SAP S/4HANA

to examine structures and processes that have evolved over time, to redesign them and to create the conditions for the IoT topic with a modern ERP system.

Herausforderungen einer S/4HANA Transition:

  • Unclear data situation regarding the scope and procedure of a transition project
  • High workload of employees in the business department and IT, results in a lack of resources for transition project
  • Decision for a transition strategy under uncertainty
  • Time pressure due to expiring SAP licenses, mapping of new processes, customer requirements, etc.
  • Pressure to innovate

You know that you need to make the switch to S/4HANA - we'll show you how...

You need reliable project planning to start the project

  • Budget planning/approval of funds
  • Resource planning
  • Multi-project planning
  • Invitation to tender

We develop with you:

  • Project scope (processes, innovations, ...)
  • Timeline / roadmap
  • methodology
  • Costs, expenses (resources)
  • A key factor in project planning is the fundamental decision to choose a greenfield or brownfield approach (new implementation / conversion).
  • If you have already made this decision, we will use all available information to develop a plan. Our accelerator tools are used for this purpose.
  • If you have not yet made this decision, we will work with you to compile all the important information so that you can make the decision.
