Digital Transformation Services, Delivered by Forward Deployed Engineers

We embed Forward Deployed Engineers directly inside your business, engineers who sit in your systems and your data, not behind a requirements document, to modernize operations and build the foundation for what’s next in Data and AI. From planning to post-go-live support, we help ensure every technology investment delivers measurable business value.

The Challenge

Why Digital Transformation Initiatives Fall Behind

ERP implementation and digital transformation projects regularly fail to achieve their intended outcomes, and it’s rarely the platform’s fault. The real cause is usually distance: requirements get passed from business teams to delivery teams to build teams, and the people writing the specs are never the people sitting with the data. Poorly defined requirements, weak delivery controls, and limited post go-live support are what turn a strong platform choice into a late, over-budget project, and the same distance is now showing up in AI initiatives, where dashboards and copilots get bolted onto systems no embedded engineer has actually looked at.

Wrong technology selection

Platforms get selected in a boardroom, without a Forward Deployed Engineer running a structured fit-gap assessment against how the business actually operates day to day. The result is a system, or a model, that looks right on paper and doesn’t hold up in production.

Low user adoption

Systems often go live without the people who’ll use them ever sitting with the engineers who built them. Our Forward Deployed Engineers work alongside your teams from day one, so a structured SAP Advisory approach and real enablement happen in parallel with the build, not after it.

Scope creep and delivery delays

Undefined project scope, unclear business requirements, and uncontrolled changes often increase project costs and timelines. Our Design Thinking services help establish project scope before implementation starts.

Lack of post-go-live ownership and support

Technology implementation doesn’t end at deployment, and neither does the engineering. Through our Application Management Services (AMS), post-go-live support, and hypercare, the same Forward Deployed Engineers who built the system stay embedded to stabilize it, resolve issues quickly, and keep improving it as your data and AI capabilities mature.

Our Delivery Methodology

How does BMCG approach a technology implementation project?

BMCG follows the SAP Activate methodology, combining proven implementation practices with agile project delivery and Forward Deployed Engineers embedded in every phase. This structured framework supports faster implementation, controlled project execution, and continuous collaboration between our engineers and your business throughout every phase.

01

Discovery

Our Forward Deployed Engineers run structured workshops directly with business and operations teams to document the current state, capture requirements, and define what the system, and increasingly the data and AI layer around it, needs to deliver.

What happens in this phase

Stakeholder workshops to capture business goals and constraints

Infrastructure and application portfolio inventory

Dependency mapping and integration complexity analysis

Risk and compliance review across workloads

Assessment report with migration readiness scoring

02

Solution Design and Prototype

We validate the solution through a working prototype, built by the same engineers who’ll deliver it, before the full build begins. Business teams confirm the approach before the project scope is locked.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you assess whether an organization is ready for digital transformation?

Our Forward Deployed Engineers start by sitting directly with your team to understand business goals, operating model, existing applications, data maturity, and process efficiency firsthand. We identify capability gaps, technology dependencies, and organizational readiness, including your readiness for Data and AI, before recommending a transformation roadmap.

Which platforms does BMCG implement?

We implement SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, and custom ERP systems, and we work on cloud infrastructure across AWS and Microsoft Azure. Increasingly, our Forward Deployed Engineers build on top of these platforms with Databricks, Snowflake, and Agentic AI tools, and connect systems using API and EDI-based integration.

Can BMCG modernize existing enterprise systems without replacing them?

Yes. Not every transformation requires a complete system replacement. Our Forward Deployed Engineers assess your current technology landscape and recommend modernization, integration, process optimization, or phased upgrades, including the data and AI capabilities you can layer on, where they provide greater business value than a full replacement.

How long does a technology implementation project take?

It depends on how many processes are in scope, how complex the data is, and how many systems need to be connected. Our Forward Deployed Engineers set a clear timeline during the first stage of the project, after reviewing the current setup and agreeing on what needs to be delivered.

How do you prioritize digital transformation initiatives across multiple business functions?

We evaluate each initiative based on business impact, implementation complexity, technology dependencies, expected ROI, and organizational readiness, including where Data and AI can move the needle fastest. This helps create a phased roadmap that delivers measurable value while reducing implementation risk.

Do you provide support after implementation and go-live?

Yes. We provide hypercare immediately after deployment, followed by Application Management Services (AMS) that include incident management, performance monitoring, system enhancements, release support, and continuous optimization, delivered by the same Forward Deployed Engineers who built the system.

What industries does BMCG work in?

We work with clients in manufacturing, FMCG, distribution, logistics, retail, and industrial sectors. Most of our project experience sits within SAP SD, MM, FI, and QM processes across these industries, and it’s where we’re increasingly embedding Data and AI capabilities as well.

How is BMCG different from a large consulting firm?

Our projects are led by Forward Deployed Engineers from start to finish, senior consultants who work embedded inside your business, not from behind a requirements document. The people who design the solution are the same ones who build and deploy it. There is no handoff between teams, which keeps decisions consistent and accountability clear throughout the project.
