2. Preparing financial statements: smart reporting data and innovative finance technology
The problem The solution The resultsJustifying the move to SAP S/4HANA can be a difficult task for many organizations currently running ECC 6 (ERP Central Component).
While SAP has developed and released many significant new capabilities in S/4HANA, the path and method to get there have not changed with the times.
Most S/4HANA migration and transformation projects still require people to:
• Configure (or re-configure) SAP
• Translate, transform and migrate data
• Assess and re-mediate custom development
• Review impacts on security roles and process controls
• Test, reconcile and validate the migration from ECC 6 to S/4HANA
As a result, a migration or transformation business case must overcome the challenges of:
Digital Reader
The Digital Reader performs all of the data extraction from existing ECC 6 instances in a massively parallel execution mode
Digital Writer
The Digital Writer performs all of the transaction processing, data entry, and configuration creation in the new S/4HANA environment
Digital Talker
The Digital Talker provides real-time status, performance and exception reporting on all aspects of the migration or transformation program
Digital Thinker
The Digital Thinker provides all of the transformation and reconciliation direction, and judgment to the team members listed above
Significantly less time to move toS/4HANA (migration orre-implementation)
Significantly less cost to move to S/4HANA (migration orre-implementation)
Fewer people required to migrate to S/4HANA (internal and external)
Ability to focus differentiated spend on areas that drive real value
Ability to migrate/transform to a cloud environment as part of the automated solution
More time and resources to focus on design and deployment — the activities that drive actual benefit
Project timelines measured in years
Commitment of scarce resources (both internal and external) throughout the entire project lifecycle
Capital and expense costs in the tens and hundreds of millions
