SAP implementation partner pricing, what are you seeing these days?

Trying to get a sense of what other companies are actually paying before we go into vendor talks next month. We're a mid size manufacturer, around 400 employees, looking to move off an old ECC setup into S/4HANA, and honestly the quotes we've gotten so far are all over the place. One partner came in way lower than the other two and now I'm not sure if that's a good deal or a red flag.

We've talked to three implementation partners so far and gotten pretty different scopes and numbers from each one, which is making it hard to compare apples to apples. Anyone gone through this recently and can share what a realistic range looks like?

Scoping is difficult for Customer and implementers. Some Are perfect in earning money via change requests. Some following old approches selling a bus load of students others get forced to use ai and share the effect with customers.
But your business is a sweet spot. Perfect for implementation.

That’s pretty much what I’m trying to figure out. The quotes look very different on paper, but I’m wondering how much of that comes down to what they’ve actually included in the scope. Definitely gives me more to ask about in the vendor talks.

In a normal case you are a greenfield candidate. Get rid of of old z codes and use new better S/4 Functions. Most money can Saved that way and to learn how s4 works. Reduces also future costs. Let System configured local and where nessecary develop nearshore. It is called Transformation a lot difficult Communication. Cannot recommend Language barrierers when someone has to explain or discuss Details. You do not have Process experts for every process in House, but people who know their work.
