Senior-only ERP, data, and AI staffing

Senior SAP, data engineering, and forward-deployed talent for the programs that can't fail.

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.

Senior-only ERP, data, and AI staffing

Senior SAP, data engineering, and forward-deployed talent for the programs that can't fail.

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.

ECC maintenance ends in 2027. Every S/4 program in America is staffing at once.

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.

Five practices. One bar: senior-only, shipped-before, program-ready.

SAP Staffing

The practice the firm was built on.

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 Engineering

Builders embedded in your team, measured on outcomes.

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.

Data Platform Staffing

The data talent migrations stall without.

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.

Transformation & Carve-Out Staffing

When the deal closes, the systems have to separate on schedule.

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.

Workday Staffing

A standing practice, not the headline.

Senior Workday consultants for integrations and HCM programs. We still staff it — it just isn’t what leads the firm anymore.

No junior fillers. No keyword matching.

1. Intake on program risk.

We scope the role against what your program actually needs to survive — not against a keyword list.

2. Screen for shipped-before.

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.

3. Shortlist in under 59 hours.

Average time from job order to a vetted shortlist. Speed without the resume stack.

Find your lane.

What a forward-deployed engineer actually does

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.
