Our Approach
Exemplary project plan of one of our clients
Duration
We normally need around 2-3 month to finish our SAP S/4HANA feasibility study. However, the exact duration depends on the scope determined at the beginning of the feasibility study.
Phases and Workshops
In a period of 12 weeks, we went through a total of 14 one-day workshops with our customer. Focus of the feasibility study was the redesign of the business processes. We focused on these processes: Order-to-Cash, Source-to-Pay and Record-to-Report.
We run through 5 different phases - Kick-Off, Processual Design, Change Management and Next Steps Phase.
