For sev\u00ader\u00adal years already, S\/4HANA<\/a><\/strong> has been a buzz\u00adword in SAP<\/a><\/strong> user orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions. Few years ago, the dis\u00adcus\u00adsion themes were only at the lev\u00adel of thought, but this year, tran\u00adsi\u00adtion to S\/4HANA will be real\u00adi\u00adty for sev\u00ader\u00adal enter\u00adpris\u00ades. First S\/4HANA tran\u00adsi\u00adtion projects have been eye open\u00aders for many deci\u00adsion mak\u00aders. Soon it is time to make deci\u00adsions also in your organization.<\/span><\/p>\n We decid\u00aded to start a blog series where we describe the avail\u00adable sce\u00adnar\u00adios for S\/4HANA tran\u00adsi\u00adtion. We will walk through the three dif\u00adfer\u00adent tran\u00adsi\u00adtion sce\u00adnar\u00adios in detail and inves\u00adti\u00adgate, what each sce\u00adnario entails from the orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions and from their exist\u00ading SAP systems.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201dMany orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions won\u00adder how to take the first steps towards the S\/4HANA gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion. There are sev\u00ader\u00adal options and there\u00adfore it\u2019s not easy to make the deci\u00adsion. How to trans\u00adfer the cur\u00adrent sys\u00adtem to S\/4HANA? What about the cur\u00adrent SAP process\u00ades, do we trans\u00adfer them at all? Do we want the solu\u00adtion to run on on-premise infra\u00adstruc\u00adture, pri\u00advate or pub\u00adlic cloud or per\u00adhaps in a hybrid land\u00adscape? What is the most suit\u00adable option for our orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion and how can we get a grasp on all the dif\u00adfer\u00adent options?<\/span><\/p>\n Future busi\u00adness needs, exist\u00ading busi\u00adness process\u00ades, tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy and sys\u00adtem archi\u00adtec\u00adture deter\u00admine most\u00adly the right choice of tran\u00adsi\u00adtion sce\u00adnario. The orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion must select how exten\u00adsive\u00adly the cur\u00adrent process\u00ades will be kept and delib\u00ader\u00adate on the new oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties, that the sys\u00adtem change unleash\u00ades for the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n The scope and scale of the project must be under\u00adstood thor\u00adough\u00adly before mak\u00ading the first deci\u00adsion. How exten\u00adsive will the project be and how it should be resourced inter\u00adnal\u00adly? What are the risks in the project and how can we mit\u00adi\u00adgate these risks? What are the things we must con\u00adsid\u00ader from busi\u00adness point of view and what are the tech\u00adni\u00adcal pre\u00adreq\u00adui\u00adsites for the project execution?<\/span><\/p>\n One of the major fac\u00adtors behind the deci\u00adsion mak\u00ading is the organization\u2019s future vision. What are the busi\u00adness needs that will define our future busi\u00adness and there\u00adfore also the solu\u00adtion? Fur\u00adther devel\u00adop\u00adment oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties need to be com\u00adpared to select the sce\u00adnario, that will ben\u00ade\u00adfit the busi\u00adness the most.<\/span><\/p>\n Tran\u00adsi\u00adtion to S\/4HANA is not only a tech\u00adni\u00adcal tran\u00adsi\u00adtion. It enables busi\u00adness dig\u00adi\u00adtal\u00adiza\u00adtion, the renew\u00adal of exist\u00ading busi\u00adness process\u00ades and the imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion of new busi\u00adness areas.<\/span><\/p>\n
