UX Consultant & Developer

The ultimate goal of every SAP project is to provide users with the most ideal and efficient solutions for their daily work. Achieving this requires not only technical expertise but also a detailed understanding of the users' exact needs through user research.

In many SAP projects, the first validation with users takes place when there is something tangible at hand, such as a maturing implementation or even after going live.

As a result, the feedback must be squeezed into the ongoing implementation, which massively increases the effort and cost.

Imagine building a house and having to convert the living room into a bathroom during construction. It sounds utterly absurd, yet it occurs daily in project routines, in varying degrees.

✨ This is precisely the problem my UX methodology can solve!

💰 In my SAP projects over the past few years, I've consistently saved six-figure sums from the projected budget (in some cases, up to 50% of the costs).

🚀 At the same time, the user experience can still be elevated to an outstanding level.
