Independent · Senior expertise
Matilla advises sponsors and executives on the technology decisions that define a program. No licence quotas to meet, no implementation bench to fill — just senior architects giving you a clear, neutral read on what to do next.

A fast, senior, independent read on where your architecture or program really stands — and what to do about it. The low-risk way to put our independence to work before any larger commitment.
The Independent Difference
Large integrators are built to deploy their own people and move the licences they carry. That model has its place — but it puts the advisor and the client on opposite sides of the table. Matilla is built the other way.
The difference is simple: an advisor with no licence quota and nothing to sell you but the right answer.
No licence quota. No bench of implementers waiting to be staffed on your project. Our recommendations are shaped by your interests alone — including the recommendation to do less, or to keep what already works.
The architect you hire is the architect who delivers. No juniors learning on your account, no bait-and-switch after the proposal. You get senior judgment in the room from the first conversation to go-live.
A second opinion before you commit. Oversight that holds your integrator to standard. Sponsor-side advisory that protects your investment — from someone with no stake in the build but your success.
About Matilla
Independence is only as good as the person standing behind it. At Matilla, that person is named — and in the room.
Max brings 30 years in IT and 20 years in SAP. He has worked both sides of the table — within the consulting practices of major firms and embedded on the client side — delivering across 15+ countries and industries including mining, manufacturing, oil & gas, retail, and financial services. Trilingual in Spanish, English, and French, he moves fluidly between executive and delivery conversations.
Matilla is led by Max and delivers larger mandates through a vetted network of senior SAP architects — each with 10+ years of SAP experience. Senior-level delivery throughout, with no junior bench learning on your account.
