SAP IT Consulting: Stay Ahead with Innovative Technologies
Smart business management ensures your future viability. Set the course by strategically shaping your IT landscape to efficiently digitalize and automate business processes. XEPTUM has been successfully advising companies using SAP products for over 20 years on all IT-related matters. Benefit from our holistic XEPTUM Layer Model.
What does the XEPTUM Layer Model Include?
XEPTUM Consulting AG's portfolio of services and consulting has grown extensively over the years. For better transparency, we have structured our diverse SAP and IT offerings within the XEPTUM Layer Model.
The following overview provides insight into the six levels where we offer specific services tailored to your IT landscape. For more details and offerings, please visit the respective pages on our services.
1. Strategy Consulting
At this level, we assist our clients in developing and achieving strategic goals. Among other things, we create customized Customer Journey Maps, which help achieve measurable successes through specifically defined components and milestones. Additionally, we offer effective support for the strategic development of your IT landscape through Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM). Another expertise of the XEPTUM consulting team at the strategy level is IT adaptation as part of your company's restructuring efforts.
2. Process Consulting
In our process consulting, we implement and optimize your processes across the entire value chain. We precisely digitalize your business requirements using our in-depth knowledge of SAP Best Practices and the latest technical possibilities. Leveraging our experience and proven tools from numerous projects, we customize these solutions to fit your needs. This ensures the optimal implementation of your process requirements.
3. IT Solutions
If there is no suitable SAP standard solution for your requirements, we develop IT solutions and applications using the latest technology. These solutions can be integrated within the SAP Core or extended through the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), with or without connection to cloud systems. We have also implemented initial AI solutions, creating sustainable added value and efficiency improvements.
4. Data
Data is essential in every business process, and each process generates new data. We provide consulting and support in both directions: we migrate and archive your data, assist with its administration, and show you what information can be derived from or with your data.
5. IT Security
With the increasing number of interfaces and connections between various systems, IT security is becoming ever more important. We identify potential entry points for cyber attackers and advise you on how to close them. For example, we create and implement comprehensive user and authorization concepts across system boundaries. If desired, we also support you during external audits.
6. Operating Models
Whether on-premise, cloud-based, or hybrid: we offer our services across the aforementioned layers independent of your current or future operating model. Only with platform independence can we develop the optimal solutions for you.
Why Does the Layer Model Take a Holistic Approach?
The full strength of the Layer Model and XEPTUM's SAP and IT consulting only unfolds through interaction and consideration of mutual dependencies. Therefore, the individual layers should not be viewed in isolation.
The design of your business processes may depend on a strategic fundamental decision: Should standard best practice processes be increasingly or even exclusively implemented? Or is it advisable to automate your requirements as individually as possible? Here, both the underlying platform (e.g., SAP S/4HANA On-Premise or S/4HANA Public Cloud) and the required data, its quality, and availability play a crucial role. Additionally, IT security, which encompasses roles, permissions, and appropriate technical security measures, must not be overlooked.
Since the XEPTUM Layer Model considers all these layers, you receive comprehensive, consistent, and optimized solutions tailored to your individual requirements.
What Advantages Does the Layer Model Offer You?
The XEPTUM Layer Model stands not only for quality but also for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Depending on the layer and topic, it includes the following elements:
- Standardized methods and tools
- Best practices and recommendations
- Conceptually defined layers using a bottom-up approach
- Customer-specific selection of key topics
- Layer-specific project approaches
With this, XEPTUM ensures that you, as a customer, receive a technically superior and efficient representation of your business processes in a holistic, integrated solution. This solution paves the way for you to become an intelligent enterprise, enabling you to quickly respond to volatile market and customer demands – thereby achieving decisive competitive advantages and long-term profitability.
