Company

CSG Software was founded in Portland, Oregon, in the summer of 2001 to establish best-in-practice industry methods for the implementation and use of SAP Technology.


We have an unmatched leadership team that brings together over 100 years of industry supply chain experience in program management, design and innovation, and technical development. For the last 22 years we have worked to develop strategies for high ROI projects and outcomes that serve our customer at the highest levels.


The apex of that work has been the development and trademark of the Lightning Migration methodology for S/4HANA. We prioritize leading with technology, speed to delivery and empowering your team. Our practice focuses exclusively on the use of native tools in the S/4 platform to enable your business teams to build digital transformation requirements with a working system and your own data.
We want to shift the paradigm of the SAP implementation to a more parallel, dynamic and activated experience.

And we would love to share that journey together !
