SAP is not rocket science
– honest.
The path to your S/4HANA migration
According to SAP release planning, every existing SAP ERP solution must be migrated to S/4HANA by 2027. Take advantage of our experience and make this system transformation as uncomplicated, secure and resource-saving as possible.
S/4HANA Readiness
Check from SAP
One thing is clear, only the free technical check on your SAP system does not put you in a position to decide on feasibility, effort and procedure.
That’s why we are developing a roadmap for them that has it all. The S/4HANA Readiness Check gives you an overview of S/4HANA and the underlying system architecture. Our team creates a recommended action per item based on the “Simplification List” and the “Compatibility Scope”. You will also benefit from an introduction to SAP Fiori (SAP Fiori Launchpad) and S/4HANA SAP Best Practices.
The result is a project plan for the migration to S/4HANA with the fields of action, as well as a budget plan. Fields of action for process optimization as well as the potential for optimization through the use of new technologies or the return to standard functions (BPML definition) will be critically examined in order to be able to clearly assess the greenfield and brownfield scenarios. You will receive both a rough overview of the system and application architecture and access to the results of the ERP system scan (HTML access).
Preparation is half the battle - Customer Code doesn't have to wait
An important action area that should be worked through before the migration project is the removal of unnecessary custom code
According to a report by IDC, 40% of companies are concerned that the key challenge in migrating to SAP S/4HANA is migrating
of the custom code will be.
Therefore, they should use the time and opportunity before the transition as an opportunity to simplify existing systems and their enhancements and modifications.
We find the critical points for them and help them to check the existing custom ABAP code in SAP ERP.
The goal is to remove all unnecessary custom code to save effort
New structures are needed - the central business partner as a solution in advance
The switch to SAP S/4HANA requires some preparation in existing SAP systems. In order to make the migration successful, they should deal with the prerequisites early on. Another area of action that can be addressed at an early stage is the central business partner. This is because an essential part is the changeover to the central business partner as an alternative replacement for the classic debtor and creditor.
Rely on our years of experience in this functionality from industry solutions that have always had this feature. We help you to ensure that you not only implement this function technically, but that the data quality is also correct from the time of migration.
This solution can be done in advance in the Business Suite and save valuable time during a later changeover.
The project plan - shorter than expected
If all preparations have been made and there is a central ERP that is well structured and cleanly set up and in which there are no inconsistencies, the migration is then very quick and easy. The time schedule for the path to SAP S/4HANA is customer-specific and ranges between 6 and 9 months.
Those who do not want to switch to SAP S/4HANA immediately with all the consequences can approach the change for their company a little more gently by using a two-step process. Here, the first step is to switch to SAP Business Suite on HANA. This means that only the database will change for the time being – for end users, everything will remain the same for the time being, apart from a significant increase in speed. The second step, i.e. the conversion to SAP S/4HANA, can then take place somewhat later in a downstream project.
The conversion or the safe way to the Digital Core
One thing is certain, this migration clears the way for their new, digital ERP solution from SAP. With the goal of supporting your company in the digital transformation, the following advantages of this new ERP generation offer themselves directly.
You strengthen the competence of your business users with live information – with graphics and transaction – from all areas of your company for immediate action and reaction to changing conditions. Increase visibility into your digital supply chain and gain greater agility by leveraging machine learning technology for your logistics, manufacturing, and asset management.
The new FIORI interface, which they can choose to use, opens up a new application access for them: mobile, reduced, modern and usable without much training effort.
