Define the workstream first
Write down the technical problem, outcome, dependencies and non-negotiable constraints before comparing suppliers.
LIDITECH INSIGHT
How to Choose an SAP Consulting Partner in the UK
A practical guide to choosing an SAP consulting partner in the UK when you need technical depth without automatically buying a larger transformation programme.
WHY IT MATTERS
The decision behind the question
SAP supplier selection often starts with brand recognition, generic capability decks and rate cards. Those things matter less than whether the partner can explain the exact workstream, expose dependencies early, work with your existing SI and leave behind evidence your own team can operate.
PRACTICAL METHOD
How to work through it
Use the steps to move from assumption to evidence and then to a decision.
Test depth with real questions
Ask how the partner would discover unknown interfaces, custom code, data issues, cutover risk or recurring support failures in your actual landscape.
Check how they fit your programme
A specialist should be able to own one difficult workstream without demanding control of the whole transformation.
Agree evidence before activity
Set success measures such as reduced blocker ageing, reconciled data, retired interfaces, faster recovery or fewer repeat incidents.
WHAT WE EXAMINE
Evidence worth collecting
- Evidence of technical depth in the SAP area you actually need
- A clear boundary between advisory, delivery and programme ownership
- How the partner works with an existing SI or internal SAP team
- What measurable evidence will prove the workstream is healthier
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Useful outputs, not shelfware.
We keep deliverables tied to decisions, delivery and ownership. The exact format changes with the workstream; these are the outputs we would expect to leave behind.

WHERE WE FIT
We do not need to replace your existing team to be useful.
Liditech can provide an independent technical review, take ownership of a defined SAP workstream or work alongside an existing systems integrator.
