NZSug Auckland: 15 August 2025 - After event material

Big transformation projects can be… lively. Tight deadlines, shifting priorities, and a few surprises along the way – it’s all part of the journey. Migration Mayhem was created as a light-hearted nod to the unpredictable moments every project team knows all too well.

Behind the fun are the real pressures SAP teams face every day – the kind that can derail timelines, inflate costs, and compromise results if left unchecked. From data headaches and compliance demands to complex testing cycles and shifting transformation goals, these issues are just some of the challenges we know you face.

In his keynote, Ian Fox shared three critical success factors for managing transformation complexity: data integration complexity, operational alignment, and digital adoption. You’ll see these themes reflected throughout the challenges below — alongside other areas where EPI-USE and EPI-USE Labs can help you achieve accuracy, efficiency, and control in your SAP landscape.

Data management

Whether it’s the pressure of an unexpected audit, or the everyday complexity of test environments, data can become a blocker. Poor quality, high volumes, and security risks don’t just affect compliance; they delay testing, increase costs, and slow down transformation.

We help you take control fast by delivering secure, Production-like test data in hours, and embedding governance and privacy into every layer of your SAP landscape.

Optimise your data

S/4HANA and RISE with SAP transformation

Transforming your SAP environment is an opportunity; but years of technical debt, custom code, and process sprawl can turn it into a costly clean-up. We often see this hidden complexity surface right when simplicity is most critical.

We help you cut through it. We simplify your landscape before you migrate, remove what you no longer need, and redesign your system for long-term flexibility, performance, and value.

BTP and app development

Being able to pivot quickly is a real advantage – but rapid development without clear structure can create risk. As more teams adopt SAP BTP to streamline and extend their environments, having the right strategy, guardrails, and execution model matters more than ever.

We help you design and deliver high-impact extensions on BTP, connecting them seamlessly into your broader SAP ecosystem – without disrupting the core.

Testing and automation

Automated testing is one of the fastest ways to reduce delivery risk – but it’s often held back by slow manual cycles, poor data, or limited business visibility. That’s where projects get delayed and go-lives stall.

We help you get ahead of it. With accurate, on-demand test data and proven automation tools, we reduce the noise, increase coverage, and keep you moving. And we make sure it works for technical teams and the business.

HCM and Payroll

Few areas are more sensitive during transformation than payroll. Compliance risk, data integrity issues, and missed pay runs can derail trust across the organisation – especially in multi-country environments.

We help you migrate with accuracy, validate at every step, and stay compliant globally. Whether you’re moving to Employee Central Payroll, upgrading on-premise, or just cleaning up what’s there, we make sure your payroll lands exactly where it should.
