Transition Roadmap – Discover Phase

In the Discover phase, customers become familiar with the benefits of SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA and
the benefits it can bring to customers’ business.
As depicted in the figure, the phase is structured as follows:

2 ❑
1 In the first step customers should perform a Strategic Planning and create an overall company
1 strategy on their digital transformation. This includes SAP S/4HANA as the digital core, but looks at
it from a broader perspective. Key topics like Clean Core, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data / Smart
Data, Omnichannel, or Business Networks can be included into the strategy as well.

2 In the second step, a decision on the implementation scenario, and a comprehensive application
implementation strategy for SAP S/4HANA should be created in the activity Application Value and
Scoping. In the case of system conversion, the conversion readiness of the existing SAP ERP system
should be checked as well.

3 In the next step customers should become familiar with the value of SAP S/4HANA in general (e.g.
3 the new and simplified functionality in SAP S/4HANA, the new User Interface based on FIORI, agile
customer innovations using SAP Cloud Platform etc.). A Trial System in the cloud supports this.
The outcome of these steps can be leveraged within a company to build a business case for an SAP
S/4HANA implementation project.

Transition Roadmap – Prepare Phase

Once the business case has been approved, the project is initiated in the Prepare phase.
2
1❑ There are customers running a Prototype project in front of the real transition project. The aim is
6 often to check technical and functional feasibility. Prototypes are small projects by its own, and
3 usually last between three and six months.
1 4 5 The formal Project Initiation starts afterwards and needs to be aligned with the customer project
2❑
manager. In general, each company or implementation partner has a methodology to plan and
execute projects.
3❑ Project Team Enablement can be started early in the Prepare phase.
4❑ The project itself is planned in the dedicated Transition Planning activity. Depending on the
implementation scenario SAP offers dedicated planning components. Results from the Discover
Phase – in particular the functional implementation road map – is considered as well.
5❑ The planning workshops often reveal Transition Preparation activities (e.g. the “Customer Vendor
Integration” in the case of a system conversion), which have to be done before the Explore phase
starts. Those larger transition preparation activities can be handled as separate (sub-) projects.
6❑ A first workshop on Organizational Change Management starts.

Transition Roadmap – Explore Phase (1)

Once the Prepare phase has been finalized considering a detailed planning for the functional and
technical work streams, the Explore phase will be kicked off.

1
❑ In the Learning Design activity of the Solution Adoption work stream, the training strategy for the
1
end users is developed according to the functional design.
3
2
2
❑ In a new implementation, leverage SAP Best Practices in the activate solution activity.
4
3
❑ The to-be application is designed in fit-to-standard & design workshops close to SAP Standard
3
according to Clean Core. Gap validation and a final design review support this activity.
5
4
❑ For all implementation scenarios, security settings and infrastructure need to be adjusted. This is

6 planned in Security Design. UX Design plans the adjustment of Fiori Uis.

5
❑ In the Data Management work stream, data load from source systems needs to be prepared and
planned in the Data Migration Design activity (new implementation and selective data transition
only). Data Volume Management is either initially planned or updated according to new options
and requirements coming with SAP S/4HANA.

6
❑ In the Extensibility work stream, you will need to identify and prioritize the Custom Code Impact
on custom objects that are used productively, and that must be adjusted as part of the system
conversion project.

Transition Roadmap – Explore Phase (2)


7 Integration design work starts in proper alignment with the to-be application design,
to properly integrate the SAP S/4HANA system in the solution landscape. First basic
integration setup activities are performed for the sandbox (if required) and for the
development system.
8
❑ Within the Analytics Design activity customers can further enhance their analytics
infrastructure with regards to embedded analytics that have been introduced with
SAP S/4HANA.
9
❑ The technical design document is created in the Technical Architecture and
Infrastructure work stream. A Sandbox is created for technical and functional
experience gathering and as the basis for fit-to-standard workshops (it depends on
7 the scenario how the sandbox is created). At the end of the Explore phase the DEV
8 environment needs to be set up (again scenario specific).

9
10
❑ Operations & support run an Operations Impact Evaluation, to identify IT Support
operational areas that require adjustment to safely and efficiently operate SAP
9 S/4HANA as of Go-Live. The actions taken here depend on the SAP operational
experience of the customer.

Transition Roadmap – Realize Phase (1)

In the Realize phase, you start the execution and implementation of all items that were defined
and designed in earlier phases.

1❑ In the Solution Adoption work stream, the training for the end users is prepared.
1 In the Application design and configuration work stream, the functional changes (general
2❑
configuration, master data, and core / delta), Fiori changes and security changes are
2
implemented as defined in design. Additional applications, like Central Finance in a
selective data transition scenario, or the SAP Digital Boardroom, are set up as planned.
3 3
❑ In the Data Management work stream, data aging and data archiving are configured for
business objects according to the DVM strategy. Load and verification runs ensure that
4 business data can be migrated with acceptable time and quality.

5 4
❑ In the Extensibility work stream, Product Enhancements like reports, are developed.
Existing custom code is adjusted to be ready for SAP S/4HANA. SAP can safeguard the
activities via the “Integration Validation” offering, which covers key aspects like Business
Data Consistency, Exception Management, Integration, and Performance and Scalability.
5❑ In the Integration work stream, all required interfaces are implemented as designed in the
Explore phase. Further integration setup is done for the quality assurance system, and for
the production system (new implementation only).

Transition Roadmap – Realize Phase (2)

6
❑ The technical infrastructure is set up in the Technical Architecture and
Infrastructure work stream, according to the technical design document. The
transition of the quality assurance system takes place according to the detailed
transition plan, and technical adjustments may be implemented as part of the
activity. In parallel, the sizing of the productive instance is verified.
7
❑ According to the Operations Impact Evaluation, the operations implementation
(people, processes tools) takes place in the Operations & support work stream.

8 At the end of the Realize phase, the preparation for cutover starts. A cutover
plan is created from experience gained in former transition runs (potentially
additional mock runs are required).

Transition Roadmap – Deploy Phase

Once the quality gate Realize-to-Deploy has been passed successfully, the final
preparation for Go-Live starts in the Deploy phase.
❑1 The Learning Realization goes into its final phase, the end user trainings should run
1
during the Deploy phase.
3 4 5 6
❑2 Operations Readiness ensures the IT operations team is ready to operate the new SAP
S/4HANA environment safely and securely. Of course, the IT operations team will
continue to gain real-life operational experience in the hyper care phase after Go-Live.
❑3 After the test execution is finalized successfully, the Dress Rehearsal takes place (for
all scenarios) and the implementation of the productive SAP S/4HANA will be finalized
(for new implementation and selective data transition).
❑4 Quality gate “Q4 Deploy-to-Run” will ensure that everything is ready for Go-Live. The
final “Go” decision is the start for the implementation of the productive SAP S/4HANA
system with the Production Cutover at the Go-Live weekend.
❑5 The weeks after Go-Live are called “Hyper Care”, where the new system is further
stabilized and optimized. When finished, the Deploy phase ends.
2
❑6 The transition project comes to an end when finally, operational responsibility has
been handed over to the production support organization.
