SAP Advisory Services
Make informed SAP decisions with a clear strategy and roadmap. LeverX helps UK organisations assess their SAP landscape, define target architecture, plan S/4HANA transformation, and address regulatory and technology requirements.
LeverX is a global system integrator and SAP Gold Partner with 20+ years of experience in SAP and ERP transformation. We help UK organisations assess their SAP landscapes, define target architectures, plan S/4HANA transformation, and address business and regulatory requirements.
Our advisory approach gives organisations a clear view of their current environment, future-state options, and the steps required to move forward - helping align SAP investments with strategic and operational priorities.
- SAP landscape assessment and target architecture design
- SAP S/4HANA migration and transformation planning
- Clean Core strategy and SAP BTP alignment
- Legacy system and custom code evaluation for upgrade readiness
- UK compliance readiness (HMRC, FCA, and regulatory frameworks)
- Cloud, hybrid, and on-premise deployment strategy
- SAP transformation roadmap and modernisation planning
Why SAP Strategy Matters Before Any Project Starts
SAP decisions made at the beginning of a transformation can shape finance, procurement, data, and core business processes for years. If these decisions are left until implementation, project constraints and legacy dependencies can limit available options and lead to costly rework.
SAP advisory brings these decisions forward - before configuration and development begin. By assessing the current landscape and defining the target architecture, data, integration, and governance principles upfront, organisations can establish a clearer foundation for transformation and future change.
For UK organisations, early planning also means considering tax, compliance, and regulatory requirements from the outset. This helps align SAP investments with business priorities while accounting for the requirements of the UK market.
Key drivers for SAP advisory in the UK:
-
Digital tax compliance. Configure SAP to support Making Tax Digital requirements set by HM Revenue & Customs.
-
Structured system design. Define data models, process flows, and integrations before implementation starts.
-
SAP S/4HANA transformation planning. Build a clear migration strategy while minimising disruption and avoiding unnecessary rework.
-
Clean Core alignment. Keep the SAP core standard and maintainable by using SAP BTP and other appropriate extension approaches.
-
Regulatory readiness. Align system controls and reporting with requirements from the Financial Conduct Authority.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SAP advisory support FCA operational resilience requirements?
For FCA-regulated organisations, SAP advisory can help align SAP architecture and controls with applicable operational resilience requirements. This includes assessing critical business services and their dependencies, access controls, data protection, backup and recovery, system resilience, and continuity of key SAP-enabled processes. The focus is on connecting resilience planning with the underlying technology and business processes.
Why is Clean Core a priority before introducing AI tools in SAP?
A clean, well-governed SAP core provides a more stable foundation for AI, automation, and future upgrades. Excessive customisation can make it harder to access reliable data, integrate new capabilities, and adopt SAP innovations. We assess custom code, extensions, and integrations to determine what should remain in the core and where alternative extension approaches, including SAP BTP, are more appropriate.
How do you prepare SAP systems for UK audit requirements?
We assess SAP processes, controls, data structures, authorisations, and reporting against the organisation's applicable audit and governance requirements. This can include financial controls, segregation of duties, audit trails, data retention, and reporting processes. We identify gaps and recommend changes that improve control, traceability, and audit readiness.
Can SAP advisory address new UK-specific taxes and reporting obligations?
Yes. We assess how changes in UK tax and reporting requirements may affect SAP processes, configuration, data, integrations, and reporting. For example, this can include requirements related to Making Tax Digital and other applicable HMRC obligations. We help organisations understand the potential system impact and incorporate the necessary changes into their SAP roadmap.
