Successfully into the Fourth SAP Generation

Project and program management  
We offer you professional planning and control of your S/4HANA project. Freed from the constraints of our own implementation interests, we are 100 percent focused on your requirements to ensure the optimal design of your S/4HANA project. Together with a powerful team, we orchestrate your project activities and implementation service providers as project or program managers.

Master data 
Many companies are on the way to becoming a globally standardised organisation. Harmonised business processes based on central data and systems enable the fast adjustment of global production and development capacities to current market developments. We therefore recommend consolidating your master data before embarking on a S/4HANA project. We analyse your master data, then work together with you to develop – and help you to implement – a cleansing and consolidation roadmap. As a result, you start your S/4HANA project with a clean database.

Organisational transformation 
S/4HANA projects change not only your SAP technology, but above all also the underlying business processes. In conjunction with the current development of more flexible and agile working environments, management models and the understanding of the role of each employee are changing. Traditional training and roll-out measures no longer fulfil the associated requirements. That is why we support our transformation projects with specially trained consultants, who shape the cultural changes within your company using the necessary tact and intuition. In this way, we ensure that your S/4HANA transformation is also actively supported by your organisation.

Expansion and optimisation 
In many situations, it makes sense to first optimise and expand your existing SAP landscape before beginning the switch to S/4HANA. Typical situations include the harmonisation of production control across plants globally, the consolidation of worldwide master data, or the elimination of widespread individual solutions in your SAP system. We help you plan and control these projects so that you can then switch to S/4HANA without major adjustments.

Pre- and peripheral systems 
Today, almost every SAP system is embedded in a network of pre- and peripheral systems. Some of these systems are often nearing the end of their life cycle. Nowadays, the market now offers either SAP standard solutions, or more modern alternatives to other systems. Many systems still run over individual interfaces, to which middleware would be a better alternative. In many of these situations, you should first optimise and expand your existing SAP landscape before beginning the switch to S/4HANA. We help you to optimise your pre- and peripheral systems so that you significantly reduce the complexity of the subsequent S/4HANA project.

Business Partner 
Many SAP systems still work with Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable. As an alternative, SAP introduced Business Partner a few years ago, as a central master data object for all companies and individuals with whom you have a business relationship. The migration to SAP S/4HANA it is not possible without Business Partner. We help you to consistently merge the different roles in the Business Partner master data object. In this way, you create a stable basis for a trouble-free S/4HANA conversion.

Licence optimisation  
In many companies, the SAP licensing situation involves various individual contracts and follow-up purchases. As a result, the contract landscape seldom reflects actual licensing requirements. This leads to unnecessary additional cost or under-licensing. We help to analyse your licence portfolio, compare this to the actual needs of your departments, and optimise topics such as indirect use by adapting the IT infrastructure. The result that you receive is a bespoke SAP licence model which at the same time provides an optimal basis for your S/4HANA implementation.

S/4HANA conversion 
Product conversion or contract conversion is one of the first questions to come up in any S/4HANA changeover. But that only covers the contractual point of view. Start your preparations for licence negotiations with your business processes and IT architecture. Together with you, we analyse the needs of your departments and deduce your optimal licensing requirements over the long term. In a detailed review of the SAP landscape and pre- and peripheral systems, we optimise interfaces and functions in such a way that your licensing costs are further reduced. When combined with a decision on the conversion licence type, you start on your S/4HANA implementation with an optimal licensing model.

Negotiation support
Successful contract negotiations require a great deal of experience and intuition. The aim is to find an optimal balance between the interests of both sides. The key to a successful licence negotiation is preparation. The starting point is a solid target/performance analysis. This will give you your future licensing requirements. Together, we optimise these requirements, and define your optimal licensing strategy for the next few years. Using our experience of many successful negotiations, we develop a negotiation strategy for your SAP licensing requirement. We support the negotiations with SAP or a service provider, either in the background, or actively involved at the negotiation table. With our knowledge of many comparable negotiations, we help you to achieve an optimal price-performance ratio for your SAP licence agreements.
