SAP S/4HANA Transformation
The migration to SAP S/4HANA is an inevitable development. SAP R/3 will be phased out, and the transition to S/4HANA will become mandatory for all users of this system. At 4C, we understand the complexity of this migration and the importance of planning and managing it correctly. Our expertise lies in significantly reducing project risks and professionally guiding your organization through this comprehensive transformation process. With our proven methodology and years of experience, we ensure that your S/4HANA migration is not only implemented but also sustainably successful.
Challenges
Challenges of SAP S/4HANA Migration
Migrating to SAP S/4HANA offers numerous opportunities, including the consolidation and cleansing of master data and organizational structures, reduction of custom developments, and the standardization and digitalization of processes and methods across the entire corporate group. However, these opportunities can obscure the real challenges associated with such a profound transformation.
Migrating the ERP system to S/4HANA is a complex transformation that impacts numerous business processes and carries significant budget, time, and outcome risks. In practice, we regularly observe how typical mistakes negatively affect project success:
- Discovery & Preparation: Viewing it solely as an IT project, vague goals and unclear transformation approach, lack of proper project methodology and governance
- Explore & Realize: Unclear responsibilities for processes, inadequate methodology in process analysis
- Deploy & Run: Insufficient rollout management and lack of business continuity measures
Without thorough analyses and careful planning, these challenges are difficult to overcome. The early phases of the transformation are critical in determining the success or failure of the project.
