What process should you expect from your preferred SAP migration provider?

When planning a critical SAP migration, your preferred provider should present a tried-and-true process at the outset during your initial discussions. That plan should go into detail on ways they’ll manage all of the moving parts of migration, how they’ll protect your sensitive data, and how they plan to resolve more complex technical issues. Having a plan in place, and one that is shared and transparent, ensures you know what to anticipate from start through implementation.

This process most often begins with a meeting or several to discuss your current SAP landscape, to determine your goals during the project, and to define your objectives for migration. Next, your SAP migration provider should perform a deep dive along with all of the necessary tests and assessments needed to understand your technical requirements along with specific areas on which you would like to focus. Some examples of standard assessments include SAP right-sizing, security, infrastructure and hosting, custom code analysis, and resource estimation. Assessments might also entail a review of your software and hardware licensing, networking, and DR/HA.

Only after this is complete can your SAP migrations provider build a custom roadmap that details the full scope of the migration plan. You should expect this roadmap to include a business case to put everyone on the same page along with a detailed deployment strategy and breakdown of resources needed to successfully fulfill the given scope of work.

With a comprehensive plan in place, your SAP migration provider will be best equipped to manage implementation including licensing negotiations with SAP, solution integration, and backfill for staff to minimize business interruption. The team at American Digital has streamlined its process and methodology to ensure a smooth transition to S/4 HANA or HANA.
