*** Throwback Thursday: The risks of choosing the cheapest SAP implementation partner *** A decade ago, a senior IT executive from a prominent German automotive OEM shared a valuable insight with me: "In every SAP implementation RfP, there tends to be at least one applicant who fails to grasp the scope and intricacies of the project. Odds are that particular applicant happens to be the one with the cheapest offer." This observation highlights a common occurrence in the world of SAP implementations. When a potential implementation partner fails to fully understand the complexity and requirements of the task at hand, they may underestimate the effort, leading to an overly optimistic and potentially unrealistic pricing strategy. Such a scenario should raise a cautionary flag for organizations seeking an SAP implementation partner. While the allure of a low-cost option may initially seem appealing, it's crucial to recognize the potential risks involved. Underestimating the scope and lacking a comprehensive understanding of the project can result in cost overruns, project delays, and a compromised outcome that falls short of meeting the organization's objectives. Therefore, when evaluating potential partners for an SAP implementation, it's essential to consider factors beyond price alone. Assessing the partner's expertise, track record, understanding of the project scope, and alignment with your organization's goals are equally important. By doing so, you can make a more informed decision that sets the stage for a successful SAP implementation journey. #sap #sappartner

First time meeting my leadership team for application development, automation, and integration topics around #SAPBTP in Frankfurt to deep dive into our strategic priorities in this area. ...and perfect timing after collecting a lot of customer feedback in the US.   It was exciting for me to get more insights into the many innovative topics the teams are working on in this area, like #SAPBuild as the single solution for developers to easily mix and match low-code and pro-code tooling, including #ABAP, to develop all SAP extensions, and our growing portfolio in the area of enterprise automation with high value #AI scenarios. …and we even saved a bird that got trapped ~ Djay Chaudhary😉   It’s so inspiring to see how we bring integrated and AI-powered app development and automation solutions to life that help our customers tailor #SaaS apps to their specific business needs. Looking forward to the months ahead with this great team. Thomas Volmering Andrea Flügel Andreas Schlosser Achim Kraiss Amjad A.
