What we deliver
Capabilities,one by one
Business case development
Benefit modelling, cost estimation and ROI calculation — with sensitivity analysis so leadership can test their assumptions.
Organisational impact
Change-impact assessment across teams, roles and skills so the transformation reaches the people who have to live with it.
Process change
Business-process redesign aligned to SAP best practice, with gaps documented and either closed or accepted deliberately.
Vendor change
Partner and vendor realignment to match the new target operating model — SAP, hyperscaler, SI and ISV all on the same page.
Innovation counselling
A standing advisory relationship that keeps your transformation in sync with SAP's roadmap, not just the current project.
The hub model
Most SI advisory work is partner-first — the recommendation steers toward the services the partner has to sell. The Innovation Hub pattern separates advisory from delivery deliberately: the Hub members sit outside the delivery P&L, so the roadmap they build for you reflects your best interests, not next quarter’s utilisation target.
FAQ
Common questions
Who sits on the Innovation Hub?
A rotating group of our senior SAP consultants, functional architects and the Customer Success Manager — tailored to the client's industry and transformation stage.
Is this a one-off engagement or ongoing?
Both patterns work. Some clients buy a focused 6–8 week sprint; others carry the Hub as a quarterly advisory layer across the full programme.
Do you build business cases for SAP S/4HANA, RISE or GROW?
Yes. A typical engagement starts there: current-state baseline, target-state architecture, 3- to 5-year value model, risk register, and a go/no-go recommendation defensible in board review. We don't sell the recommendation after — the Hub sits outside delivery P&L.
How does the Hub differ from SAP's own advisory service?
SAP Advisory is excellent at the SAP-native view. The APx Innovation Hub adds the delivery lens — what breaks when the pretty architecture meets your actual landscape, data quality, change-management reality and timeline constraints.
