Frequently asked questions
How does Quality Management Solutions differentiate its SAP consulting model from larger integrators?
QMS maintains a permanent internal team of SAP Quality Management specialists rather than relying on contracted freelance consultants. The firm's founders, Carl Dunlap and Michael Krug, are recognized QM module experts who speak regularly at SAPPHIRE and ASUG conferences. This retained-expert architecture contrasts with the generalist-led, contingent-staffing model common among larger SAP integrators.
What industries does QMS serve within the SAP ecosystem?
The firm concentrates on manufacturing and quality-intensive verticals. Its disclosed industry experience includes medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and consumer packaged goods, chemicals, discrete manufacturing, and automotive. QMS has developed standardized 'Solution Set' best practices from repeated engagements across these regulated production environments.
Who leads the executive team at QMS?
The firm is led by founders Carl Dunlap and Michael Krug, each holding the title of Principal and Platinum QM Consultant. They are joined by Partner Brian Bishop, who oversees the SAP and enterprise IT staffing practice, and Rich Labbadia, who serves as Vice President of Professional Services after holding executive roles at Commerce One and AppNet. Operations Manager Gary Harris has managed consultant relations since 2008.
Does QMS operate globally?
Yes. While the corporate headquarters is in Incline Village, Nevada, the firm states its SAP staffing and project execution capabilities cover North America, Europe, and Asia. The principals have delivered over 50 projects for Fortune 1000 companies worldwide, indicating a footprint that follows multinational manufacturing clients.
What is QMS's relationship with SAP AG?
QMS reports a direct working relationship with the QM Solution Management Team at SAP AG. The firm's principals are consulted for input on the direction of the SAP QM product and in turn leverage that access when project requirements demand escalation. This bidirectional advisory channel is unusual for a boutique consultancy and reflects the deep specialization of its founders.
