ‘Greenfield’ approach involves building a new S/4HANA system from scratch in line with best practice; only the data that is actually required is carried over. ‘Selective Data Transition’ (the ‘Bluefield’ approach) is a hybrid approach in which only selected processes, customer codes and configurations are transferred.
Each of these decisions has different implications for in-house developments, interfaces, data models and applications. A lack of technical and business expertise can pose a challenge to the timetable, budget and day-to-day operations.
We have been using SAP BTP for our own system landscape since its introduction - PaPM Cloud, SAC and SAP Joule are not just buzzwords for us, but applied practice.
We know the challenges of a transformation to the cloud, offer customized solutions and support our customers during the transformation. RISE seems too big at first? Then a migration to the HEC Private Cloud may be an entry-level scenario that we can support
AI is increasingly being integrated into SAP applications, but this also raises questions, and not just from an infrastructure perspective. We use Joule in our system landscape and test the AI services and agents, also against what is available on the market.
