Transform your SAP landscape for mergers, acquisitions and business restructuring

Mergers and acquisitions

The complexity of business systems means that the integration of systems due to a merger or acquisition can be a significant challenge. Best practice is to start with an analysis that can compare systems across different layers. Based on this information, strategic decisions can be made about what the best approach is.

EPI-USE Labs provides:

• System analysis and comparison
• Data strategy advisory services
• Data migration
• Repository comparison and harmonization

Technology modernization

Support your business with the latest enhancements. Modernizing your technology platform has the potential to not only save by leveraging open-source stacks, cloud offerings and in-memory databases, but also re-imagine your business under a far more flexible and powerful set of technologies.

EPI-USE Labs offers:

• Migration to S/4HANA
• Re-platforming
• Database size reduction

System and business consolidation

Organic growth and legacy decisions can lead to complex distributed systems and inconsistent business processes, which not only limit scalability but also increase operational costs significantly. At some point, it is better to harmonize and consolidate these systems to grow again.

To assist with this decision, EPI-USE Labs offers:

• System analysis and comparison
• Data strategy advisory services
• Data migration
• Repository comparison and harmonization

Reorganization

Reorganizations have become ubiquitous events in companies because of managerial changes, business strategy and portfolio changes. Human Resources changes are typically managed in-house; however, more complex changes can require outside help.

EPI-USE Labs is known in the industry as an HCM specialist, and our tools have been built to handle SAP’s unique HCM data model.

• HCM employee transformations
• 'PD Org' transformations
• Elastic Scalability

Restructuring

Restructuring, unlike reorganizations, is a result of an enterprise deciding to change its legal, financial, manufacturing and/or supply-chain structures. These are referred to in SAP as the ‘Enterprise Model’. Most of SAP’s data references and contains elements of the Enterprise Model. Thus, changes to the enterprise model also require changes to all data that refer to the specific changes.

SAP’s tripartite architecture (Enterprise-Data-Function) is reflected in EPI-USE Labs' model-driven software. So, we can provide:

• Company code consolidations and/or splits
• Plant consolidations and/or splits
• Plant reallocations

SAP HCM splits and transformations

Many companies have deployed HR functionality within their SAP ERP (ECC) system, but HR systems require more frequent changes because of legal, financial and business reasons relative to other ERP components.

By decoupling HR from ECC, companies can achieve a number of company-wide benefits:

• Increase business agility
• Automate testing
• Prepare for the future (Move to the cloud, outsource)

Alternatively, you may want to migrate your on-premise HR and Payroll to S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition (PCE) for HCM, or SuccessFactors' Employee Central Payroll. PRISM for HR and Payroll is our turnkey solution to help you transition quickly and easily, with minimal risk.
