Home/Engagements

The shapes our projects usually take

Rather than a gallery of logos, here is what our engagements actually look like — typical scope, realistic duration, what you receive, and what tends to change as a result. Find the one closest to your situation.

Engagement types

Typically 2–4 weeks

Interface build or rebuild

A single inbound or outbound interface between SAP and another system — warehouse, MES, bank, CRM or e-commerce. Technical design, build, AIF monitoring configuration, error handling and reprocessing logic, then UAT and cutover.

What changes: a manual data transfer becomes automatic, and failures surface as alerts rather than as a discovery weeks later.

Typically 2–4 weeks

Performance investigation

A job, report or interface that used to finish and now does not. Runtime analysis and SQL trace on the real system, a documented diagnosis, then remediation — usually database access restructuring, parallelisation, or fixing a silent failure nobody had noticed.

What changes: processing returns inside its window, and you learn where the time was actually going before spending on infrastructure.

Typically 3–6 weeks

Custom code analysis

A documented inventory of every custom object in your SAP system using SAP Readiness Check, ABAP Test Cockpit and usage statistics: what it does, whether it still runs, whether it survives an S/4HANA conversion.

What changes: the brownfield-versus-greenfield argument becomes a calculation instead of an opinion, and you own a document you can take to three firms for comparable quotes.

Typically 6–12 weeks

ABAP development workstream

A defined set of custom programs, enhancements, reports or Fiori-ready outputs, delivered in two-week increments inside your existing transport landscape and change control, with technical specifications written for whoever inherits them.

What changes: a backlog that has been waiting on capacity gets cleared, documented, and handed back to you in full.

Typically 4–8 months

Custom platform build

An internal business system built around your workflow — job management, inventory, scheduling, approvals, reporting — with integrations to the systems you already run. Architecture, then two-week increments, then handover with source code and deployment pipeline.

What changes: the spreadsheet-and-email patchwork gets replaced by something with permissions, audit trails and reporting.

Ongoing, monthly

AMS support agreement

Application management with response times defined by severity: incident resolution, small enhancement delivery, transport management, proactive interface monitoring and a monthly report on system health and performance trends.

What changes: capacity scales up during a program and back down afterwards, without carrying a permanent hire.

On client names

Why there are no logos on this page

Most of our work sits inside client SAP environments under confidentiality terms, and we do not publish client names or logos without written permission. Several consultancies display logos they have no relationship with; we would rather show you the shape of the work and let you judge whether we understand your problem.

If you want references before committing, ask on the discovery call. We will arrange a conversation with a client working on something comparable, once they have agreed to it.
