Achieve the new SAP standard with maximum added value
and high speed
No company can afford a costly, protracted megaproject that lasts five to six years. Time is a critical factor, making the key question: How can the project be accelerated? Many companies are currently grappling with determining their optimal path to SAP S/4HANA. SAP offers two standard options: a new greenfield implementation or an upgrade/conversion of the existing system (brownfield). Both have drawbacks. A completely new implementation is too complex and risks becoming an unwieldy project that takes five to ten years, potentially leading to failure. On the other hand, a pure upgrade is expensive and does not provide efficiency gains or added value.
Why Choose a Selective S/4HANA Transition?
Flexibility
Another perspective is to approach it with agility. The selective option can be viewed as the minimum viable product for the S/4HANA transition. It is attainable, offers a quick feedback cycle, and remains ambitious. We advocate for an 80/20 approach, focusing on key areas for improvement rather than reinventing everything.
Cost
Cost is a crucial factor in decision-making, but the cost-benefit ratio is even more important. Compared to other options, the selective approach offers better cost efficiency and superior results, significantly enhancing the cost-benefit ratio.
Experience
The SELECTIVE approach has already demonstrated its effectiveness in large-scale S/4HANA transformation projects, including for our customer VIESSMANN. This success enabled us to assist the only industrial company in the world in achieving a global go-live on S/4HANA. Traditional methods have not yet proven capable of this.
Value
Digitisation
Digitization is a critical challenge for all companies. The goal is to streamline ERP boundaries to create seamless end-to-end processes across the entire landscape. So why spend time perfecting ERP processes when there is untapped potential elsewhere?
Focus
We believe that maintaining focus is a crucial success factor for projects. Therefore, we recommend a targeted approach rather than striving for perfection, which requires the involvement and activation of all areas, functions, and levels. This is the best way to achieve outstanding results with the existing organization.
