Messy S4 Migration

We place deployment-ready consultants and engineers with enterprise teams and system integrators — S/4HANA migrations, data platform builds, carve-outs, and AI initiatives. Matched to your program’s risk, not to keywords.
We place deployment-ready consultants and engineers with enterprise teams and system integrators — S/4HANA migrations, data platform builds, carve-outs, and AI initiatives. Matched to your program’s risk, not to keywords.
The programs going live on time staffed their data migration first — not last. If your S/4 timeline assumes the data workstream will sort itself out, it won’t.
23+ years placing senior SAP consultants — S/4HANA migrations, ECC transitions, and the modules programs actually stall on: EWM, FICO, MM, SD, IBP, Basis, ABAP. We staff the plant floor first, because that’s where go-lives are won or lost.
Forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) are senior engineers who embed inside your team, ship production code on your data and AI platforms, and own the outcome until it works. Not staff-aug bodies. Not consultants with decks. The Palantir-style model, staffed as a service.
Senior data engineers, analytics engineers, and data architects for both halves of the problem: SAP-side (S/4HANA data migration, BW, Datasphere) and the modern stack (Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Airflow). People who have carried a migration or a production pipeline before.
M&A system separations and business transformations need ERP and data talent that has lived through a carve-out before — disentangling landscapes under a TSA clock, not learning on your timeline.
Senior Workday consultants for integrations and HCM programs. We still staff it — it just isn’t what leads the firm anymore.
We scope the role against what your program actually needs to survive — not against a keyword list.
Every candidate is screened for production experience on your exact platform and problem. Our bar for an FDE: shipped production code in someone else’s environment.
Average time from job order to a vetted shortlist. Speed without the resume stack.
For CDOs, VPs of data engineering, and CTOs.
We staff SAP and FDE pods for consulting firms, not just end clients.
Not staff augmentation. Not consultants with decks. An FDE embeds inside your team, ships production code on your data and AI platforms, and owns the outcome until it works.


















One call. We scope the role against your program’s risk, and a vetted shortlist lands in under 59 hours.
