Many non-technical executives and managers are part of the evaluation, implementation and deployment of complex business software, such as SAP, but they lack the necessary level of knowledge and experience to make fully informed long-term business led technology decisions to ensure a successful investment return and outcome.

At Kew Consulting we work with our client’s senior executives and managers, and typically a client’s team will comprise the Finance Director / CFO, the Managing Director / CEO, the IT Director / CIO and other management team and line of business executives and senior managers. This experience has given us the insight to explain effectively the opportunities and risks associated with business software from business, financial and technology perspectives which is critical information and support to executives and senior managers with little information technology background. We find that our approach also helps with the alignment of business and IT.

It is not unusual for an organisation’s IT or ICT function to report to the finance function and we are able to explain and translate the benefits, costs and consequences of investing in complex business software into business and financial relevant terms to aid business case development and decision making from financial and risk perspectives.

SAP is one of the leading business software vendors for ERP and CRM requirements and we have developed focused advice, education and support for organisations of any size to help them with all aspects of their investments in SAP from initial evaluation through to benefits realisation. Our advice also covers existing and potential non-SAP software capabilities as well as SAP’s main competitors.

These are the areas where we provide independent, objective and expert assistance;
 

· Business software, application and technology strategy development.

· Requirements planning and vendor selection.

· Business case development and validation.

· Application and supporting technology deployment roadmaps.

· Software vendor and implementation partner contract negotiations.

· Critical success factors for successful deployment.

· Implementation project review and coaching.

· System upgrades, migrations, consolidation and standardisation.

· Continuous improvement and benefits realisation.

· Senior management education, training and coaching.

Kew Consulting has helped many organisations to understand, in simple business relevant and focused personal terms, the impact of investing in SAP’s products and technologies including SAP Business Suite, SAP ERP, SAP R/3, SAP NetWeaver, SAP’s Enterprise SOA, SAP Business All-in-One, SAP Business One and SAP’s new SAP Business ByDesign (‘A1S’).

We frequently work alongside existing and incumbent software and consulting firms to help end-user organisations validate their recommendations and decisions.
