Challenge

Where they stood

The landscape mixed SAP and non-SAP systems, plants and partners. The SAP-native option looked obvious to some and dangerous to others, and the discussion had stalled for months.

Approach

What we did

A systematic evaluation of SAP Integration Suite against shortlisted alternatives on the group’s real integration scenarios: fit, total cost, skills, operability and lock-in, each scored transparently.

Outcome

What changed

A clear, documented recommendation with the conditions under which it holds, accepted by both IT and the plants. The group moved from debate to a platform roadmap.
