Nine practices. One delivery standard.

Every engagement is modular. Start with the problem that is costing you money today, prove the return, then expand. The same senior people stay on the work from assessment through hypercare.

ERP Implementation

New core, delivered without the eighteen-month surprise.

SAPS/4HANAOracle FusionDynamics 365Infor

We run full-lifecycle ERP implementations across the full SAP portfolio, plus Oracle, Dynamics 365, and Infor. Design decisions are made against your process reality rather than a template, and every phase exits on a documented gate: fit-to-standard signed, data validated, integrations proven, users trained. Our leads have carried thirteen full-lifecycle SAP programs between them.

What we deliver
  • Fit-to-standard and fit-gap workshops with process owners
  • Greenfield, brownfield, and selective data transition approaches
  • Multi-site and multi-country rollouts with localization
  • Cutover planning, dress rehearsals, and go-live command center
  • Hypercare with defect triage and knowledge transfer to your team
What changes
  • A signed design your business actually recognizes
  • Cutover rehearsed before the weekend that counts
  • Support model staffed and trained before hypercare ends

ERP Migration & Upgrade

The 2027 deadline is a schedule problem. We treat it like one.

ECC to S/4HANADMOFINS_MIGCustom CodeCVI / BP

Brownfield conversion is a sequencing discipline: Pre-Check, custom code remediation, customer-vendor integration, DMO rehearsals, then the four-step finance migration that cannot be undone once activated. We run that sequence with our own migration cockpit, Linos Migrate, so every rehearsal produces a reconciliation you can show an auditor.

What we deliver
  • Readiness assessment: Pre-Check, ATC, SCMON custom-code scoping
  • CVI and business-partner conversion with data remediation
  • DMO rehearsals across Sandbox, DEV, QA, Pre-prod, and PROD
  • FINS_MIG four-step finance migration under strict ordering control
  • Balance reconciliation across GL, AA, MM, AR/AP, and ML with tolerance gates
What changes
  • Downtime measured against a rehearsed number, not an estimate
  • Finance balances tied out ECC to S/4HANA before activation
  • A 13-event cutover runbook your team can execute

Application Managed Services

The system stays up, and it keeps getting better.

L1 / L2 / L3AribaC/4HANAConcurSuccessFactors

AMS at Linos is not a ticket queue. We take the run book, the access model, and the backlog, then work the defect rate down while shipping the enhancements that never made the project scope. Coverage spans SAP ECC through S/4HANA, Ariba, C/4HANA, Concur, SuccessFactors, and the integrations between them.

What we deliver
  • Tiered support with documented SLAs, KPIs, and escalation paths
  • Release and transport management across the landscape
  • User access governance, SoD review, and audit support
  • Proactive monitoring with root-cause elimination, not ticket churn
  • Enhancement backlog delivery on a fixed monthly capacity
What changes
  • Response times you can point to in a contract
  • Recurring incidents retired instead of reopened
  • Audit evidence produced without a fire drill

AI & Intelligent Automation

AI that reads your documents and moves your transactions.

ClaudeAgentic AIDocument AIPredictive AnalyticsRPA

We build AI where the work already happens: inside order entry, inside the close, inside the vendor onboarding queue. Every agent runs with human-in-the-loop checkpoints and an audit trail, because in a regulated enterprise an unexplainable decision is worse than a manual one.

What we deliver
  • Document intelligence for invoices, POs, contracts, and batch records
  • Agentic workflow automation with human approval checkpoints
  • Predictive analytics on supply, demand, finance, and quality data
  • AI signal ingestion from Teams, email, and ERP event streams
  • Model governance, evaluation, and audit-trail design
What changes
  • Manual keying reduced on the highest-volume document type first
  • Exceptions surfaced before they become month-end problems
  • Every automated decision traceable to its inputs

Data & Analytics

One number, one source, one owner.

SAP MDGData MigrationSACPower BIGovernance

Most failed ERP programs are data programs in disguise. We profile the legacy estate early, assign ownership before the first load, and build the governance that keeps material, customer, vendor, and finance masters clean after go-live. Reporting is designed against the same model, so the dashboard and the close never disagree.

What we deliver
  • Data profiling, cleansing, and migration strategy with load rehearsals
  • SAP MDG and master data governance operating models
  • Analytics and reporting architecture across SAC, Power BI, and Fabric
  • KPI definition workshops with finance and operations owners
  • Data quality monitoring with named stewards and thresholds
What changes
  • Load defects found in rehearsal instead of in production
  • A master data owner named for every domain
  • Reports that reconcile to the general ledger on day one

Supply Chain & Operations

Design the flow, then make the system match it.

SAP EWMSAP IBPGTSOTCPTPMES

We work the operational core: how demand becomes a plan, how a plan becomes a production order, how product moves through a warehouse and out the door. Deep hands-on depth in SAP EWM, IBP, and global trade, with the process redesign that has to happen before any of it is configured.

What we deliver
  • S&OP and integrated business planning design with SAP IBP
  • Warehouse design and SAP EWM implementation, including RF and automation
  • Order-to-cash and procure-to-pay process redesign
  • Global trade services, compliance screening, and export control
  • Manufacturing execution and shop-floor integration
What changes
  • A planning cadence the business runs, not one the system dictates
  • Warehouse throughput designed before the racks are bought
  • Trade compliance enforced in the transaction, not in a spreadsheet

Program & Change Management

Governance that escalates early, and users who show up ready.

PMOOCMRisk ManagementTrainingControl Tower

We take the PMO seat on programs that have to land: workstream coordination, risk and issue management, steering-committee reporting that says what is actually happening. Paired with organizational change management, because an ERP nobody was prepared for is an ERP nobody uses.

What we deliver
  • PMO setup, methodology, cadence, and steering-committee reporting
  • Risk and issue management with executive escalation thresholds
  • Integrated plan ownership across system integrators and internal teams
  • Change impact assessment, stakeholder mapping, and communications
  • Role-based training design, delivery, and post-go-live reinforcement
What changes
  • Status your steering committee trusts because it names bad news
  • Dependencies across vendors held in one plan
  • Users trained on their role, not on the software

Digital Strategy & Architecture

Decide what to keep, what to retire, and in what order.

Enterprise ArchitectureTOGAFCloudIntegrationVendor Selection

Before a program starts, somebody has to answer which systems survive, what the target architecture looks like, and what the three-year sequence costs. We do that work with the CIO and the CFO in the room, and hand over a roadmap that survives contact with the budget cycle.

What we deliver
  • Application portfolio rationalization and total cost baselining
  • Target-state enterprise architecture, TOGAF-aligned
  • Cloud migration strategy across AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Integration architecture across SaaS, on-premise, and hybrid estates
  • Vendor selection, RFP design, and evaluation facilitation
What changes
  • A retire list with owners and dates
  • A sequenced roadmap tied to the funding calendar
  • Vendor selection defensible to procurement and to audit

Pricing & Revenue Optimization

Price the bid correctly, then protect the margin through performance.

Cost-PlusCPFFCPIFT&MFAR / DFARSDCAA

Federal work lives or dies on the pricing structure. We design and stress-test cost-plus, CPFF, CPIF, and T&M models, build the rate structure behind them, and score the result against FAR and DFARS requirements before it goes to the contracting officer.

What we deliver
  • Pricing strategy and structure design by federal contract type
  • Indirect rate structure development and provisional rate support
  • Competitive analysis and margin protection modeling
  • FAR / DFARS pricing compliance scoring and documentation
  • Integration with the LinoScore Pricing Intelligence Engine
What changes
  • A bid priced to win and to survive the contract period
  • Rate structures documented for DCAA scrutiny
  • Margin erosion caught in performance, not at closeout

The same practices, tuned to your industry.

A validated pharmaceutical environment and a multi-plant building products manufacturer need the same disciplines applied very differently. Pick your sector to see how.
