R3D Consulting: Reinventing the Three Dimensions of the Enterprise

Eric Ibarra, VP-SAP Practice at R3D Consulting, loves to hit the slopes with his family and friends; he considers this a fun project that involves meticulous planning. “We start by selecting the most demanding and enjoyable route down the hill and plan the meeting point at the base,” affirms Ibarra. “With very few stringent rules, we ensure that we have fun, respect each other and the elements, challenge ourselves, and finally stay safe,” he adds. The same meticulous planning and caring attitude takes center stage, when he is leading R3D SAP Practice. “We consider our team as members of the R3D family and our customers are the extended members who take the downhill trip together with us, having a bit of fun along the way and getting to the end of the planned route. We celebrate at the bottom of the hill for few moments and then, take on another challenge,” explains Ibarra.

R3D stands for "Reinventing the Three Dimensions of the Enterprise," i.e. the human and operating environment, technology infrastructure, and business applications. The company is renowned for providing management and IT services, more specifically through its SAP Practice helping enterprises implement or improve their ERP environment. Clients’ needs range from a first implementation or adding new functionalities, consolidating an aging portfolio of applications or supporting an aggressive merger and acquisition strategy. We have proactively developed the tools, and methodologies to deliver successful global projects,” notes Ibarra.

“We have built our reputation in a strong set of values and we are proud of our ability to deliver on time, and on budget,” says Ibarra. “Our approach is built around three independent but related components to success—namely ‘R3D Talent Management’, ‘R3D Change Management’ and ‘R3D Quality Management. This is because we consider that investing in assigning the right, experienced consultant in the specific area is a key for us,” he adds.
