Lighthouse — deBCor's strategy practice

Strategy

See what's coming. Plan for what's next.

Strategic SAP guidance from 30-year veterans. We map your roadmap five years out — so the decisions you make today still work in 2031.

How we deliver

Four roles. One firm.

deBCor delivers SAP through four distinct roles. Each one solves a different problem at a different moment in the lifecycle of an enterprise SAP relationship — from the first strategic decision to the lights staying on years after go-live.

AI delivery and deBCor-built agents flow through all four pillars. Security and senior-led teams underpin every engagement.

Proof

Two programs. Two outcomes the industry called impossible.

The Rescue

A Fortune 500 insurer.

A Fortune 500 insurer spent $30M and three years with a major consulting firm. Their global SAP Public Cloud transformation across 54 countries never reached go-live.

deBCor delivered it in five months.

  • $30M wasted
  • 3 years stuck
  • 54 countries
  • 5 months to go-live

The Migration

A $1B+ consumer fitness brand.

A $1B+ consumer fitness brand needed to upgrade from SAP ECC to S/4HANA without disrupting global operations. deBCor delivered the full brownfield upgrade in four months.

The system handled 10× pandemic order volume on day one.

  • ECC → S/4HANA upgrade
  • 4 months to go-live
  • Zero revenue lost
  • 10× order volume held

  • Founded by one of the originals.

    deBCor founder Gareth de Bruyn was among the world's first to earn SAP ABAP certification — a full-day, in-person exam at SAP America's Boston offices in 1996. That same year, he wrote Introduction to ABAP/4 Programming for SAP — the first ABAP textbook ever published. The book was selected by Dr. Jim Mensching as the foundational text for the first SAP curriculum in the United States at California State University, Chico — the founding chapter of the SAP University Alliance program. Gareth taught from the book at CSU Chico as an adjunct instructor.

  • Every architect-tier credential, in one architect.

    Our Chief Architect holds every SAP architect-tier certification SAP currently offers — Enterprise Architect, Solution Architect (BTP), Data Architect (BDC), and LeanIX Enterprise Architecture Consultant. Holding all four in one person is unusual even for senior SAP firms. Plus the SAP Generative AI Developer credential — SAP's credential for partners building on Business AI Platform. VP Arun Singh and other senior architects on the team carry the same architect-tier depth.

Our Notable Clients

30 years of SAP. Hundreds of go-lives. Names you'll recognize.

Client experience

“DEBCOR's white-glove approach to consulting isn't just a tagline — it's the reality of their service. They've been our trusted partner for many years because of the integrity of their approach. At our request, they cleaned up our technical debt and prepared us for S/4HANA. The migration only took four months — we were down for maybe a weekend, then back to business with no loss in revenue.”

The SAP consulting industry was built on billable hours. We were built on outcomes. That's why our clients hire us — and why they stay for the long run.

AI-Native, Not AI-Pasted-On

deBCor was building AI-native SAP integrations on Anthropic Claude and Amazon Bedrock years before SAP's Sapphire 2026 Autonomous Enterprise announcement.

Three patents pending. An Anthropic Claude Partner. SAP Build Partner. Our Chief Architect holds the SAP Generative AI Developer certification — SAP's credential for partners building on Business AI Platform. The future SAP just announced is the future we've been building in.

Practical AI, Today

AI accelerates all four pillars.

At deBCor, AI is already woven into how we deliver enterprise programs — from the Lighthouse to the Harbor. We use advanced AI to simplify complex deployments, accelerate design, and reduce dependency on business users. The result: faster starts, cleaner data, and predictable outcomes.

AI-Accelerated Design

Reduce blueprint and design effort by 65–80 percent.

AI-Driven Data Quality

Cleanse legacy data with automated corrections and intelligent matching.

AI Process Agents

Automate process mapping, validation, and testing to reduce business-user burden.

What this means for your ERP implementation

Faster Start

85%

85 percent of discovery completed in weeks, not months.

Less Burden on Business Users

Digital twin simulations let project teams iterate with AI, reducing the need for frequent business-user involvement while improving accuracy and delivery quality.

Cleaner Data

Legacy data cleansed and validated before it reaches Migration Cockpit.

Predictable Outcomes

Digital twins and simulation-based design reduce late surprises.

AI accelerates what humans do best. Your project still benefits from the most experienced SAP consultants in the industry.
