Our S/4HANA value proposition –
the framework for your successful transformation!
Based on our many years of experience in the implementation of ERP systems and the findings from our successful SAP S/4HANA transformation projects, we at consenso have developed our best-in-practice transformation model S/4HANA@consenso.
With target capabilities, a best practice process model, a prototype-based approach and a benefit analysis, we take into account the essential elements of a successful transformation and make this part of our S/4HANA value proposition.
Are you ready for SAP S/4HANA?
We determine your individual transformability! With our consenso ReadinessCheck. Easy to use, highly efficient, pragmatic. And cost-neutral for you in phase 1. Together we answer the essential questions about the goals and contents of your S/4HANA transformation at an early stage.
We analyse your SAP ERP system and outline the measures required to ensure that your change from ERP to SAP S/4HANA will be a success.
Once the strategy, goals and planning are in place, we get started – with your S/4HANA transformation project!
Your SAP S/4HANA transformation is a scalable project and, with our support, can be perfectly adapted to your individual business strategy and objectives.
In the end, we decide together whether we will implement your transformation on a greenfield or brownfield basis or as a "selective transformation", i.e. as a hybrid form – and thus on the scope of the project and the resulting number of changes for your process landscape and the day-to-day work of your employees. But no matter which way you choose – at the end of your transformation project you will definitely be live with SAP S/4HANA!
However, that's not all: we enhance your processes based on our digitisation framework – in a future-oriented and profitable way!
The age of Digital Transformation and the opportunities arising from topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Big Data or Robotics must be exploited. Digitisation offers you the chance to stay one step ahead of your competitors.
We use the new technologies to enhance the established and perfectly integrated standard SAP processes and to extend the existing limits of the standard in a beneficial way. For this purpose, we use specially developed assessments helping us to select from our digital services portfolio the solutions perfectly matching you and your business ideas and to integrate them into your SAP environment.
We have outlined the essential elements of our digital activities in our digitisation framework.
Our
S/4HANA value proposition
BBased on our many years of experience in implementing ERP systems and our in-depth knowledge of your business processes, we at consenso have developed our best-in-practice transformation model S/4HANA@consenso.
S/4HANA@consenso –
our best-in-practice transformation model as a value proposition!
In the medium term, due to the discontinuation of SAP's support and maintenance, SAP Business Suite, on the market since 2004, will recede behind SAP S/4HANA in terms of its importance for SAP customers. More and more existing SAP customers are looking for and planning the path towards S/4HANA, but so far only a few companies have reached this objective.
There is a consensus that the transformation to S/4HANA is not just a technical release change. Rather, it offers the opportunity to (re-)consider fundamental questions about strategic guard rails and to-be capabilities, about the mapping of processes, the application architecture, and also the infrastructure – and to consider the answers in the future S/4HANA roadmap.
In particular, the transformation target picture and the associated question "How do we get from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA?" come to the fore.
Based on our many years of experience in implementing ERP systems and the insights gained from current projects on SAP S/4HANA transformation, we at consenso have developed our best-in-practice transformation model S/4HANA@consenso.
The challenges of the S/4HANA transformation are very different in the companies. Our experience shows topics/areas that we encounter in all implementation/transformation projects, and which are therefore taken into account in our digitisation framework S/4HANA@consenso:
- Complexity – Clear definition of the target picture via strategic guidelines, business process model and the capability map incl. prioritisation of topics
- "Moving Target" – Rapid identification of the essential scope through best practice process model and capability map; parallelisation of project activities in order to flexibly integrate new requirements
- Standardisation – Identification of standardisation potentials by use of best practices; usage of standard processes in all workshops
- Coexistence management – Overview of target components to identify necessary parallel operation; detection of the coexistence concept in the context of decision-making
- Change management – Cross-functional workshops with business and IT to involve all participants and affected parties from the beginning; accompanying change management, integrated in all work packages
- Integration – Integration management as a central function at program levele
We make digital transformation projects manageable, controllable and faster to implement. Our approach links the strategic guard rails with the processes, the applications and the infrastructure. And the documentation is also highly relevant in order to make the activities traceable at all times.
Our added value:
- We use our proven implementation method
- Our approach is based on deep knowledge of the addressed industries (especially retail)
- Our employees have a high level of process and SAP expertise
Free of charge for you in phase 1, our
consenso ReadinessCheck
The first step on the way to your SAP S/4HANA transformation:
Our ReadinessCheck answers essential questions for the initiation of your transformation project at an early stage – reliably and efficiently.
consenso ReadinessCheck -
the kick-off for your S/4HANA transformation!
Are you ready for SAP S/4HANA?
We determine your individual transformability! With our consenso ReadinessCheck. Easy to use, highly efficient, pragmatic. And cost-neutral for you in phase 1. Together we will find answers to the following questions:
- What are the effects of S/4HANA on your customer-specific program coding?
- How will functional changes and simplifications affect data model and processes?
- What are the optimisation potentials resulting from S/4HANA?
- How will your add-ons and business functions act under S/4HANA?
- What does S/4HANA mean for your user interface on SAP Fiori and SAP GUI?
- What are the effects on system sizing resulting from S/4HANA?
- Which approach is reasonable for the system transformation (green field vs. brown field)?
- What can the start of a real transformation project look like?
We review and analyse your SAP ERP system and transparently present the measures required to make your change from ERP to SAP S/4HANA a success.
In a time frame of approx. three weeks, we go through the following steps in phase 1:
- Preliminary coordination with the consenso experts
- Technical preparation of the consenso ReadinessCheck for S/4HANA and subsequent implementation
- Analysis and evaluation with regard to functional changes and simplifications of data model and processes (Simplification Item Catalogue)
- Analysis and evaluation of customer development objects with regard to necessary adjustments for S/4HANA compatibility
- Development of recommendations and derivation of measures for your transformation
- Presentation of the results as a basis for your further steps on the way to the SAP S/4HANA world
With the consenso ReadinessCheck we lay the foundation for your transformation. Based on this, and scaled according to your strategy and goals, we can plan and take the next steps of your transformation – from a simple HANA migration to a complex S/4HANA transformation project.
Interested? Please feel free to contact us – directly and personally or via the contact form below. Either way – we are looking forward to meeting you!
Together we plan your individual
SAP S/4HANA transformation project
Transformation projects are scalable!
So we make sure that your project matches exactly your business strategies and goals.
Your successful transformation project –
precisely aligned with your strategies and goals for the future!
It's good that transformation projects are scalable. Because this circumstance lets us plan a project together which, after its successful implementation, will precisely meet your business strategy and your goals and support both ideally in the years to come.
Planning doesn't take that much at all. By looking at your initial situation and the results of our consenso ReadinessCheck, we can determine your areas in need of improvement. Your business ideas for the future, our expertise in industry trends and technologies – together we will design your transformation target image.
Once we have this in mind, we can talk about the structure and goals of your transformation project and determine how we will shape your move to the new SAP world.
Of course, the exact nature of your transformation project depends largely on what you want it to be:
- Would you like to keep your processes to the greatest possible extent and does your current system - from today's point of view - support you well? Then the brownfield approach might be right for you. We migrate your system to S/4HANA without making significant changes, you keep what you have, but put it on a modern basis.
- Would you like to use the S/4HANA transformation as an opportunity to put your entire processes to the test? Then the greenfield approach will interest you. We implement SAP S/4HANA on a greenfield basis for you – without any legacy issues/systems.
- The " selective transformation" is a mixed form. You keep some things, and redesign some things.
No matter which type of transformation you decide on, with consenso you have exactly the right partner by your side!
And we can do even more! With our digital services, collected for you in our digitalisation framework, we enhance your standard processes and raise them to a digital level - future-oriented and beneficial.
Feel free to contact us, we are looking forward to hearing from you!
