Discover and Design
Plan your SAP journey with clear goals, a realistic roadmap and a solution design before a single line is built.
The right SAP plan saves more money than any clever build
Most SAP projects that go over budget went wrong long before the build started. Goals were vague, the scope kept growing, and nobody agreed which processes should change and which should stay.
The Discover and Design stage fixes that. Following SAP Activate, we look at your business, your current systems and your data, agree on what success looks like, and turn it into a roadmap, a business case and a solution design your team and your board can trust.
Data ETL runs these workshops with your process owners, not around them. You leave with decisions, not a thick document: which SAP products you need, how to move there, what it will cost, and what to do first.
