SAP Advisory Services
Commercially independent advice on SAP strategy, roadmaps and business cases. We help you make informed decisions before committing budget and resources.
The decisions that shape everything
SAP programmes succeed or fail on decisions made before a single system is configured. The right strategy prevents years of costly course-correction.
Discovery provides commercially independent advisory — strategy, roadmaps, business cases and vendor evaluation. For organisations facing SAP choices, we bring clarity without the bias. Which products? Which commercial model? Which partner? What sequence? What investment?
Independent advice. Informed decisions.
What we do in SAP advisory
From strategy to assurance, we support your SAP decision-making.
Strategy Development
Define your SAP direction. Which products, which deployment models, which priorities. Aligned to business strategy, not technology preference.
Roadmap Planning
Sequence your SAP initiatives. What comes first, what depends on what, what can run in parallel. Practical timelines based on real constraints.
Business Case Development
Build investment cases that stakeholders trust. Costs, benefits, risks and alternatives. Board-ready, not vendor slide decks.
Programme Assurance
Independent review of in-flight SAP programmes. Are they on track? Are risks being managed? Is the solution fit for purpose?

Frequently Asked Questions
What are SAP advisory services?
SAP advisory services give you commercially independent advice on SAP strategy, roadmaps and business cases. You can make informed decisions before committing budget and resources. Our advice covers strategy, roadmap planning, business cases and program assurance.
What does commercially independent mean?
We have no incentive to push particular SAP products or commercial models. Our job is to help you understand your options. Our advice serves your interests, not a vendor’s.
Can you help us choose between RISE and GROW?
Yes. RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP are two of SAP’s commercial models for moving to the cloud. Our RISE vs GROW Evaluation compares them independently for your situation.
How do we know if we’re ready to move from ECC to S/4HANA?
Our S/4HANA Readiness Assessment reviews where you are today and sets out your migration options. It is designed for organisations still running SAP ECC, SAP’s previous core business system (ERP).
Can you review an SAP program that’s already under way?
Yes. Our Program Health Check is an independent review of an SAP program already in progress. It checks whether the program is on track and whether risks are being managed. It also tests whether the solution is fit for purpose. You receive a clear risk assessment.
