How to read this. Built on Rufouss’s own delivery experience across SAP implementation, conversion, upgrade and application support programmes, cross-checked against SAP Activate. A starting point for a resourcing conversation, not a quotation. Role counts will vary with the complexity of your landscape, your target date, how much of the scope is genuinely fit-to-standard, and how much your own people take on.
