Specialists, not a software supermarket
DivineSoft is an independent consultancy in Brisbane. We do a small number of things at a genuinely high standard, and we are direct about the things we do not do.
Why we exist
Enterprise capability without the enterprise apparatus
DivineSoft started from a pattern we kept seeing inside Australian businesses running SAP. The technical work required was rarely enormous — an interface that needed rebuilding, a custom program that had grown unmaintainable, a performance problem nobody had properly diagnosed. But the only firms with the depth to do it properly were structured for programs ten times the size.
So the work either did not happen, or it was handed to whoever was cheapest with nobody owning the outcome, and came back needing to be done again. Neither result is good for a business whose finance and supply chain run on that system.
We built the thing that was missing: an Australian-registered consultancy with real ABAP depth, small enough to take on a two-week engagement, disciplined enough to document it properly, and structured so a named person in Brisbane is accountable for the result — whoever on the team does the work.
Principles
How we actually operate
These are not values on a wall. Each one is a commitment you can hold us to, and each one costs us something.
You own everything
Source code, repositories, technical documentation and runbooks are yours at handover, unconditionally, whether or not you keep working with us. Vendor lock-in is a way of retaining clients who would otherwise leave, and we would rather retain the ones who want to stay.
We will talk you out of work
If your problem is a configuration change, a licence you already own, or a process decision rather than a technical one, we will tell you on the first call. Selling an unnecessary project is a good quarter and a bad decade.
The builder is in the room
No account manager relaying requirements to a team you have never met. The consultant who scopes your engagement is the consultant who writes the code, attends the stand-ups and joins the go-live call at 6am.
Fixed scope before fixed price
We do not quote before we understand the system. Scoping is a paid, contained piece of work that produces a technical design document you own outright — and which you are free to take to another firm to build.
Documentation is a deliverable
Undocumented custom code is a liability disguised as an asset, and SAP environments accumulate them for decades. Every engagement includes technical specifications written for the person who inherits it, not for us.
We say the uncomfortable thing early
If a deadline is unrealistic, a data model is wrong, or a requirement will cause problems in eighteen months, you hear it while it is still cheap to change. Comfortable silence is the most expensive thing a consultant sells.
The team
Who you will actually be working with
Small and senior at the front, with a wider delivery team behind it across our offices.
You meet your technical lead
The person who scopes your engagement is on the first call, and stays accountable for it through delivery. You are assessing the individual who will own the outcome, not a salesperson describing one.
Everyone is named
Where a project draws on the wider team, the proposal states who is involved and what they are doing. You will never find out after signing that the person you assessed is not the person building it.
No account-manager layer
You talk to the people writing the code. Requirements are not relayed through someone who cannot answer a technical question, and nothing is lost translating between the conversation and the build.
Questions
About the business
How big is the team?
Small and senior at the front, with a wider delivery team behind it across our offices. The person who scopes your project stays accountable for it. When a project needs more capacity we draw on our own team rather than subcontracting to strangers, and the proposal names who is involved.
Are you an SAP partner?
We are an independent consultancy. That means we have no licence quota to hit and no incentive to recommend a module you do not need. Our ABAP and S/4HANA experience comes from delivery work inside Australian enterprise environments, not from a reseller agreement.
What does DivineSoft not do?
We do not do SAP functional configuration for modules outside our experience, we do not do paid advertising management, and we do not take on projects where we think another firm would serve you better. We will say so on the first call rather than three weeks into a scoping engagement.

Come and find out whether we are a fit.
The first call is a conversation, not a pitch. If we are not the right firm for your problem, we will usually know within twenty minutes and say so.
