About Us

Techatalyst is a global services firm with a core focus on SAP.

We provide end-to-end SAP services for our clients starting from implementations, roll-outs, upgrade/migrations all the way to support. Our passion is to help our clients maximize returns on their SAP investments. Help them to use SAP how it’s meant to be. Going beyond just operationalizing transactions. By engaging with business to help them realize their most important goals. And in the process always keep them current on SAP.

Our Focus

Outcomes

We obsess about one thing. Outcomes. It doesn’t matter what stands in our way to deliver tangible business benefits to clients. We grasp technology is just a tool to deliver. How you use it is important, but the real issue is to address the Why!

Holistic View

When we see life only from one perspective we miss out. It’s important to understand ideas of all the stakeholders. That’s critical. We help clients focus better and help them produce better Results!

Ethics

It’s an often bandied, tossed around, used; but mostly abused term. We rarely see consultants bringing uncompromising ethics to the profession. In large, small, simple, complex all kinds of environments. We are zealous to get ethics back to fore in consulting. And we expect the same from clients. After all we can’t expect the world to change unless we Change!

Trust and Teamwork

Trust is the cornerstone of all successful relationships. We are accountable to our word. With clients, employees, partners; everyone. We say what we mean & do as we say. Equally important is Teamwork. Successful consulting is a team sport. When it comes to our clients, it’s not us vs them. Our clients are the keystones of our team!

Differentiators

Why did you invest in SAP? To build a solid application and technology foundation that will help your business grow. Leverage new ground-breaking advances such as AI and GenAI. But SAP is a vast and complex technical solution. A platform that is used by over 400,000+ Clients in more than 180 countries! So, it’s both a blessing and a challenge. If used correctly you can leapfrog competition. But at times it’s a tad overwhelming.

That’s where we come in.

We understand SAP. More importantly, we put in efforts to know you. And we help you to leverage SAP correctly for your business goals. That’s the reason we start by engaging with your business. Grasp their challenges & focus on your goals. Then figure out the best way to accomplish those with SAP. Implementing SAP’s best practices.

In the past 5 years, SAP has made moves to completely re-orient their product offerings to the Cloud. SAP now offers 2 competitive cloud service offerings. RISE with SAP, where you can reap the benefits of S/4 HANA with Business Process Intelligence and Business Technology Platform along with your own customizations and GROW with SAP for the mid-sized enterprises where you will use off-the-shelf pre-configured Best Practices. Both are cloud native and offer state-of-the-art AI assistant Joule to help you with automation and insights.

This transition of SAP from on-prem to cloud is where we will help you. So that your enterprise can improve efficiencies across processes, scale, and adapt quickly within budgets.

And that is why it is important for us to engage in longer-term relationships with our clients. As our association grows, so does their RoI on SAP.

It is one thing to say this and quite another to do it. We walk the talk.
