Data Consolidation – your foundation for reliable decisions
Is your data scattered across ERP, CRM, Excel, or cloud systems? This fragmentation costs you time, money, and trust. With a consolidated data foundation, you create clarity: unified KPIs, less coordination effort, and well-founded decisions at every level.
Fragmented data sources hinder transparency and efficiency
In many companies, data is spread across different systems and departments without central control. ERP, CRM, Excel, or cloud platforms deliver isolated information that is barely connected. The result: inconsistent KPIs, inefficient reports, and lengthy coordination processes.
Often, organizations try to merge data manually: an error-prone, time-consuming approach that lacks sustainable structure. Analysts spend more time maintaining data than performing value-adding analysis. Different formats, models, and interfaces make integration even harder, especially in complex IT landscapes or after mergers.
On top of that comes silo thinking and the absence of governance structures. Without a consolidated data foundation, transparency is lost — and regulatory requirements such as GDPR or ESG become potential risks.
Conclusion: Data consolidation is not a technical side issue, but a strategic prerequisite for data quality, compliance, and sustainable competitiveness.
Our solution: Turning your data into a consistent foundation for decision-making
We bring structure to your data landscape and create a consolidated, trustworthy foundation for reporting, analytics, and AI. Our strength lies in the combination of technological expertise, industry knowledge, and change management experience.
Technological
We consolidate data from leading systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, Snowflake, Qlik, or Excel into a central data platform – for example, based on Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure. We create a unified data model, harmonize KPIs, and automate data flows. The result is a reliable foundation for reporting, ESG, AI, and operational management.
Methodological
From data inventory and harmonization to governance integration we provide you with templates, KPI standards, and a consolidated data model. Our structured methodology ensures that results are reproducible, transparent, and scalable – independent of tools or system landscapes.
Organizational
We support the transformation through targeted change management because new systems alone don’t change the way people work. We conduct interviews and workshops with all relevant stakeholders, train departments in working with data, and foster acceptance for new roles and tools. Our goal: to build data literacy, break down silos, and embed data-driven thinking throughout the organization.

Architecture Assessment – The starting point for your data consolidation
Before you consolidate data, you need to know where you stand. Our Architecture Assessment shows you how efficient, scalable, and future-proof your current data architecture is. We analyze systems, data flows, and governance structures to identify bottlenecks, risks, and optimization opportunities. The result: a clear roadmap for modernizing your data architecture and making it ready for consolidation, governance, and AI.
Without data consolidation, measurable inefficiencies arise: According to studies, analysts spend up to 60–70% of their time on manual data preparation instead of value-adding analysis. Reports are created multiple times, KPIs contradict each other, and decisions are based on fragmented information.
For mid-sized companies, the manual effort required for reporting and coordination can generate annual costs in the six-figure range — solely due to time loss, error correction, and duplicate work. At the same time, the potential for automation, AI, and advanced analytics remains untapped because the data foundation is not stable enough. From a regulatory perspective, things become critical as well: without consistent data flows, GDPR-compliant documentation, ESG reporting, or internal audits are barely possible. The risks range from fines to reputational damage.
From a strategic point of view, companies lose competitiveness. While data-driven organizations act faster, more precisely, and with greater customer focus, others remain flying blind. The result: missed opportunities, inefficient processes, and rising costs.
Conclusion:Those who fail to consolidate their data pay the price in time, money, and trust — both internally and externally.
Our methodology is built on a clear blueprint – from data inventory and harmonization to governance integration. We provide mapping templates, KPI standards, and a consolidated data model that is both scalable and audit-ready.

Without consolidated data, processes become inefficient, reports contradictory, and decisions slow. A consolidated data foundation enables transparency, automation, and strategic control – and serves as the foundation for AI, ESG, and compliance.
With the right architecture, SAP data can be seamlessly integrated into a consolidated data platform – and connected with other systems to form a reliable foundation for decision-making.
Data consolidation refers to the merging and unification of data from different sources, systems, and formats – with the goal of creating a central, consistent, and trustworthy data foundation.
