SAP Consulting
Renvric's SAP consulting turns an uncertain direction into a decision you can defend: what to move to S/4HANA, what to leave, which processes stay standard, where BTP belongs and what the programme should cost to run. You receive written findings, a fit-gap and a sequenced roadmap, not a slide deck of generalities.
Start your project
What an SAP consulting engagement is for
Consulting is the right starting point when a decision is large and still open. Typical triggers are an older SAP ERP release approaching a vendor maintenance deadline, an acquisition that adds a second ERP, a finance transformation, or a board asking whether the programme is worth its cost. The output is a recommendation with reasons, not a delivery commitment, so you can take it to any implementation team, including your own.
Questions the work answers
- Should we convert the existing system, start fresh with a new implementation, or move selected entities and data in stages?
- Which of our custom developments still earn their keep, and which can be replaced by standard functionality or moved to BTP?
- What does the target architecture look like, including Fiori, integration and reporting?
- Which data is worth migrating, and what quality level is needed before a load rehearsal makes sense?
- What organisational capacity do we need on our side to run the programme and, afterwards, the platform?
- How should risks, decisions and change be governed across business and IT?
How the assessment runs
Current-state review
Interviews and system analysis covering processes, organisational structure, custom code, interfaces, data volumes and support history.
Readiness analysis
Use of the vendor's own readiness and code analysis tooling where it applies, with results interpreted rather than simply handed over.
Fit-gap workshops
Process owners walk through standard SAP behaviour against their real scenarios. Each gap is classified: adopt standard, configure, extend on BTP, or build in ABAP.
Roadmap and business case
Sequenced options with dependencies, effort ranges, risks and the decisions that need an owner.
Share the outcome you need and Renvric will recommend the smallest useful next step.
Fit-gap done honestly
The most useful fit-gap sessions are the uncomfortable ones. Consider a manufacturer whose pricing logic lives in a heavily modified order screen. A weak assessment records it as a gap and moves on. A strong one asks what commercial rule the code enforces, whether standard condition techniques can express it, and what happens at the next upgrade if the code stays. Every gap leaves the session with a written disposition and a named business owner.
Architecture, editions and licensing guidance
Consulting also covers where capability should sit: in the S/4HANA core, in side-by-side BTP applications, or in surrounding systems. The aim is a clean core, meaning standard processes in the ERP and extensions that use released interfaces. Renvric can explain how deployment options and licence metrics tend to influence cost, and what questions to take to the vendor. Prices, dates and contract terms must be confirmed with the vendor directly.
What you receive
- A written current-state assessment with the evidence behind each finding.
- A fit-gap register with disposition, owner and effort category for every gap.
- A target architecture showing the core, extensions, integrations and data flows.
- A phased roadmap with entry and exit criteria for each phase.
- A risk and assumptions log, plus a draft governance model with named decision rights.
Common questions
What does SAP consulting include?
It includes reviewing your current landscape, running fit-gap workshops, recommending a migration path and target architecture, and producing a roadmap with risks and governance. The work is time-boxed with defined deliverables, and stops at decisions unless you ask Renvric to continue into delivery.
How do you assess whether SAP fits our needs?
Renvric maps your key processes to standard SAP behaviour and records where you would need configuration, extension or custom code. It also weighs administration effort, integration complexity and ownership cost. If a lighter platform serves better, the written recommendation says so.
What do we receive at the end of a SAP consulting engagement?
You receive a current-state assessment, a fit-gap register, a target architecture, a phased roadmap, a risk and assumptions log and a draft governance model. These are working documents that your own team or another implementation partner can pick up without starting again.
What affects the cost of SAP consulting?
Main drivers are the number of business areas and legal entities in scope, how much custom code and how many interfaces exist, data quality, the number of workshops needed and how quickly stakeholders can attend. A short scoping call usually allows a firm proposal for a defined assessment.
Can consulting lead into implementation?
Yes, and the deliverables are designed for that. The roadmap and fit-gap register become the scope baseline for implementation. You are under no obligation to continue with Renvric, and the same documents can be used to tender the work.
More services to explore
Findings are written so another team can act on them. If you choose to continue with Renvric, the roadmap becomes the basis for a project-based implementation; if not, you keep the documents. Consulting sits alongside SAP services and the wider enterprise platform services.
