Ariba roadmap, BTP architecture review, AI readiness, and P2P redesign — senior-led advisory that produces a concrete deliverable, not a slide deck of generic recommendations.
Advisory from a large SAP consultancy typically means a team of consultants producing a framework-heavy report that could apply to any organisation. Our advisory is specific to your Ariba configuration, your BTP landscape, and your procurement process — because we look at what you actually have, not what a generic assessment template says you should have.
Every advisory engagement produces a concrete deliverable: a roadmap with prioritised initiatives, an architecture diagram with specific recommendations, or an assessment report with actionable findings. Not a presentation of best practices you already know.
Advisory is delivered by the same senior consultants who would implement the recommendations. There is no handoff from advisory to delivery team — no context loss, no re-discovery of your landscape.
We review your actual Ariba configuration and BTP setup — recommendations are specific to what you have.
Every advisory ends with a written roadmap, architecture review, or assessment — not a verbal debrief.
The same consultant who advises can implement — no knowledge transfer, no context loss.
Assessment of your current Ariba deployment against your procurement strategy — identifying module gaps, integration improvements, and a phased roadmap for capability expansion.
Review of your current integration landscape — PI/PO, direct RFCs, custom middleware — and a recommended BTP target architecture with migration priorities.
Evaluation of your SAP and Ariba landscape for AI automation opportunities — identifying the highest-value processes for 3-click agent deployment.
Analysis of your current procure-to-pay process — mapping manual steps, exception volumes, and automation gaps — with a redesigned process and implementation roadmap.
Structured assessment of your existing Ariba deployment — configuration quality, integration stability, catalog coverage, and supplier adoption — with prioritised recommendations.
Assessment of your ECC landscape and Ariba integration architecture against S/4HANA migration requirements — identifying integration rework, BTP alignment, and migration sequencing.
Advisory engagements produce a written assessment and recommendations document — typically a roadmap, architecture diagram, and prioritised action plan. The format depends on the engagement type but every advisory produces a concrete deliverable.
Most advisory engagements run 2–4 weeks for focused assessments (e.g., Ariba health check, AI readiness). Broader transformation advisory (P2P redesign, BTP architecture) typically runs 4–8 weeks.
Advisory is independent of implementation — but most clients follow advisory with a project delivery engagement to implement the recommendations. We are well-positioned to do this since we already understand your landscape from the advisory.
Advisory is a paid, structured engagement that produces a formal deliverable. A pre-sales discovery call is a free, brief conversation about your requirements. Advisory is appropriate when you need a defensible recommendation before committing to an implementation programme.
Yes. We provide independent reviews of existing Ariba implementations, BTP integration architecture, and P2P configurations — identifying issues, gaps, and improvement opportunities without bias towards the original implementer.
Typically: access to your SAP and Ariba environments for review, key stakeholder interviews (procurement lead, IT architect, AP manager), and any existing process documentation or integration diagrams. We work with what you have.
