The same as in all business sectors, information technology (IT) departments are increasingly under pressure to cut costs. IT employees are often exposed to management demands for greater savings, at the same time needing to improve performance and functionality.

The use of SAP covers the entire company from customers to suppliers. Due to continuously driven high integration, individual elements of organizations and their value chains are linked more and more. The potential benefits grow as do increasing system costs, both in terms of infrastructure and applications.

Together with the company axeba ag, we have developed SAP application benchmarking, which supports the analysis and comparison of costs for infrastructure, support, maintenance and projects. Our model also takes into account benefits, quality, complexity and the risk of operation, in any SAP solution.
