Transform SAP landscapes
From SAP S/4HANA migrations using Selective Data Transition (SDT) to complex data projects for Mergers and Acquisitions, we can help you adapt to technology or business changes and transform your SAP landscape.
In the business world, change is inevitable. To thrive in today's rapidly evolving landscape, companies must be agile and adaptable. With the ever-increasing pace of technology and digital disruption, IT teams play a crucial role in ensuring smooth and seamless transitions during periods of change.
Events which can impact your SAP Production landscape include mergers, acquisitions, transitions (such as from regional to global) and sales of subsidiaries. These are complex, critical and time-sensitive, and may require the merging, deleting, reallocating or carving out of data. Moving to S/4HANA and the cloud can prove to be a complex, costly and risky endeavor.
EPI-USE Labs provides robust solutions, seasoned professionals and proven methodologies to assist you in staying ahead of the competition.
Business decisions which have a significant impact on your SAP IT landscape may require skills beyond the scope of typical organizational expertise. We can augment your project team with specialist technical skills, allowing your internal experts to concentrate on the broader business transformation project.
How to solve your SAP landscape transformation challenges
Simplify S/4HANA migrations: Greenfield, brownfield or hybrid
Moving to S/4HANA brings many considerations, risks and costs, and adds to the already busy workload of your IT and business teams.
Choosing the correct migration approach for your business needs when adopting S/4HANA is the first step in the journey. EPI-USE Labs offers a free S/4HANA assessment, providing a data analysis to give you further insights. We can also provide a more detailed functional analysis to give you both a technical and functional overview.
Once you are ready to make the move, we offer various options to support greenfield, brownfield or a Selective Data Transition (SDT) approach, or a combination thereof. With all these options, you benefit from our high speed, low risk approach.
If you are considering SDT, PRISM for S/4HANA provides a turnkey selective data migration service. Using a software-driven migration approach – leveraging EPI-USE Labs’ Data Sync Manager™ (DSM) Suite – means that the project can include some greenfield and brownfield elements. This enables you to assess more flexible data migration options, and to manage risks and avoid costs associated with a traditional S/4HANA conversion.
Transition data selectively (SDT) to meet business goals
S/4HANA is more than just a technical upgrade. An important consideration is to decide which approach is best for you when moving to S/4HANA, as there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.
Selective Data Transition (SDT) is an advanced engineered solution that aims at providing you with more flexibility to change the core of your system to adapt the latest best practices, while allowing you to bring the data you want to bring, as well as transforming it to fit the new system.
PRISM™ is a proven process which combines powerful SAP-certified software and SAP domain experts to accelerate your move to S/4HANA and the cloud. With PRISM for S/4HANA, you can create lean, secure SAP estates for faster innovation, and reduce your upgrade and S/4HANA costs dramatically. It’s a flexible, cost-effective solution to allow the adoption of the latest SAP technologies, and works with RISE with SAP.
Ensure seamless carve-out projects for mergers and acquisitions
Business changes such as divestitures, company splits, mergers and acquisitions have a significant impact on your SAP system. Divestitures and splits involve the proper isolation and extraction of the data related to the business being divested or a functional area being split off from the core system. And the complexity of business systems means that the integration of systems due to a merger or acquisition can be a significant challenge.
We specialize in extracting the right data and migrating it rapidly, to enable the transformation of the SAP Landscape. Our System Landscape Optimization (SLO) team – using a specially enabled version of the Data Sync Manager™ (DSM) software suite – is perfectly suited to implement these changes.
We have built a ‘bank’ of expertise and intellectual capital to draw on when your company undergoes a landscape transformation.
Our experienced consultants will oversee the technical phases of the project, dealing with all the complexities inherent in these types of projects. More importantly, our technology-driven approach can significantly reduce the end-to-end project duration.
Optimize SAP Technology Modernization
Why do you need to make sure your business has the latest technology enhancements?
New technology brings opportunities and creates more efficient ways of working; it may help you to deliver a service faster or to a higher quality. Ensuring your SAP system is consistently upgraded to the latest release allows your organization to benefit from the newest features, security enhancements, and performance improvements – and even leverage the latest in AI enhancements.
Modernizing your technology platform has the potential to not only save costs by leveraging open-source stacks, cloud offerings and in-memory databases, but also re-imagine your business under a far more flexible and powerful set of technologies.
We can enable you to optimize your SAP Technology by migrating to S/4HANA or SAP SuccessFactors, re-platforming and reducing the size of your SAP database.
Automate functional transformation in SAP systems
Functional transformations in SAP rely on making alterations to highly-complex, highly-integrated data models. Automation of these areas needs software solutions that can map highly-complex customized semantic data models accurately. Also, provide sophisticated performant ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) operations in a robust, auditable, repeatable way, to be able to speed up the rate at which change can be effected in SAP estates.
Transformations like this may be needed to support functional changes within the system, M&A/business changes, or as part of the business moving to a new SAP platform.
EPI-USE Labs’ Data Sync Manager technology builds and maintains an SAP sematic data model that is mature, and cover all major geographies and industries. Our technology stack includes sophisticated data ETL and reporting technologies that can be used for Production systems transformation, data privacy, and selective test data replication. Using these products, we can speed up your rate of change, lower the TSA (Transition Service Agreement) period on separation deals, mitigate your risk with regards to privacy laws, supercharge your DevOps and reduce your spend considerably on platform and infrastructure.
Re-align your SAP system with business direction
Businesses need to change direction with increasing regularity to compete in their markets, and an effective IT strategy is integral to success. SAP sits at the heart of many large business environments to run a host of core business processes such Finance, HR & Payroll, Supply Chain, Sales & Distribution, Manufacturing and more. Its excellence in business process is necessarily underpinned by enormous complexity, and effecting change efficiently is a challenge for any SAP user.
EPI-USE Labs’ experience with a large variety of projects can help you when you need to re-align your SAP system with your business direction. Our automated software solutions and complementary professional services leverage IP (Intellectual Property) to provide lean and cost-effective approaches for clients to optimize and re-align their SAP landscapes and data, ensuring that they can achieve the full value of SAP at a lower cost.
Data is one of the core considerations in re-aligning and optimizing SAP operations, along with process and code. Our solutions focus primarily on data and transformation. With knowledge gained from working with over 1,700 clients, we are uniquely well positioned to aid companies in changing direction more easily and successfully.
