In March 2021, the company appointed GAMBIT Consulting to conduct a preliminary study for SAP S/4HANA, a GAMBIT SAP S/4HANA Full Scope Roadmap Program, to find the right path to SAP S/4HANA for its own requirements and goals.
The joint project kicked off at the beginning of April 2021 and was completed six months later in September.
Ina Hofstetter, Head of ITM ERP at thyssenkrupp Dynamic Components: “We wanted to use the preliminary study as a reliable basis for decision-making and to indicate the best path to SAP S/4HANA for us, including the possible use of SAP Best Practices and the planning of effort, costs, and project organization.”
“The strategic view was very important to us. With the transition to SAP S/4HANA, we wanted to simplify and standardize our processes, consolidate the system landscape, ensure greater flexibility, and harmonize our data, thus ensuring that we enjoy long-term benefits from the SAP S/4HANA migration,” Ms Hofstetter explains.
Three migration options to choose from
In the preliminary discussions, GAMBIT identified three possible migration approaches, which would then be analyzed and evaluated in the preliminary study:
GAMBIT’s Roadmap program consists of consecutive steps that are designed to explore the different options. The results from the individual phases help a company’s management to make a reliable decision on the best path to take at the end of the preliminary study.
To this end, the program primarily answers the key questions of top management – about achieving strategic goals with SAP S/4HANA, for example, or minimizing risk when implementing a project of this kind.
