MIGRATION
SAP S/4Hana
Upgrading ERP systems is essential to ensuring companies’ competitiveness. These systems can optimise performance while guaranteeing security and compliance with current regulations.
The conversion to SAP S/4HANA represents a delicate but necessary step in modernising ERP systems and taking advantage of the new functionalities offered by the SAP Suite.
This process requires a thorough project approach, starting with a detailed preliminary analysis and careful planning to ensure a smooth and unhindered transition.
For a leading customer in the Food & Beverage industry, SCAI FAST, a Gruppo SCAI company, applied its methodological approach for a correct preliminary project assessment to convert to SAP S/4HANA.
The company, which has been using SAP ECC for more than a decade, with the evolution of the market and the need for greater operational efficiency, recognised the need to adapt its SAP management system to grow in efficiency, security and competitiveness. SCAI ensured a smooth transition with no significant disruptions in day-to-day operations.The SCAI approach guided the client through the assessment by defining objectives, teams, and deadlines, carefully evaluating the IT infrastructure, and accurately estimating migration costs. Business requirements were established, business processes mapped, and a gap analysis conducted to plan corrective actions. The roadmap divided the process into reasonably implementable steps, supporting change management. The final review process ensured stakeholder alignment and data accuracy while training sessions and dedicated materials accompanied staff.
Close up: benefits
Migration to SAP S/4HANA, with the correct methodological approach and a preliminary Assessment, certainly brings several benefits including:
- Support in evaluations of future SAP implementation (Cloud vs On Premise).
- Optimisation of business performance and processes.
- Improvement of real-time data analysis.
- Reduced system complexity and operational costs.
- Migration without significant disruptions in business operations.
A well-planned and organised assessment for a conversion to SAP S/4HANA can minimise risks, optimise resources, and maximise the company’s benefits. In these cases, relying on a responsible partner with solid experience in this area makes all the difference in terms of competitiveness, efficiency, and security.
