SAP Thought Leadership

Strategy and Assessment

A successful SAP S/4HANA transformation is achieved through a disciplined focus on strategy and assessment. The approach must be well-defined and reflect the organization’s industry requirements, including processes and supporting methods. An initial strategic assessment combining SAP technical expertise, process exploration, and industry insight minimizes transformation risks, maximizes the benefits, and promotes speed-to-value.

Business expert Robert Filek aptly stated that “strategy without process is little more than a wish list.” When viewed through the lens of a successful migration to SAP S/4 HANA, his commentary finds its validation in an initial strategic assessment that can best combine SAP technical expertise, thorough process exploration, and industry insight. The blending and disciplined application of these elements early on can ensure that the organization will minimize the transformation risks, maximize the benefits, and promote speed to value.

In the case of an organization considering an S/4HANA implementation or migration, this strategic method, in the early stage, should further be applied in appropriate measure across the entire transformation landscape. Key focus areas should include implementation, compliance, change management, automation, analytics, global delivery, and a complementary partner ecosystem.

Organizations that adhere to a comprehensive strategy assessment and address the process elements in each pillar of the transformation landscape will find unique opportunities to increase the value of the SAP investment and favorably impact adoption overall.

Prepare and Empower Your Organization

The main objective of an effective Strategy and Assessment is to prepare and empower your organization for the RISE with SAP S/4HANA platform journey while proactively addressing technical or process concerns that might restrict a fluid implementation or limit scalability for succeeding improvements.
