Migrating decades of ERP data is a challenge. Inconsistent master data, duplicates, and legacy formats can create delays. The solution? Data governance frameworks and skilled data consultants who can prepare, cleanse, and validate data before cutover.
Most ECC systems are heavily customized. These bespoke processes rarely translate seamlessly into S/4HANA. Businesses need functional consultants and architects to redesign processes using S/4HANA best practices — minimising technical debt and future risks.
Modern ERP doesn’t exist in isolation. S/4HANA needs to connect with cloud platforms, IoT, and analytics tools like SAP Analytics Cloud. Skilled integration specialists and BI consultants ensure businesses don’t just migrate — they unlock new insights and value.
Technology is only half the battle. Users must embrace new processes and interfaces like Fiori apps. Dedicated change managers and trainers are essential to drive adoption, build confidence, and ensure ROI.
S/4HANA consultants are in high demand globally. From finance leads to solution architects, skilled talent is scarce. Businesses relying solely on internal resources risk delays. Working with a specialist ERP staffing partner accelerates hiring and secures the right expertise.
ERP programs often fail due to governance gaps. Building a strong PMO function, supported by independent assurance consultants, helps organizations spot risks early and keep delivery on track.
Migrating to S/4HANA is a journey that requires planning, the right people, and strong governance. By investing in data, talent, analytics, and change management, businesses can transform migration risk into long-term ERP success.
