QUANTO BEST provides a structured entry into your S/4HANA transformation, beginning with a comprehensive analysis phase and foundational workshops.
We collaborate with you to assess your system’s current state (including SAP Readiness Check and ABAP Test Cockpit) and understand your organization’s starting point—from goals and expectations to requirements, existing challenges, and key milestones.
You’ll receive a thorough evaluation of your current state alongside the most suitable transformation approach, initial resource and cost estimates, a proposed project roadmap, and recommendations for specialized workshops to refine your implementation phase.
QUANTO BEST - auf Basis von SAP Activate
With our modules for S/4HANA transformation, we ensure a goal-oriented analysis phase to set up your project strategically.
We begin with a joint overview and goal-setting workshop focused on your most relevant questions, complemented by additional foundational building blocks.
S/4HANA Transformation Projects: Typical Challenges & Tasks
Only those who know the hurdles can master them
Data
One of the biggest risks for a successful greenfield or hybrid project is provisioning data in the new S/4HANA system. Selection, download, transformation, upload, and quality assurance are critical steps whose competent execution has a major impact on rapid and successful project progress. Particularly in the area of data migration, we can draw on decades of expertise to eliminate project risks.
Complexity
Transformation projects don’t just appear vast and complex — they truly are. That’s why it’s essential to systematize tasks, divide the project into manageable phases, approach both the overall project and its phases iteratively, and enforce continuous project governance across all aspects.
User Acceptance & Stakeholder Alignment
Early hands-on work in the system, along with active participation and experience of the processes by users, leads to significantly higher acceptance of the new system already in the early project phase. Stakeholders and process owners are part of the project team, the implementation, and the success from the very beginning. Process shortcomings are identified early and can be addressed immediately.
On-Premises or Cloud
In most projects, companies opt for an on-premises approach. There are many concerns regarding data sovereignty, security, custom developments, costs and depreciation, regulatory requirements, and more. Nevertheless, it is essential to thoroughly evaluate whether a cloud solution might still be a viable option. Depending on the company’s goals and requirements, it may in fact be the more sensible alternative. Moreover, the overall trend is unmistakable — building cloud expertise is therefore indispensable.
Goals
The transformation to S/4HANA is far more than just a system change. Companies lay the foundation for how they want to manage and further develop their business processes over the next decade.
A clear definition of objectives — that is, the answer to what is essential to secure and increase the company’s productivity — is a critical success factor for the transformation project.
We actively support our clients in collaboratively defining these goals and setting the course for a sustainable transformation.
Chances
Transformation means change — not keeping everything as it is. A transformation project is therefore an opportunity to reassess potentially outdated processes, optimize them, or, if necessary, retire them to make room for new, more efficient workflows that better support the company’s objectives. We support you with expertise and best practices.
Requirements & Processes
A lack of clarity in the requirements for the new system — caused by organizational opacity, differing goals and expectations across business units, and insufficient expertise in mapping and transferring business processes into an IT landscape — can hinder or even prevent productive use of the new system.
Through an agile approach to requirements engineering and process implementation and extension, combined with close support of users throughout the change process, we ensure that requirements are identified early and comprehensively, processes are consistently mapped, and acceptance of the new solution is high.
Documentation
Complete and audit-proof documentation of all tasks, decisions, progress, and developments is essential for both traceability and the ability to further develop the system. As part of a professional approach, comprehensive documentation of your project is therefore a matter of course for us.
