N-Bite Advisory

Every transformation starts with a clear view.

Up here, the vision is easy to see.

Diving into the details reveals what is still unclear.

Data ownership. Data strategy. Data fixes and uncertainties. Programme challenges arise.

We find the real constraint, then fly one line to the ground.

From data strategy to enterprise execution.

Boutique advisory and delivery for SAP, master data, governance and data quality. Senior people, hands in the real data.

N-Bite Advisory

From data strategy to enterprise execution.

Boutique advisory and delivery for SAP, master data, governance and data quality. Senior people, hands in the real data.

What we hear in week one

Sound familiar?

  1. 01We lost months fixing master data before go-live.
  2. 02The same data problems came back after go-live.
  3. 03Governance exists on paper. Nobody can actually say no.

None of these are tool problems. They are line-of-sight problems: the boardroom can't see the data, and the data team can't see the goal.

The first question is not "which tool?"

Find the real constraint before prescribing the fix.

Programmes under pressure usually change the technology or add people. We first work out which of three things is actually broken.

01

Strategy

Is the direction right?

Business outcomes, priorities, operating model, architecture principles and governance direction.

02

Execution model

Can it actually be delivered?

Decision rights, data quality, delivery methods, dependency on the system integrator, and who really owns the data.

03

Delivery capability

Do you have the people to do it?

Skills, capacity and gaps. Then a clear call: advice, targeted reinforcement or a full delivery team.

Not another strategy deck. Every finding comes with: ObservationRoot causeRiskBusiness impactCorrective actionRequired capabilityPriority

What we do

Boardroom clarity. Delivery-level depth.

Eight practices, one team. Pick the one you need today and add the rest only when the work calls for it.

  1. 01

    Transformation advisory

    Turn an approved strategy into a plan people can deliver. Assessments, roadmaps, operating models, programme recovery and a straight answer at board level.

    AssessmentRoadmapsSI oversight
  2. 02

    Governance and operating model

    Owners who can actually approve or reject a change. Stewardship, standards, decision rights, metadata and lineage, built around how you work, not around a tool.

    OwnershipStewardshipGovernance KPIs
  3. 03

    Master data and SAP

    Clean, owned master data for S/4HANA and beyond. MDM strategy, SAP MDG, Business Partner readiness, harmonisation and go-live support.

How we engage

Start small. Grow only on evidence.

No one should sign a large programme to find out what is wrong. Most clients start with advice or an assessment, and the engagement grows only when the work proves it should.

Step 01

Executive Advisory

A senior second opinion.

For CIOs, CDOs and programme leads who need a clear view on direction, delivery and value, from someone with no tool to sell.

Step 02

Transformation Assessment

Find the real constraint.

A focused diagnostic: is it the strategy, the execution model or the delivery capacity? You get the answer and what to do next.

Step 03

Targeted Delivery

Fix the specific problem.

SAP data readiness, MDM, cleansing, migration, governance, integration, analytics or testing. A defined scope with a defined finish.

Step 04

End-to-End Transformation

One line of accountability.

N-Bite builds and leads the team from executive direction through build, testing, adoption and a stable go-live.

Start with advice. Scale only when the evidence says so.

Straight answers

What leaders ask before they call.

Will we get senior people, or a junior team?

Dr. Yaniv is part of the executive leadership of every engagement, from the first conversation to go-live. When a delivery team is needed, N-Bite builds it around your problem, and senior leadership stays accountable for the outcome.

Do we have to commit to a big programme?

No. Most clients start with advisory or a focused assessment. The engagement only grows when the evidence shows more delivery is needed.

Are you tied to SAP or to one vendor?

No. We have delivered on SAP S/4HANA, SAP MDG, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, TIBCO EBX, Informatica, IBM MDM, Collibra, Databricks and Microsoft Fabric, plus BI applications and AI integrations such as Claude. The list is where we have been, not where we stop. We start from your problem and choose the tool last.

We already have a system integrator. Why add you?

Because someone on your side should be able to challenge the plan. We give you independent oversight of the integrator, the data readiness and the go-live criteria, so problems show up while they are still cheap to fix.

What happens in the first conversation?

You describe what is in the way. We ask the questions that find the real constraint. You leave with a clear next step, whether or not it involves us.

Dr. Yaniv was one of the very few who really understood the concept of how information life cycle management can help Business, IT and Legal to overcome their daily communication and cooperation struggles and improve time to market and increase corporate transparancy/compliancy.
