Our deepest work
SAP Data Management
Archiving, DVM, ILM, decommissioning and carve-outs. Every uncontrolled terabyte shows up somewhere on a bill, and most landscapes carry far more data than they need.

Enterprise SAP delivery
Recognize takes mid-market and enterprise teams from ECC to S/4HANA, keeps the cost of SAP data under control, and runs the landscape long after go-live.
Senior on the critical path
The people in the room at the pitch are the people on the build.
A number before you commit
Assessment first. You get a costed business case and a timeline.
Less data to move
We reduce the volume before the migration, not after it.
ECC mainstream maintenance ends 31 December 2027. A full migration takes 18 to 36 months, so an assessment started after mid-2026 leaves very little room to make a considered decision.
Where to startWhy teams come to us
A mid-sized manufacturer is rarely the most important account on a Tier-1 partner’s list. The pitch carries senior names, the build arrives with whoever was free, and by month four the person who understands your landscape has moved to a larger client.
No adjacent practices competing for the same people, and no learning your industry on your budget.
We map the landscape, the options and the cost of each path, so the decision gets made on numbers.
Legacy systems retired, duplicate licensing removed, and a team that is still on the account a year later.
We want SAP to feel like something a company can work with, rather than something it has to survive.

What we do
From the first assessment through to the systems you finally switch off. Each one is delivered by people who have done it before on estates the size of yours.

Learn moreWhere you are today
01
A greenfield build from day one, covering process mapping, system design, configuration, testing, training and go-live support.
Start with implementation02
The system works, but it costs more than it should and nobody is quite sure why. Usually this starts with the data and the licence position.
Look at the cost first03
A structured migration with the data reduced first, the downtime window planned, and a cleaner core on the other side.
Plan the migrationHow we work
Four stages, in this order, every time. The assessment comes first because a decision made without a number is a guess.
Stage one
We map your landscape, your data volume and a hard business case. You get a number and a timeline before you commit to anything.
Stage two
Target architecture, scope and migration approach, with data reduction planned in from the first day rather than bolted on later.
Stage three
We build, migrate, test and go live, with senior consultants sitting on the parts of the project where things actually go wrong.
Stage four
Legacy systems decommissioned, duplicate licensing retired, and the landscape run so it keeps getting leaner to operate.
What working with us is like
You know who is on the project before you sign, and the same names appear in the steering committee six months later.
HANA licensing steps up in whole increments, so we size the data before the migration rather than discovering the bill afterwards.
Scope agreed at design, downtime planned around your calendar, and a go-live date we are willing to be measured against.
Advisory, build, integration, licensing and managed services under one team, so nothing falls into a gap between vendors.
Insights
Eighteen months of runway sounds generous until you work backwards from a go-live.
Licensing steps up in whole increments, and data growth is what pushes you over the line.
Every terabyte you leave behind is infrastructure, subscription and downtime you do not pay for.
Retention is a compliance obligation and a cost lever at the same time. Most teams treat it as neither.
Tell us what you are running and what is worrying you. We will come back with the options, what each one costs, and how long it takes. No obligation to go further.
