Automotive Navigator: Long Term Roadmap

We know that a consistent implementation of the company's development strategy can be difficult, and some obstacles stand in the way of the development of a stable Automotive business. Vision Architect Solution Maker is a slogan which best describes how we operate at Hicron. We proactively support our Automotive Clients as experienced consultants and programmers who handle a complex set of IT tools.

Conversion to S/4HANA

Conversion of the SAP system to the new version provides an opportunity to use effective tools which accelerate the conducted processes and simplify the IT infrastructure. The migration itself, however, is a multi-stage activity, which should begin with a thorough analysis of business goals, and then confronting what the system has to offer with the current processes in the company. We create roadmaps for our Automotive clients, and based on them, we suggest how to best prepare for the transition to S/4HANA and how to do it. Our scenarios include the expected implementation time and budget, as well as the recommended, optimal conversion path. The SAP S/4HANA implementation strategy developed by us ensures that the right course of action is taken and enables the effective achievement of business goals. We also have our own set of applications, Hicron Fiori for Automotive, which constitutes an expansion of the standard SAP for Automotive with WTY, VMS, DBM or Dealer Portal modules, previously only available in SAP ECC 6.0.

Rollouts

A rollout of the SAP system from the head office to subsidiaries of the company fosters unification of business processes across the group. In addition to the many benefits it brings especially in the areas of logistics and finance, it brings with it some challenges – while planning a rollout to a given country, its legal specifics should be taken into account. At Hicron we prepare the template for the head office, identifying optimization possibilities of the existing processes. Next, having regard to local regulations, including the need for adjustments in the legal and financial areas, we present the template solution implementation plan in all units of the company. Thanks to our original methodology and international experience, we know how to conduct a rollout efficiently and safely. Our biggest rollout for Automotive included the preparation of the rollout template, implementation in the head office and rollout to companies in 17 countries. Additionally, we provide support after the launch, making the necessary corrections and preparing company employees for further operation with the SAP system.
