SAP Consulting Services for Business

As SAP is so integral to different operations, an SAP change is not only about changing or upgrading software. That’s why organizations benefit from guidance of SAP consulting services before, during, and after they make a change in their SAP landscape.

If a business leader is not strategic about it, a SAP change can result in missed requirements, integrations that fall apart under load, upgrades that affect other business processes, and risks that linger even after the go-live. The documented SAP test-management and consulting expertise of BrandCrock helps the business leaders to complete the SAP change and manage any business risks arising from it.

What are SAP Consulting Services?

When an organization is making changes to their SAP landscape, SAP consulting services give them the guidance to make sound decisions before, during, and after the change.

A SAP consultant looks at what business workflows are dependent upon the SAP, the requirements that are there behind a proposed SAP change, and whether the organization’s teams and systems are ready for the change.

The strategic guidance of SAP consulting services helps businesses avoid the risks of weak requirements, unvalidated configurations, and nasty surprises in the end product.

Our Approach to SAP Consulting Projects

For its SAP consulting services, BrandCrock follows a consistent logic that can be adapted to meet the scale and complexity of different organizations.

Understanding the SAP Change

Our first step is to understand what is changing in the organization’s SAP landscape and why. Equally importantly, we want to know what outcome the business expects from the change.

We look at SAP modules involved, connected systems, timelines, and known concerns.

Process and Risk Mapping

BrandCrock looks at the business processes that the SAP change will affect and rank the risk areas.

Requirement Clarification

BrandCrock's SAP consulting services work with the different stakeholders to identify specific requirements that can be agreed upon and verified.

Plan for validation

We use our SAP test-management expertise to define the scope, roles, environments, entry and exit criteria, and reporting for the verification of the SAP change.

Support Readiness

BrandCrock helps you assess whether the testing evidence supports your go-live decisions instead of making decisions because of schedule pressure.

Risks become visible earlier when they can be addressed without affecting the budget and the original delivery schedule.
The strategic support of SAP consulting services helps the teams to protect day-to-day operations and minimize disruptions to business.
Leaders get information not only about progress but also about evidence about readiness. So, they can make better-informed decisions.
SAP consulting services give a shared view to the different teams involved, like business, IT, and delivery teams. Stronger alignment among different teams ensures smoother change management.
As lessons from one release improve the next time, over time the organizations can build a reliable process for their SAP changes.

SAP Testing as Part of the Consulting Lifecycle

One of the most common mistakes that the organizations make is treating SAP testing as a final phase activity. Instead, if they factor in SAP testing considerations at all stages, it actually helps them make better decisions.

When SAP testing is part of every step, requirements are written with more precision. The testing scope can be sized sensibly. And integration testing need not be improvised on the spot.

SAP testing solutions generate the evidence. SAP consulting sets the direction and readiness of the testing. When they are treated as part of the same lifecycle, they help the organizations cover all the bases and avoid any surprise risks later on.
