Automate repetitive admin to free up billable capacity
Unlock Predictable Growth for Your Professional Services Firm
Streamline operations, increase profitability, and stay ahead of client demands with intelligent cloud ERP from SAP and Walldorf Consulting.
Professional services firms face increasing pressure to deliver profitable growth amid rising client expectations and hybrid work models. Manual processes, disconnected systems, and limited data visibility reduce agility and margins.
What's Holding Businesses Back
Manual Admin Reducing Profitability
Too many manual approvals and spreadsheets drain billable hours and create errors. Time tracking and billing consume resources that should drive revenue.
Lack of Visibility Risks Client Satisfaction
Without unified data, projects overrun budgets and erode trust. Limited visibility leads to missed deadlines and margin leakage.
Global Growth Feels Risky
Scaling across borders Is complex: tax, currency, and compliance rules slow expansion, local regulations make expansion complex.
How Leading Firms Solve These Challenges
Top-performing professional services organizations are standardizing, automating, and connecting their operations through cloud-based platforms that deliver measurable efficiency gains.

Top Use Cases from Clients Like You
Replace legacy tools with an unified platform
Professional services firms often struggle with fragmented, outdated systems that hinder collaboration, scalability, and visibility. SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition offers a single, integrated platform that connects projects, financials, and resource management - eliminating silos and manual handoffs. With embedded industry best practices and rapid deployment via GROW with SAP, firms can standardize operations, improve agility during reorganizations or acquisitions, and accelerate innovation across business lines.
Automate time tracking and billing
Manual processes for time capture and billing introduce errors, delay revenue recognition, and reduce utilization. SAP automates time entry, approval workflows, and billing cycles by integrating professional services automation into its core ERP. This results in accurate, real-time billing for time-and-material, fixed-fee, or performance-based contracts, freeing up billable staff, enhancing compliance, and reducing revenue leakage.
Consolidate multi-entity financials
Growth via mergers or multi-region expansion increases the complexity of financial consolidation. SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition unifies financial operations across all entities and geographies into a single data model, enabling real-time group-level reporting and analysis. The platform supports multiple currencies, tax regimes, and accounting standards, while offering embedded analytics to deliver companywide financial visibility and enable agile decision-making.
Predict risks with AI analytics
In an unpredictable economy, professional services firms need proactive, data-driven risk management. SAP Business AI, embedded in S/4HANA Cloud, provides predictive analytics and intelligent alerts that identify delivery delays, budget overruns, or resource bottlenecks before they escalate. By harnessing AI to surface actionable insights from real-time project, financial, and operational data, firms can minimize risk, improve margins, and enhance client satisfaction.
Enable subscription and performance billing
Shifting to XaaS and usage-based pricing models demands flexible, intelligent billing capabilities. SAP enables complex revenue recognition and subscription billing through integrated solution order management, combining products, services, and entitlements in one unified contract. This ensures compliance with IFRS and GAAP, improves forecasting, and supports new monetization models without overhauling core processes—helping firms future-proof their business models.
