Overview
Where we step in
SAP wants every customer on RISE before the 2027 maintenance cliff. We step in when the RISE quote lands, when Digital Access documents get counted, and when the migration timeline becomes the vendor’s leverage instead of yours.
Our SAP practice runs seven engagements: RISE with SAP negotiation that deconstructs the bundle and corrects the FUE count, S/4HANA migration licensing that converts ECC entitlements without paying twice, indirect and Digital Access defense that rebuilds SAP's document counts independently, SAP contract negotiation across the whole product stack, SAP audit defense with findings challenged on measurement and classification, license review and optimization that cuts what the evidence says you do not need, and the third party support transition that halves maintenance with the exit documented. Renewals, BTP commitments, and SuccessFactors deals run inside these engagements or as standalone mandates.
What we do
Pick the engagement that fits the moment
Seven fixed scope engagements cover the SAP estate end to end. Each runs defined workstreams for one all inclusive fixed price, with up to four advisory calls and email support across the term.

Why clients pick us
Most SAP advice comes from firms that also implement SAP, resell SAP, or earn margin on the migration they recommend. We built Redress the other way, and it shows in the outcomes.
IndependenceNo SAP money, ever
Zero vendor affiliations. No reseller agreements with SAP or any partner, no referral fees, no implementation revenue behind the advice. The recommendation serves one balance sheet: yours.
Experience500+ engagements, 11 vendors
The practice spans RISE negotiations, S/4HANA conversions, indirect access settlements, and audit defense, so every engagement benefits from what SAP tried in the last one.
ResultsOutcomes you can verify
Published case studies: a €10M penalty avoided with a 20 percent RISE renewal cut, a 30 percent RISE reduction, $8M saved on support, and audit claims cut by more than 90 percent on average.
Commercial modelFixed fee or contingency
All inclusive fixed fees with first deliverables in 10 to 15 business days, or contingency where our fee comes only out of savings we deliver beyond your locked baseline.

Frequently asked questions
Questions clients ask us first
Do we have to move to RISE?
No. The 2027 maintenance dates create pressure, but on premise, RISE, and hybrid paths all have negotiable economics. The right answer depends on your estate, not SAP's quota.
What is Digital Access exposure really worth?
Document counts are negotiable at conversion, and classification is where the money moves. Never accept the first count.
When should we engage before a RISE renewal?
Nine to twelve months out, before SAP's year end. Credits and corridor pricing are set early in the cycle.
Are you independent of SAP?
Completely. No reseller margin, no vendor money. Your side only.
Which SAP services do you offer?
Seven fixed scope engagements: RISE negotiation, S/4HANA migration licensing, indirect and Digital Access defense, SAP contract negotiation, audit defense, license review and optimization, and the third party support transition.
How are engagements priced?
Fixed price, all inclusive, or contingency where our fee comes only out of savings we deliver. Every fixed fee covers the full workstreams, up to four advisory calls, and email support across the term. No hourly billing.
Why use Redress instead of an SAP partner or reseller?
Because we hold no SAP money. Partners earn implementation and resale revenue from the outcome they recommend; our only revenue is the advisory fee, so the recommendation is priced against your economics alone.
Do you replace our team in front of SAP?
No. We advise and prepare, and your team keeps the chair and all vendor communications. Every SAP proposal gets a written assessment before you respond, and we prepare your side ahead of every key meeting.
