SAP is at the very heart of what we are doing at Tenthpin. Delivering SAP programs has shaped our Tenthpin DNA over the years. And even after 40 years of SAP transformations, it is still a complex operation with high organizational impact, high visibility, and significant failure rates. Nevertheless, we deliver our SAP transformation projects successfully – across the whole SAP product suite.
