Everyone is talking about the need to convert the SAP system from ECC to S/4HANA Cloud. The deadline after which the system will no longer be supported has already been set. But for now… the system works and continues to provide the required support. With daily operational activities and strategic priorities taking precedence… the SAP system update is often postponed.
MEANWHILE…
Do these challenges sound familiar?
The results of the conversion projects we have delivered show that a well-planned conversion to SAP S/4HANA Cloud offers much more than a system change. The benefits achieved by our clients include:
We know very well that moving from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a decision that requires the simultaneous involvement of IT, finance, operations, and the people responsible for the company’s growth, with each of these roles looking at the process from a different perspective and asking different questions:
How can we reduce technological risk, organize the architecture, provide the business with the required support, and prepare the environment for new SAP capabilities, including AI and automation?
How can we ensure cost predictability, justify the investment financially, and avoid losing control over the project?
How can we carry out the transformation without destabilizing processes, while maintaining business continuity?
What should be done so that the move to the cloud contributes to the company’s growth, readiness to use AI, and future business scalability, rather than being just another IT project?
In our approach to cloud conversion, we talk to all stakeholders to make sure that the conversion project addresses their business needs, helps achieve operational goals, and fits into the organization’s growth strategy.
In our approach, we do not recommend rapidly rebuilding all system elements at the same time. First, we help you transition from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA in a stable way, and then plan the next stages of process and architecture modernization. This way, we provide a fast return on investment and allow you to see the basic benefits in priority operational areas.
Assessment of the starting point based on pre-conversion analysis and DDA is the first step on the path to an effective transformation of your company. An effective transformation means one that delivers business benefits in addition to technological change.
If you have not taken this step yet, schedule a non-binding conversation with a Hicron representative, and we will explain step by step how to properly perform the analysis.
In the project for Leifheit, Hicron completed a brownfield conversion to SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud in 9 months for an environment covering 9 locations and approx. 30 add-ons and interfaces. The project ended with a planned go-live, without significant process disruptions after deployment, and the post-go-live support phase was completed after three weeks. The client emphasized Hicron’s technical competence and speed in identifying and solving problems.
We took the bold step of starting the project with a completely new partner from Poland, Hicron. The decision was exactly right. What impressed us most was the technical excellence and the speed at which Hicron identified and resolved challenges. In the end, it also takes courage to get started.
SAP Readiness Check provides an initial overview of the current SAP environment and the areas worth analyzing before moving to SAP S/4HANA. It is a mandatory starting point before a conversion project, but technical analysis alone is not enough to choose the right path.
At Hicron, we help interpret the results of SAP Readiness Check in a broader context: processes, data, integrations, operational risks, business objectives, and target architecture. This allows the organization to make an informed decision on whether brownfield, greenfield, or selective transition is the right scenario.
Do you want to find out how to interpret the results of SAP Readiness Check and translate them into a realistic conversion roadmap?
In SAP transformation, technology is not the only thing that matters. It is also important to have a partner who can guide the organization through change while maintaining control over the scope, schedule, and ongoing business operations and focusing on achieving the business outcomes of the change.
