Services

Consulting that ends in a working system.

Utilities first, one platform, deeply. Every engagement extends the SAP foundation you already run.

How we work

We design forwards from the day after go‑live.

Design with the end state in mind

Most programs are designed backwards from the go-live date. We design forwards from the day after it.

01

Readiness & scope

What the system really holds, what the field really does, and the distance between them.

02

Solution design

Work order structures and maintenance strategy, configured to SAP standard wherever standard will do.

03

Integration architecture

GIS, scheduling and the wider ecosystem joined through clean-core patterns on BAIP.

04

Delivery & assurance

Detailed planning, quality assurance and owner’s-agent oversight, run against the design.

05

Adoption in the field

Change carried through to supervisors and crews, because a design nobody executes is not a design.

06

Optimization & support

Performance monitoring and ongoing support as the operation keeps moving.

These six phases are how we run an engagement — a model for de-risking S/4HANA and EAM programs in gas, electric and water utilities, and in asset-intensive industries beyond them.

Where consulting becomes product

Three products, built from these engagements

Each one started as a problem we kept solving by hand. All three extend SAP through standard APIs on SAP BAIP — clean-core, upgrade-safe, no custom ABAP.

Three products, all of them shipping and all of them running inside The Grove.

Questions we get asked

Before you call

Gas, electric and water utilities. We have worked across a range of industries, but the Enterprise Asset Management domain expertise and the years spent inside and for utilities are what make us useful — and what let us tailor solutions to the pressures utilities are under now rather than the ones in a generic playbook.

We design with the end state in mind: specifically, how the utility will use the investment in S/4HANA to drive operational excellence through proper asset and work management. Hundreds of SAP EAM implementations in utilities have taught us how to configure and use SAP so that the result is intuitive in the field. We provide end-to-end project management, solution design and development, detailed planning, quality assurance, owner’s-agent services, and thorough testing.

SAP Enterprise Asset Management helps organizations optimize the design, installation, performance, maintenance and reliability of physical assets. The EAM work order is the linchpin — it is how work in the field is overseen, managed and optimized. It is also where the benefit of an S/4HANA migration is unlocked: roughly 70% of S/4HANA benefits relate to EAM and work management. In practice that means streamlined maintenance workflows, timely compliance, better safety performance, less downtime, and measurably better productivity and cost effectiveness.

BAIP provides the tools for integration, analytics and custom application development. We help you use it to modernize operations, improve decision-making and add agility — without creating a parallel system that has to be reconciled back to SAP later.

Yes. Post-implementation support includes system optimization, performance monitoring and troubleshooting, so the solution keeps up as the business changes.

A deliberately small and senior team, and a client-first posture. We work as an extension of your team, and we will tell you when something is not worth doing.
