Three ways to get the best from your S / 4HANA migration
Moving to S / 4HANA will impact every part of your business . While a poor approach will create damage throughout the organization , the right one can drive the companywide transformation that is critical to create long-term value . The right approach involves three key elements :
1 . Purpose-led : The migration to S / 4HANA is an opportunity to reshape your business more broadly . Now is the time to identify or confirm organizational purpose and align this with the implications for individual processes , systems and people . This helps guide a purposeled transformation that achieves those end goals .
2 . Value-focused : The two most common questions clients ask as they contemplate their migration are : i .) how can we build a business case that stacks-up both now and in the future ? And ii .) how can we do this as cheaply as possible with the least negative impact on our business ?
We help answer these by realigning the process to the business strategy – identifying how much value can be derived immediately and how much more can be leveraged in the future . For example , better , faster data can improve some processes now , while building a future-proof technology platform will support the agile business model and workforce needed for growth . And , all the while , the core value of the company is protected through enhanced cybersecurity and compliance .
The migration to S / 4HANA provides a valuable opportunity to not only accelerate the energy transition , but reshape energy and resource companies into intelligent , agile organizations .

3 . Smart automation : Intelligent automation and machine learning can accelerate S / 4HANA migration , reduce costs and enable value to be realized far more quickly . Automated tools also allow resources to focus on transforming those areas of the business that can help achieve big-picture goals . Post-migration , automation and analytics facilitate ongoing monitoring of people and processes to support continuous improvement .
