Straten Consulting

What Straten Consulting does

Straten Consulting is a privately held, founder-led consulting and software firm headquartered in San Jose, California, founded in 2007 by CEO Jens Straten. The company operates in two tightly linked lines of business: proprietary SAP add-on software and senior-level SAP/management consulting. Its software portfolio targets narrow, high-friction pain points inside SAP ERP environments, most notably IDoc error handling (IDoc Medic Suite, with the underlying invention covered by US patent 10,007,651 B2) and code-free data export/import (Hyper Data Suite, comprising Exporter, Importer, and Viewer components). A third offering, the KPI Analyzer for S/4 HANA migration assessment, is delivered in partnership with West Trax. Complementing the software, Straten provides Management Consulting, SAP Consulting, and Startup Advisory services, often delivered through a curated network of senior independent consultants under executive oversight.

The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, distribution via the SAP App Center/Store, and a formal Partnership Program that includes global partners (SAP, Anaplan) and APAC regional partners (Accenture/ZAG, Skybuffer, Steady Consulting). Pricing is quote-based: software products are sold as one-time perpetual licenses on multi-year contracts with stated ROI windows of three to six months, while the KPI Analyzer is positioned as a usage-based assessment that can displace traditional $400,000 workshops. The company is an SAP PE Build Partner since 2010 and markets heavily on its certification credentials and the responsiveness of its senior consultant bench.

Structurally, Straten Consulting is a boutique operation with 1-10 employees, no disclosed external funding, and a customer base composed of large global enterprises (e.g., Nissan, Levi Strauss, Columbia Sportswear, Del Monte Foods, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bombardier, Vaillant). Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The combination of patented niche IP, deep SAP ecosystem integration, and senior-consultant-led delivery defines the company's economic model, while the small headcount and absence of disclosed recurring revenue metrics indicate a high-touch, low-scale operating posture.
