Who We Are

Our principals founded Summit Consulting Group out of a desire to assist organizations to perform better. Between them, our principals have worked directly on SAP technology for more than 40 years, perfecting it and watching it grow. Still, something was missing. It was the aspiration to see its implementation in practice and ensure more seamless execution. In short, we wanted to help clients yield the greatest benefits this technology had to offer.
