History

[edit]

The Config Team (originally Oneman Limited) was founded by Andrew Moses in 1994. The company grew from then and was renamed The Config Team in 2002, and currently has more than 200 employees.

The Config Team started as an SAP Consultancy business, helping clients simplify their complex SAP systems.

In 2009, The Config Team got its own SAP system and started supplying software solutions to customers. It was the first partner in UK and Ireland to be awarded SAP Recognized Expertise in Manufacturing status for the PP, QM, and MM SAP modules. The Config Team received this award from SAP for its Coding Control product.[4]

In 2019, The Config Team became partners for Honeywell Movilizer, a popular low-code development platform. Then in 2020, it became a partner for two other development platforms, Neptune and Mendix (owned by Siemens).[5]

The Config Team became a silver SAP partner in 2012 and was upgraded to a gold partner by SAP in 2020.[6]
