Understanding SAP Consultant Support at Surety Systems
Whether you need expert guidance building a well-defined plan for your SAP implementation project, consulting expertise in a specific technical or functional area of your software, or a well-rounded SAP consultant who can act as a project lead for any digital transformation initiatives, Surety Systems has you covered.
Our team of senior-level, US-based SAP consultants has the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to help you handle any kind of project, from software selection to solution design, implementation planning, deployment, post-implementation support, training, system enhancements, and more.
Here are the main advantages of working with our SAP expert consulting team:
Time-and-Materials Based Consultants
Our SAP experts operate on a time-and-materials basis, meaning that you only pay for what you need — no added fees, no overhead, no unnecessary project management costs.
Unlike other consulting firms that dictate which team members participate in the project, we introduce our customers to multiple SAP expert consultant options for each required role and let them choose their own all-star team for their project.
This way, our clients can ensure the chosen consultants are the best fit for the project and the quality of the consultant or their work isn’t traded in for timeliness or convenience.
Your Projects, Your Way
Our team of SAP expert consultants keeps your needs at the top of the priority list, no matter what.
This means that whether you need someone to provide backfill support for a temporarily vacant role, an implementation expert to deploy your proposed solution, or a team of technical SAP experts to handle complex development issues, we’ll provide expert consultants whose skills and experience are aligned with your unique needs.
Accelerated Time-to-Value
Surety Systems understands that when urgent project needs arise, you might not always have the internal bandwidth, knowledge, or skill sets to handle the project on your own. That’s where we come in!
From finding an SAP expert consultant who can handle 40 hours of complex Fiori development work per week to pairing you up with a functional supply chain consultant who can help you ensure a successful implementation from the start, we’ve got the right people for your needs.
Even better, we’ll help you gain a competitive edge by deploying solutions, solving challenges, and facilitating more efficient business processes with quicker turnaround times and improved consultant accuracy.
