03 / Approach
From implementation to operations
Continuous support across all phases – each with clear results and a defined transition to the next.
Seven phases
One partner. One plan. No disconnects.
Whether you bring us in for a single phase or for the entire program: every phase ends with robust results and a clean handover to the next.
Steering, not slideware – implemented, not just presented.
Phase 01
Pre-project & Partner Selection
Requirements clarification and pre-project for the digital transformation, preparation of the tender and RFP, and procurement-compliant support and selection of implementation partners – as internal project lead on the client side.
Phase 02
Setup & Program Steering
Program and project leadership of the S/4HANA implementation, selection of the project methodology, setup of the PMO and governance. Steering via SAP Solution Manager and SAP Cloud ALM.
Phase 03
Realization, Migration & Master Data
Sub-project leadership in logistics and master data, data migration via the Migration Cockpit and SNP CrystalBridge, conversion to Business Partner – technically sound and organizationally supported. AI-supported workshop documentation and automated E2E modeling in BPMN 2.0 accelerate process discovery.
Phase 04
Test & Integration
Building the process chains for testing and integration testing, steering acceptance – with the transparency on test coverage needed for a robust release decision. Test cases are generated with AI support from the documented processes; acceptance and test documentation are complete and seamless.
Phase 05
Cutover
Preparation, steering and execution of cutover activities according to a minute-by-minute cutover plan, rehearsed in dry runs – as the basis for a well-founded Go/No-Go decision.
Phase 06
Change, Training & Go-Live
Change management and communication across the entire program, development of training to prepare for go-live – so the organization is ready to act on day one.
Phase 07
Hypercare, CCoE & Operations
Support during the hypercare phase, setup of a CCoE based on the SAP standard and orderly handover to ongoing operations – including AMS support.
