Localization for Hungary (HU) – a proven solution for legal compliance 

Implementing an ERP system in a new country brings both legislative and process-specific requirements. Hungary’s tax, accounting and reporting requirements are among the strictest in the EU.

Whether it’s an on-premise or cloud SAP solution, a standard implementation or a complex project with custom development, we have the experience to deliver it. We have worked with various versions of SAP systems, including SAP ECC 6.0, SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition. 

Projects in Hungary make up a significant part of our work. This gives our clients confidence that we understand both the local market and the legislative environment. The key to successful delivery is our team of consultants and developers, who can run projects entirely in Hungarian.
