ERP transformation is where PE value is won or lost. The pitfalls almost never come from the technology — they come from timing, governance, readiness, and the gap between investment pace and delivery reality.
Pre-Investment
Assess ERP risk before you commit capital. We give PE Operating Partners and CFOs the independent view they need before the SI contract is signed.
Programme delivery & recovery
Lead or recover in-flight programmes. We are the senior client-side voice that neither the SI nor the internal team can supply — accountable to the outcome, not the relationship.
PE portfolio advisory
Fund-level ERP assurance. We work with PE Operating Partners across multiple portfolio companies to surface risk early and protect the value plan.
50%
Roughly 35,000 SAP ECC customers, of which only around 39% had bought an S/4 transition licence by end-2024 — and a licence is intent, not a migration. More than 13,000 are projected to still be on ECC in 2030.
The window is closing
SAP ECC mainstream support ends December 2027. Migrations take 18-36 months. SI capacity is tightening. The companies that start now will be positioned for the AI-driven enterprise. Those that wait will compound their disadvantage — and the gap will show up at exit.
