Frequently asked questions
How is INK different from a strategy consultancy?
We advise, architect and deliver. The people who build your roadmap also know how to implement it on SAP, so the plan is realistic.
Can you help us choose between RISE and GROW?
Yes. We compare both for your case, with readiness, total cost and a business case, and support licence and contract choices.
Do you design shared services?
Yes. We design and help set up IT, finance and HR shared services, including the operating model, service catalogue and SLAs.
What do we get at the end?
A current-state assessment, an agreed target state, a business case and a phased three-year roadmap with governance.
