A few things about MTC, said straight
During selection you’ll most likely ask these questions — size, reach, client count, the logic behind product choice, and B1’s future. Here we walk through them one by one.
Is MTC’s consulting team large?
Our consultant numbers are real and verifiable.
Among large SAP S/4HANA providers, our team isn’t big. But we don’t chase size for its own sake; we concentrate our people where we’re strongest, and every one is a seasoned SAP-certified consultant, fully focused.
Narrow it to SAP Business One, and among domestic providers our consulting team ranks among the top two by size. A consulting firm’s output comes from its consultants, so on B1 the team is amply staffed.
Are MTC’s “global locations” real offices, or just names on a map?
These are real, operating branches that can be verified, not names on a map. Since establishing our first overseas company, MTC US, in early 2016, we have progressively built teams, registered local companies and obtained SAP local-partner credentials in each market.
In every region outside mainland China, we have teams of local SAP-certified consultants — rooted in the local market, staffed by local people, serving local companies.
Can MTC actually deliver overseas projects well?
MTC has delivered projects in 17 countries — across Asia, Oceania, North America, South America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East — and we’ve gathered hard-won lessons along the way. That’s exactly why we know one thing well: although SAP ships localization for dozens of countries, it isn’t realistic for a single firm to cover tax-and-finance compliance everywhere in the world.
So we moved from “going global on our own” to “building an ecosystem and a platform” — which is how the LinkedWorld global partner alliance came about. Through LinkedWorld’s global reach and local certified consultants, we provide localized overseas delivery and support that responds in real time.
Only 350-some clients — isn’t that few?
On the number alone, 350-some isn’t a lot. But we care more about whether the number is real — these are clients we actually delivered for and still serve, and they include Fortune 500 corporations, listed companies and state-owned enterprise groups.
A consulting firm’s capacity is proportional to its headcount; we deliver one client at a time. Rather than inflating the number, we’d rather our client count stay commensurate with what we can actually serve.
Does MTC only understand the agri-food industry?
Our very first client was indeed an agri-food company (a McDonald’s China supplier), which is why we’re deeply rooted there. But “only this one industry” is a misunderstanding.
Across our published client cases, 65% are in manufacturing — both discrete and process, spanning equipment, high-tech electronics, chemicals & new materials, food & beverage, textiles & apparel, consumer goods and medical devices; and 52% are companies with global needs (foreign-invested in China, or Chinese firms going abroad).
Over 17 years we’ve built real delivery experience across discrete and process manufacturing, trade & distribution, consumer & retail, professional services, and cross-border expansion.
Why does MTC only carry SAP’s ERP?
There are dozens of ERPs worldwide; we chose only SAP because it’s more solid at the foundation: finance and operations are genuinely unified (one connected set of data, not two ledgers reconciled against each other), with mature built-in controls and compliance, statutory localization for dozens of countries and regions, and stable global R&D and ecosystem support behind it.
Choosing an ERP is a bit like choosing the load-bearing structure of a building — once set, you depend on it for the next decade or more. We’d rather focus on doing this one thing well than spread ourselves thin.
I’ve heard SAP projects get heavy, and upgrades are a pain later?
That’s mostly the impression left by large SAP projects. In fact SAP Business One was designed for growing companies from the start — relatively light, easy to pick up and quick to deliver, not a one-or-two-year mega-project.
The heavier burden usually comes from heavy custom development directly on the core system. MTC uses its in-house MERP business layer to handle integration, development and industry versions, keeping the SAP core clean — so later upgrades are far lighter.
Should I choose SAP Business One or S/4HANA?
SAP’s three ERP lines — SAP Business One, S/4HANA Public Cloud, and S/4HANA Private Cloud — are designed for companies of different sizes and stages. There’s no absolute better or worse, only what fits.
MTC holds the sales and service credentials for all three SAP ERP products, and has served quite a few clients who grew from Business One up to S/4HANA. So we won’t push one on you — after a proper conversation and assessment, we’ll tell you which fits your stage.
Will SAP Business One be discontinued someday?
Every product has a lifecycle — we won’t dodge that. But SAP Business One has more than 83,000 customers worldwide (2026 SAP official data), about 10 companies choose it every day, and new versions keep coming.
On a customer base that size, SAP won’t lightly drop support and R&D for B1. And even if SAP one day adjusts its investment, B1’s stability and global ecosystem would keep it viable for the long term.
What kind of relationship does MTC have with its clients?
We’d rather see ourselves as a long-term companion than a vendor who leaves once the deal is done — like the lead rider in a peloton who breaks the wind up front so you can ride the whole way.
Our very first client, from 17 years ago, is still with us today. MTC’s vision is to become a hundred-year consulting firm, so we treat every client seriously, hoping to walk toward each company’s own hundred-year milestone together.
