Optimisation is about ensuring that your existing ERP system, HR system, or payroll system continues to deliver maximum benefit even after several years of use. Through current state analysis, health checks, and targeted improvement efforts, we help you realise the potential in existing systems and make well-informed decisions when an upgrade or major change is needed.
Optimised use of existing systems can contribute to more efficient processes, for example through the automation of various work tasks. Optimised use can also help reduce costs, for example by replacing customisations with new standard features or by reducing the number of systems by replacing various niche solutions with broader standard solutions.

Ensure that the benefits that justified the investment actually arise in the business by optimising the use of the system and linking it more closely to processes, users and business objectives.
Improved data quality and increased clarity about which system controls which information underpin a single version of the truth and enable fact-based decisions. This results in improved decision-making data and clearer governance.
A concrete and cost-effective plan for optimising your system landscape. Work strategically to eliminate technical debt and clearly steer upgrades, consolidations, and replacements towards an optimised system landscape.
An optimisation project gives you the opportunity to elevate your existing system support to a level where it once again creates maximum business value. You get a clear picture of how the system performs today, which functions and processes can be improved, and which measures have the greatest impact on the business. The result is a more efficient and future-proof system support that supports the organisation's needs.
Â
The foundation of all optimisation assignments is a genuine understanding of where you stand today process- and system-wise as well as your ambitions for the future target state.
Optimisation assignments are usually focused on a specific task or a specific area where limited improvements are to provide a significant and lasting effect and support to achieve the organisation's strategic goals.
The key to successful optimisation is concrete improvement proposals with short delivery times and high operational impact. The result is a more stable, cost-effective and value-creating system support that can be developed together with the organisation, not after it.
We conduct a structured review of the system's performance, configuration, and usage to identify risks, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement. The result is a clear overview of process support, system maturity, customisations, and integrations. Furthermore, a prioritised action list is developed to enhance stability and quality in the future system support.
An analysis of which upgrades, additional features, and integrations provide the most value, where we weigh cost, risk, and benefit against each other and help you prioritise the actions that both reduce the total cost of ownership and strengthen the long-term relevance of the systems.
We support you in analysing, structuring and cleansing master data as well as defining clear principles for ownership and governance over data and information. The work results in better data quality, clearer responsibility and a common approach to how master data should be managed going forward. The outcome is more efficient process support, more reliable decision-making data, and improved management.
We support you in designing an optimised management model that provides effective working methods and clear division of responsibility between business, IT and vendors. The model is adapted to the organisation's maturity, ambition level and resource conditions, providing a common framework for prioritisation, decision-making and follow-up. The result is more efficient use of the system support, shorter lead times for changes and better conditions for benefit realisation from the system investment.
