You've Seen the Pricing.
Here's Why It Works.
A 10x difference in price and timeline isn't a red flag — it's a different model.
Two Different Models
Same problem, fundamentally different approaches.
- Timeline
- 6–12 months
- Cost
- $50K – $500K+
- Team
- 8–15 consultants
- Approach
- Custom-built from scratch
- Billing
- Time & materials (hourly)
Best for greenfield S/4HANA transformations with 200+ custom objects and enterprise-scale re-architecture.
- Timeline
- 3–4 weeks
- Cost
- $10K – $18K
- Team
- 1 senior SAP architect
- Approach
- Pre-built, configured & deployed
- Billing
- Fixed price (50/50 split)
Best for specific integration needs — approval automation, Salesforce-SAP sync, document workflows.
Traditional SI engagements are built for enterprise-scale custom development. They're the right choice for greenfield S/4HANA transformations with hundreds of custom objects. But if you need a specific integration — approval workflows via DocuSign, bidirectional Salesforce-SAP sync — you don't need a development project. You need a product deployment.
The Three D's: Why This Model Works
Disruptive business model, discontinuous tooling, defensible moat — the three levers that let us price at $10K and still stay in business.
A Business Model Incumbents Can't Copy
Pre-built code amortized across many clients, AI-assisted delivery, fixed-price SOW, client-owned output. A Big SI with a senior-partner cost base can't shrink to $10K without destroying their P&L. You're not funding R&D — you're buying configuration and deployment.
Purpose-Built Automation
Discovery, deployment, configuration, and validation run through a proprietary framework — 51 ABAP objects deployed in a single automated session. What a traditional SI does in two weeks of manual configuration, we compress to one. Not faster; structurally different.
A Content Moat, Not a Code Moat
Every client deployment uses the same proven codebase. Pricing is published, comparisons are honest, the whole playbook is documented in the open. Each deployment makes the product more reliable — and each article makes the market smarter about what to demand. Compounds over time.
What You're Actually Buying
A structured, milestone-driven deployment — not an open-ended engagement.
Week 1
Discovery & Configuration
- — 30-minute discovery call to understand your SAP landscape
- — Automated system discovery maps your configuration — company codes, release strategies, approval chains
- — Integration profile generated — the blueprint for your deployment
- — You review and approve the configuration before anything is deployed
Week 2
Deployment
- — Integration code deployed to your SAP system through standard SAP transport mechanisms
- — Configuration tables populated — DocuSign credentials, signer mappings, release strategy links
- — Webhook endpoints registered for real-time document status callbacks
- — All deployment steps are automated and idempotent — safe to retry if any step needs adjustment
Week 3
Testing & UAT
- — End-to-end testing with your actual purchase orders, approval chains, and signers
- — User acceptance testing with your team — they see the workflow in action
- — Edge case validation: multi-level approvals, delegation, timeout handling
- — Any configuration tweaks applied on the spot
Week 4
Go-Live & Knowledge Transfer
- — Production cutover with zero downtime — the integration runs alongside existing processes
- — Knowledge transfer session: your team learns to manage signers, monitor envelopes, handle exceptions
- — Operational runbook delivered — troubleshooting, monitoring, escalation procedures
- — Premium packages include 2-day on-site training + 30-day hypercare support
Delivery Model
One Expert, Not Eight Generalists
Your integration is built and delivered by a senior SAP architect with direct, hands-on experience building these exact integrations — not a rotating cast of junior consultants, and not a project manager who delegates to offshore teams.
One person who built the product, deploys the product, and stands behind the product. You'll work directly with the engineer who wrote the code running on your system.
