Close the Hidden Cost Gap in Your SAP Project With Measurable ROI
Training delivery is budgeted. Training management usually isn’t — and that’s where the most expensive hidden costs appear over the lifecycle of your SAP program.
Where SAP Projects Really Lose Money
On paper, your SAP budget covers everything — licenses, infrastructure, implementation partners, testing, and change management.
What’s rarely budgeted properly is training management itself: planning, coordination, tracking, and knowledge transfer.
This oversight leads to:
- Uncoordinated training logistics consuming project time
- Trial-and-error content creation and costly rework
- Consultants repeatedly answering the same questions
- Go-Live delays due to insufficient user readiness
- Rising support tickets & change requests after Go-Live
These inefficiencies appear as hidden costs across the entire SAP program.
A Typical S/4HANA Project: €200K–€2.0M in Hidden Costs
Across project and post-project phases (5 years), organizations typically accumulate costs.
You’re not adding cost — you’re reclaiming money that would otherwise disappear through friction, delays, and rework.
