Do you implement SAP or oversee it?

Both, depending on the engagement. We provide advisory, design and assurance capability, and can lead workstreams. Where we assure an integrator's work, we keep those roles separate.

What causes SAP programmes to fail?

Almost always data quality, unmanaged customisation and testing compressed to meet a date. All three are visible months before go-live if someone is looking honestly.

As an independent advisor, whose side are you on?

The client's. We do not sell licences or earn margin on the size of the build, so our advice on scope, customisation and readiness is not shaped by what would be commercially convenient for an integrator.

How does a sap consulting & implementation engagement start?

With a short discovery conversation and a written view of scope, risk and the decisions to be made. That view is useful to you whether or not the work continues.

How is a sap consulting & implementation engagement priced?

Scope and, where relevant, rules of engagement are agreed in writing before any work begins, and the engagement is a fixed fee for that scope or phased with a cost envelope per phase — so you know the cost and the boundaries up front. Larger pieces of work are broken into phases with findings delivered early rather than a single invoice at the end.

SAP Consulting & Implementation

We provide independent SAP consulting across the programme lifecycle, from scoping and design decisions through delivery governance to go-live readiness. As an independent advisor rather than a reseller or integrator, our interest is in the quality of the outcome, not the size of the build, so we challenge customisation that is not justified and surface problems while they are still cheap to fix. We set up governance and reporting that show leadership real progress against defined criteria rather than a status that stays green until the date slips. The reason this matters is simple: most SAP programmes fail for reasons that were visible months earlier to anyone looking honestly.

In short

SAP consulting and implementation covers the decisions, design and delivery discipline that determine whether an SAP programme succeeds. It is the work of turning a business case into a working system without the scope, cost and timeline drifting quietly out of control.

What we do

The work inside sap consulting & implementation.

Scope and design decisions

We establish what is genuinely in scope, what standard process will cover, and where a deviation is justified by a real business requirement rather than habit. Each decision is recorded with its rationale, so later in the programme nobody relitigates a choice or discovers a commitment that was never agreed.

Programme governance

We set up the decision forums, RAID discipline and reporting cadence that let a programme steer itself rather than drift. The aim is reporting that surfaces problems early and forces a decision, instead of a dashboard that stays green while risks accumulate out of sight.

Integrator oversight

We hold your system integrator to the design quality, testing evidence and delivery commitments in the contract, from the client's side of the table. Because we are independent of the integrator, we can question optimistic status and insufficient evidence without a conflict of interest, which keeps delivery honest.

Readiness assessment

We assess data, testing, training and cutover readiness against defined, measurable criteria before go-live rather than relying on a confidence vote. Where the evidence is not there we say so plainly, giving leadership a sound basis to proceed, defer or add mitigation.

Nobody independent is checking the integrator's work

How an engagement runs

Discover, assess, design, deliver.

01
Discover
Understand the business drivers, decision rights, existing systems, and what the programme is genuinely expected to change. We separate the outcomes that justify the investment from the features that merely sound desirable, so the programme has a clear purpose to steer by.
02
Assess
Review process, data, integration, controls, governance, and change readiness against the plan. We report where the plan is sound and where it rests on assumptions that will not survive contact with delivery.
03
Design
Set out the target processes, control requirements, data approach, integration model, and adoption plan. Each is documented well enough for a system integrator to build to and for you to hold them to it.
04
Deliver
Support the programme through configuration, testing, cutover, and stabilisation with independent oversight. We keep the line on scope, data readiness, and controls while the integrator delivers, and flag drift while it is still correctable.

Where we work

Delhi, India — and wherever the work is.

Fidova provides SAP consulting from Delhi, India, and supports multi-country programmes internationally, including entities with different statutory, tax, and reporting requirements across regions.

Engagements run in English, are scheduled around your time zone, and can be delivered remotely end to end, with on-site time planned where a phase genuinely benefits from being in the room.

SAP S/4HANA Implementation

S/4HANA implementation delivers SAP's current ERP suite with process design, data and adoption planned alongside the technical build. It is as much a business redesign as a technology project, and treating it only as the latter is the most common way it goes wrong.

SAP S/4HANA Migration

S/4HANA migration converts an existing SAP system to S/4HANA, handling custom code, data and simplification items. It carries the history of the current system forward, which makes early, honest analysis of that history the difference between a predictable conversion and an abandoned one.

SAP ECC Support & Modernization

ECC support and modernisation keeps existing SAP ECC systems stable and improves them while a future path is decided. It treats ECC as a platform still worth running well, not merely as something to be endured until migration.
