Questions we actually get asked
Straight answers, in plain English. If yours isn't here, ask it directly — you'll get a reply from a person, not a form robot.
How do you use AI on my project, exactly?
Our platform, Cognixa, drafts documents — functional specs, configuration records, test scripts — from your workshop outputs, and analyses your existing systems. Every draft is reviewed and signed off by a named consultant before you see it, and any change to a system needs a person's explicit approval first. AI does the mechanical work; people make every decision.
Where does my data go?
It's processed onshore in Australia and is not used to train AI models. Every AI interaction on your engagement is logged, and we'll walk your security or risk team through the whole setup before we start — most clients ask, and we'd rather show than assert.
Are you an implementation partner or an advisory firm?
Both, deliberately kept separate. Advisory engagements carry no delivery quota, so if our advice is "you don't need an implementation", that's what we'll say. When we do deliver, the architect who scoped the work leads it end to end.
What size of client do you work with?
From growing businesses on SAP Business One to enterprises running full S/4HANA landscapes. Our deepest experience is with asset-heavy industries — utilities, resources, infrastructure — but the way we work applies anywhere SAP does.
What do you cost?
Senior rates for senior people — but fewer of them, for less time, because the platform does the repetitive work. On most engagements the total comes in well under a traditional team doing the same scope. We quote fixed where the scope allows it, and we'll always tell you what would make it cheaper.
Can you work alongside our existing integrator?
Yes — a lot of our advisory work is exactly that: an independent senior view across an integrator's plan, estimates or design. Integrators generally end up appreciating it, because we're there to make the program succeed, not to replace them.
We're still on ECC. Is that a problem?
Not a problem — a starting point. Cognixa can analyse your existing ECC system (custom objects, what's actually used, what can be retired) so your move to S/4HANA starts from measured facts instead of assumptions. And if the honest answer is that you should wait, we'll say so.
Who will actually be doing the work?
The people you meet. We don't run a pyramid — no rotating cast of juniors learning on your budget. Every engagement is led by a senior architect, and the platform covers the work juniors used to do.
