SAP Capability Across an ERP Consolidation Program

The client is the second-largest global sportswear manufacturer and the company behind the "their digital transformation strategy" strategy that committed over a billion euros to digital transformation through 2025. The 2025 results land at tens of billions in net sales, billions in direct-to-consumer revenue, and multi-billion operating profit with strong e-commerce growth. Their loyalty program with over 300M members operates across roughly fifty countries; e-commerce runs in sixty-five. Taller's engagement at this client has run continuously since September 2021, sourced through a staffing partner. The dominant workstream is the North America intelligent process automation program on UiPath — captured in Volume II under the RPA Automation Anywhere case with $2M+ annual cost savings. Adjacent workstreams cover Power BI analytics for the client's tech delivery hub (also captured in Volume II), an eCommerce/B2B/Retail platform-engineering pod under the client's tech delivery hub, Databricks data engineering, SAP integration and functional business-analysis capability, EDI engineering for B2B trading, and the Latin America tech infrastructure team service-management team in Brazil and Mexico. The three validated use cases below land in three of these adjacent surfaces.

Their ERP consolidation program consolidating three legacy ERP backbones into a single SAP S/4HANA installation on AWS is one of the largest SAP migrations underway anywhere. Migrations of this scale never operate as a single program - they require sustained SAP capability across the integration layer (APIs, data exchanges, system-to-system contracts), the functional layer (Finance, Demand Planning, Sales, Supply Chain business analysts), and the configuration layer (S/4HANA module specialists). The capability requirement is broad, and the engineering economics depend on continuous SAP talent supply through the multi-year program window.

Taller has sustained SAP capability participation at this client across three role types. A SAP/Tibco Integration engineer working on retail POS (SAP Fiori, SAP Retail, Tibco web services, complex APIs) handles the integration layer between SAP and the retail POS platform. A SAP Business Analyst and a Senior Business Analyst for Finance and Demand Planning (APO, IBP, SAC, Anaplan-equivalent tooling) handle the functional layer - translating business requirements across SAP modules into specifications the configuration and engineering teams operate against. Taller does not handle the S/4HANA configuration itself or the migration program management — those sit inside their ERP consolidation program leadership and the SI partner consulting layer — but Taller participates in the SAP capability ecosystem that the program depends on.

SAP capability sustained at this client across integration roles. The talent supply track is operationally meaningful for a multi-year SAP program of their ERP consolidation program's scope.

The dossier's strategic frame on UC3 is their ERP consolidation program digital core as the operating system for one-plan enterprise execution across sales, supply chain, and finance. Taller's contribution is at the integration and functional-BA layers that the migration program needs to absorb. The neighboring layer is real — Taller is part of the SAP capability ecosystem that the program operates against — and the limitation is real — Taller is not the S/4HANA configuration or program-management partner that the migration itself depends on.
