C-suite – Make F.I.T. Your Purpose

Implementing S/4HANA Without A Vision

📌 A Common Mistake When Implementing S/4HANA

Picture this. You approve a major project to upgrade your company’s ERP system to SAP S/4HANA. The budget is signed off. The consultants are on board. The IT team is ready. Everything seems set for a smooth transition.

Then, reality hits.

Six months in, no one can agree on the project’s direction. The IT team wants to rebuild the old system in the new one. The finance team expects automation, but they still see manual workarounds. The warehouse staff struggle with new screens that slow them down instead of speeding things up. Meetings turn into battles over priorities. Delays mount. Costs rise.

What went wrong?

You didn’t have a clear vision.

SAP Activate vs ITIL 4

What They Do and Why You Need Both

Many businesses struggle with SAP projects. Some systems never go live. Others launch but cause problems later. IT teams often inherit systems they didn’t help design. Users complain. Costs rise. Nobody wins.

This happens when SAP projects and IT service management don’t connect.

Clean Core Pathway

Getting Ready for S/4HANA

Moving to S/4HANA may seem intimidating and, therefore, quickly leads to procrastination in making strategic decisions.

Transition to standard SAP (“Clean Core“) or
Like-for-like move and keep all the custom developments (“Lift and Shift“)?

Both choices have pros and cons.

What if you can apply the best of both worlds, combining “Clean Core” with “Lift and Shift”?

It is an option hardly discussed but very feasible. Read on to find out why.

The Data Migration Nightmare That Could Have Been Avoided

Introducing the concept of a Target Operating Model (TOM)

“Have you ever stepped into a project and immediately sensed disaster? That’s exactly what happened when I replaced someone who had burned out… only to realize I was on the same path.”

I walked into the project full of optimism, but that didn’t last long. My task? Deduplicate 10,000 business partner addresses.

The catch? Excel was the only tool.
