SAP BW Consulting

What SAP BW Consulting does

SAP BW Consulting, Inc. is a private, principal-led boutique consulting firm founded in 2008 that delivers SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW), SAP HANA, and SAP BusinessObjects implementation, optimization, and reporting-strategy services to enterprise customers that have already deployed SAP ERP. The firm is led by Lonnie D. Ayers, whose combined credentials — PMP, SAP Senior Project Manager, SAP Certified Industry Principal, Balanced Scorecard Certified Graduate, and HubSpot Master Certified Partner — anchor the firm's positioning around strategy-first SAP delivery. Core technology engagement spans SAP BW on HANA, BOBJ Webi/Dashboards, SAP xCelsius/Design Studio, ASAP methodology, balanced scorecard development, and enterprise reporting strategy. The client base is heavily skewed to large enterprises in regulated and capital-intensive verticals, with named logos including Medtronic, United Technologies, Chevron, Saudi Aramco, the U.S. Army, Johnson Controls, and Microsoft (Rome, Italy); however, several engagements appear to be small/individual in scale, indicating a long-tail engagement mix.

The firm's go-to-market combines a proprietary inbound marketing engine (an extensive 400+ topic blog, HubSpot-powered marketing automation, a free SAP BW Project Estimator tool used 500+ times, a published best-selling book, and a podcast/speaking presence) with consultative sales closed directly by the principal. Adjacent to core SAP work, the firm sells three other revenue streams: (i) HubSpot inbound marketing and CRM implementation services, (ii) Google Ads/PPC management under which it has managed over $6M in client ad-spend in two years, and (iii) Shopify e-commerce consulting. The fourth stream is IT staffing and talent placement, operated through mapertunity.com, a proprietary two-sided job board and consultant-profile marketplace. All engagements are quote-based project or staff-augmentation work; there is no disclosed SaaS, subscription, or recurring managed-service revenue model, which is material to revenue durability. The firm operates from a U.S. base (Indiana area code 812) with opportunistic international delivery and is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors.
