Aglea

What Aglea does

Aglea s.r.l. is a Milan-based Italian consulting firm founded in 2003 that specializes exclusively in SAP Security, positioning itself as the only Italian company with SAP Security as its core business. The firm delivers three integrated service lines: SAP Security consulting (authorization design, SAP GRC Access Control, HANA and S/4HANA security, SAP Cyber Security, segregation of duties, and GDPR compliance projects); SAP Security Auditing (SoD, Basis, HR, and GDPR audits with remediation guidance); and SAP Security AMS, an outsourcing service billed via fixed monthly fee, ticket-type lump sum, or time-based consumption, using either client systems or Aglea's proprietary ticketing platform with SLA tracking. Technology delivery is grounded in deep specialization across SAP ECC, S/4HANA, HANA, Fiori, GRC Access Control, and SAP Cloud, underpinned by a proprietary 'simple authorization model' methodology and preventive SoD analysis.

Aglea's go-to-market is enterprise-focused and field-driven, with senior consultants delivering on-site engagements across Italy and selectively abroad for clients. Demand generation relies on a SAP Italia instructor endorsement, an SAP PRESS publication, active content marketing (blog, YouTube, monthly newsletter, LinkedIn), and participation in ecosystem events such as INSPIRE (EPI-USE, May 2025). The customer base spans large Italian enterprises and mid-market SAP users across manufacturing, media, chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, infrastructure, and digital payments — with disclosed logos including ABB, Ducati, Mediaset, Nexi, Autostrade per l'Italia, Sonepar, Zambon, and Granarolo.

Aglea operates as a controlled subsidiary of Horsa S.p.A. and holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and SAP GRC REX certifications. It is privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or public revenue figures; the firm is described as having 11–50 employees and maintains a second office in Turin.
