💡🤔Did you know?

Many companies use less than 60% of their SAP system’s capabilities.

Optimization often delivers more ROI than a new implementation.

That’s why we focus on improvement before expansion.

The most successful companies don’t celebrate go-live.

They prepare for the 90 days after it. That’s where the real performance is built.

📅 Expectation:
“Go-live is just a technical switch.”

📉 Reality:
– Finance discovers a reporting gap
– Warehouse scanners behave differently
– Users forget passwords
– Management wants real-time dashboards on Day 2

Quick question for SAP leaders in DACH.

What's the single biggest pain point in your SAP landscape right now?

A) BTP migration — planning feels uncertain
B) Backlog keeps growing faster than the team can handle
C) Finding and keeping experienced SAP people
D) Something else entirely — tell me in comments

Asking because we're seeing wildly different priorities depending on industry and company size. Curious where most of you land.

One of our clients — pharma company in DACH — had a specific problem. Their PS module was set up years ago and nobody on the current team fully understood the configuration.

Every time they needed a new project structure, it took twice as long as it should. Cost allocations were manual. Reporting was unreliable.

They didn't need a big SAP transformation. They needed someone who'd worked deeply in PS to come in, audit the config, clean it up, and document it properly.

We did that over 6 weeks. Now their team runs it themselves.

That's the model we believe in: build capability, don't create dependency.

If your SAP setup has modules that "only one person understands" — that's a risk worth addressing before it becomes a crisis.

Talked to three SAP managers this month. All manufacturing. All dealing with the same thing.

ERP landscape implemented 8-12 years ago. Business has changed massively since then — new product lines, new markets, acquisitions. But the SAP config hasn't kept up.

Result: workarounds on top of workarounds. Processes that should take 3 clicks take 12. Reports that should be automated are still manual.

None of them are planning a greenfield re-implementation. Too expensive, too risky. What they need is targeted optimisation — someone who looks at their SD, MM, or PP setup and says "here are the 15 things that'll give you 80% of the improvement."

Not glamorous work. But it's the kind that makes SAP teams' lives noticeably better.

Anyone else seeing this pattern?

Question I get asked a lot: "Should we bring in SAP support before or after we start our BTP migration?"

Honest answer: before.

Every BTP migration I've seen go smoothly had one thing in common — the existing system was clean. Backlog under control. Documentation up to date. No "that one guy who knows how it works" dependencies.

Companies that start BTP migration on top of a messy legacy environment don't save time. They multiply complexity. Every undocumented customisation becomes a question mark during migration planning.

Clean the house before you renovate.

If you're working on a BTP timeline, happy to share the pre-migration checklist we use with clients.

💡Your SAP Project Is Not Late. It Was Misaligned

Unpopular opinion:

Most SAP projects are not delayed.

They are misaligned.

Misaligned between:
– Management expectations
– Operational reality
– IT capacity
– Consultant assumptions

The timeline suffers because the vision was never unified.

When leadership says:
“We need this done fast.”

But operations says:
“We’re already overloaded.”

And IT says:
“We don’t have clean data.”

The delay started long before the project plan.

The earlier the alignment happens, the faster ex*****on becomes.

Something I don't see enough people talking about.

A big chunk of the ABAP developer community in DACH is within 10 years of retirement. The next generation? They're learning Python, JavaScript, cloud-native. Not ABAP.

SAP's addressing this with BTP — moving toward modern dev paradigms. But the transition doesn't happen overnight, and companies running core processes on ABAP today still need people who understand those systems deeply.

Two problems here:

Short-term — finding experienced SAP consultants is already harder and more expensive than it was even two years ago.

Long-term — you need a bridge strategy. Maintain existing systems while building toward BTP.

If you're planning your SAP roadmap for the next 3-5 years, the people question deserves at least as much attention as the technology question.
