Proof Over Promise

Six months into an SAP implementation, a mid-market enterprise had no independent voice in the room. Their SI’s incentives weren’t aligned with their success. Local World stepped in as the client’s advocate — stabilizing the project, building a data governance strategy from scratch, and establishing the internal capability to sustain the system long after go-live.

What began as an emergency SAP carve-out to avoid contractual fines became a four-year, three-phase partnership spanning 87 placements. From divestiture through two global SAP S/4HANA rollouts, Local World grew alongside a global food manufacturer’s transformation — every step of the way.

A mid-market retailer’s SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud implementation was six months in and falling apart. Their SI had underbid the project, resources were rotating, and there was no independent leadership.

Local World stepped in, stabilized the program, and delivered a successful go-live on January 1, 2025.
