Digital Transformation Consulting for US & EU Mid-Market and Enterprise

Pragmatic digital transformation that actually ships — cloud migration, legacy modernisation, AI integration, data platform builds, and ERP rationalisation, delivered as a single continuous engagement rather than a strategy hand-off. The differentiator is simple: we are engineers, not management consultants. Every recommendation in our discovery deck arrives with an executable plan, a fixed-price pilot statement of work, and the same team that wrote the strategy ready to ship it.

Most transformation programmes fail because strategy and execution sit in different buildings — a senior partner sells the deck, a different and usually less senior team implements it twelve months later, and by then the assumptions have shifted. We compress that gap. A small joint team — an architect, two engineers, and a product lead — starts by mapping your current state, then identifies the highest-ROI bets (typically a legacy application to modernise, a cloud migration, an AI integration into a real workflow, or a data platform that unlocks two downstream use cases) and ships a thin end-to-end slice in 8–12 weeks before any scale-phase budget is committed. Strategy and delivery are the same engagement, with the same people, from week one.

Transformation areas we cover

Cloud migration

Lift-and-shift, replatform, or refactor — on AWS, Azure, or GCP. We choose the mode per workload based on TCO, regulatory scope, and product roadmap, and we own the migration end-to-end from landing zone to cutover.

Legacy modernisation

COBOL, Delphi, classic ASP, and .NET Framework moved onto modern stacks. Monolith decomposition into bounded services where it pays back, not by default. Strangler-fig migrations that keep the lights on through the cutover.

Data platform

Data lakes, warehouses, governance, and BI on Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery. Pipelines on Fivetran and dbt. We design for the two or three concrete use cases that unlock value, not a generic platform that lands without consumers.

AI integration

LLM features, RAG pipelines, and AI agents wired into your real systems — CRM, ERP, ticketing, knowledge bases — not standalone chatbot demos. Eval suites, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop where the operating risk requires it.

ERP/CRM rationalisation

SAP, Salesforce, and Workday consolidation across business units after M&A or organic sprawl. We work alongside your prime SI on the configuration side and own the custom integrations, data migration, and adoption tracking.

Developer productivity

CI/CD overhaul, platform engineering, internal developer platforms, and DORA-metric baselines. Faster, safer deployments and a measurable lift in lead time and change-failure rate within one quarter.

How we run transformation engagements

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Four to six weeks. Current-state architecture and integration map, value-stream map of the top business processes in scope, and a ranked list of transformation bets scored on ROI, time-to-value, risk, and dependency.

  2. 02

    Pilot

    Eight to twelve weeks. The same team ships the highest-ROI slice end-to-end — production deployment, real users, measurable outcomes — under a fixed-price statement of work agreed at the end of discovery.

  3. 03

    Scale

    Apply the pilot pattern to the rest of the portfolio. We expand the squad, codify the playbook, and train your in-house engineers and product team to run the same pattern without us on the next wave.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Managed delivery on the rolled-out workloads, or a clean staff handover with runbooks, ADRs, and a 90-day support window. You choose — we have no incentive to stay longer than you need us.

Engagement models

Discovery + Roadmap

Fixed price, 4–6 weeks. Current-state map, ranked bets, 12–18 month roadmap, and a fixed-price pilot statement of work. Defensible to a CFO, not just a CIO.

Pilot

Fixed price, 8–12 weeks. The highest-ROI slice shipped end-to-end into production with measurable adoption metrics tracked for the first eight weeks after go-live.

Continued Execution

Time-and-materials or a long-running dedicated team. Scale the pilot pattern across the rest of the portfolio, co-deliver with your internal team, or hand over cleanly.

Why US & EU operators pick YuSMP for transformation

GDPR-aligned · ISO 27001 ready · SOC 2 Type II in progress · HIPAA-capable · CCPA-acknowledged

Engineers, not slide decks

The same architect and engineers who write the strategy ship the pilot. No handover from a senior partner to a less senior delivery team months later, no incentive to inflate scope.

Pilot before scale

No multi-year programme commitments before a measurable outcome. A fixed-price pilot lands real value in 8–12 weeks, and the scale-phase budget is committed against demonstrated results, not slideware.

GDPR + ISO 27001 + SOC 2 baked in

Engineers under EU contracts on managed endpoints, EU data residency · US options on request, DPAs on request, ISO 27001-aligned controls, SOC 2 Type II in progress, CCPA-acknowledged for US consumer data.

For payments workloads we run inside PCI DSS scope and coordinate with your QSA; for healthcare workloads we run HIPAA-capable engagements with BAA in place where applicable.

Frequently asked questions

How is your transformation consulting different from Big Four or Accenture?

We are engineers first, consultants second. Big Four and Accenture engagements typically separate strategy from execution: a senior partner sells a slide deck, then a different team — often less senior, frequently rotated — implements it months later. We staff one continuous team: an architect, two engineers, and a product lead who write the strategy and ship the pilot themselves. Every recommendation in our discovery deck is something the same people will deliver in weeks 5–16. That removes the handover loss and the incentive to inflate scope.

Do you write a strategy or do you also ship the work?

Both, and the second is the point. A standalone strategy document has near-zero half-life inside an operating company — by the time procurement signs an implementation partner, the assumptions have shifted. Our default model is discovery (4–6 weeks, fixed price), immediately followed by a pilot (8–12 weeks, fixed price) where the same team ships the highest-ROI slice end-to-end. After the pilot you can scale with us on T&M, hand it to your internal team, or do both in parallel.

What does a discovery deliverable look like?

A discovery delivers four artefacts: a current-state architecture and integration map, a value-stream map of the top 3–5 business processes in scope, a ranked list of 8–15 transformation bets scored on ROI, time-to-value, risk, and dependency, and a 12–18 month roadmap with explicit pilot scope for the top bet. The deck is roughly 40 pages but the centre of gravity is the ROI model and the pilot statement of work — both written to be defensible to a CFO, not just a CIO.

How do you prioritise transformation bets?

We score every candidate on four axes: annual P&L impact (revenue uplift or cost reduction), time to first measurable result, technical and organisational risk, and dependency on other bets. Anything that cannot show measurable value within 90 days of a pilot starting gets deferred. Anything that requires a multi-year platform replacement before any value is unlocked gets restructured into a thin slice first. Typical winners are a single legacy app modernisation, an AI integration into an existing workflow, or a data platform that unlocks two downstream use cases.

Can you co-deliver with our internal team and partners?

Yes, and most engagements run that way. We are comfortable working alongside an existing SI, a hyperscaler professional services team, or your own platform engineers. We define interfaces clearly: which components we own, which you own, which the partner owns, and where the integration test boundaries are. We also write the runbooks and architecture decision records so that when we step back, your team and any partner can keep operating without us. No lock-in by opacity.

How do you handle change management and adoption?

Adoption is designed into the pilot, not bolted on afterwards. The product lead works with your business sponsor from day one to identify the 10–30 end users who will use the pilot output daily, runs weekly demos with them during the build, and ships an onboarding kit (recorded walkthroughs, in-product guidance, a written FAQ) with the pilot release. We track adoption metrics — weekly active users, task completion, time-on-task — for the first 8 weeks after go-live and adjust before the scale phase begins.
