Founded by Gary Jackson over 10 years ago, Aliter Consulting – a Bramble Hub partner – has its roots firmly in SAP. Gary remains actively involved in the business as CEO, continuing to work directly with clients where required. This founder-led, practitioner-driven approach underpins Aliter’s focus on long-term relationships, technical credibility, and delivery that stands up in complex, business-critical environments.
Growth and evolution of the Aliter team
Over the past few years, Aliter has experienced significant growth. The team has expanded from a small group of specialists to around 15 people, with further recruitment underway. This growth reflects both increased demand for SAP expertise and Aliter’s expansion from its strong foundations in SAP technical delivery into a broader set of strategic and operational services.
Whilst SAP technical services remain at the core of the business, Aliter now supports clients across a wider spectrum of services. This includes SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), Cloud ALM, SAP security services, architecture design, secure hosting, and managed support.
Trusted delivery across the public sector
Public sector organisations make up a significant part of Aliter’s client base. The team has delivered work across a wide range of public sector bodies, from local authorities to national organisations.
Although they cannot publicly name some of their key customers for security reasons, Aliter has developed published case studies with West Sussex County Council, demonstrating its ability to deliver tangible outcomes in complex, regulated SAP environments.
Aliter is frequently engaged as a technical authority or ‘critical friend’, providing assurance, stabilisation, and specialist input. Additionally, Aliter has supported UK police forces, large financial institutions, and other public sector organisations, often working alongside internal IT teams and prime suppliers.
Reducing technical debt and maximising SAP value
A defining feature of Aliter’s work is its focus on improving existing installations. Rather than advocating wholesale replacement, the team specialises in designing and modernising pre-existing SAP landscapes. This approach helps organisations reduce technical debt, improve performance and security, and maximise the return on their existing SAP investment.
This philosophy is captured in Aliter’s strapline, Run Better, Run Secure. It reflects a practical mindset shaped by years of delivery experience, recognising that SAP environments are often business-critical, deeply embedded, and not easily replaced.
Security, stability, and public sector confidence
Security and stability are particularly important in the public sector, where systems must remain reliable under pressure and comply with strict regulatory requirements. Aliter’s experience in SAP security, operational monitoring, and cloud-based SAP environments allows it to support organisations navigating these challenges with confidence.
By combining deep technical capability with an understanding of public sector operating realities, Aliter helps organisations modernise at a pace that balances innovation, continuity, and operational risk.
Trends in the SAP market
In a recently published review of 2025, Aliter identified a number of key trends, including:
- From transformation to control: Organisations are prioritising operational maturity and stability over constant change; this aligns with Aliter’s SAP operations and ALM
- Cloud as an operating model challenge: Cloud readiness is now about cost control, data discipline, and governance, supported by Aliter’s Cloud ALM, SAP RISE, and architecture
- SAP BTP as a core platform: BTP has moved into the critical path for integration and extension, reinforced by Aliter’s BTP design, governance, and clean core-led
- Operational maturity enables speed: Clear ownership, disciplined change, and visibility across landscapes are enabling faster, safer delivery through Aliter’s ALM and operating model
- Security built into how SAP runs: Security is embedded into day-to-day SAP operations, reflecting Aliter’s SAP security, monitoring, and operational risk management
Looking ahead: adapting to a changing SAP landscape
Looking ahead, Aliter continues to adapt to a changing market. Whilst the business will remain strongly services-led, there is recognition that product offerings also have a role to play: the team is currently working on various new initiatives, such as SAP BTP applications and AI use cases developed through customer engagements. Alongside this, Aliter is investing in thought leadership and attending global SAP events, bringing together perspectives from across the leadership team. This commitment to sharing experience and learning reflects Aliter’s broader ambition to contribute meaningfully to the SAP and public sector communities.
