Structured, phased approach
Get full control of your journey
With SAP ECC nearing end of support, and mounting pressure to transition to S/4HANA or take the RISE with SAP journey, many organisations face uncertainty and risk.
The EPI-USE Labs' Enterprise Navigation Strategy replaces the complexity with clarity. We will assess your current environment, align it with your business goals and future readiness, and define a data-driven, cost-optimised strategy that gives you full control of your transformation journey.
Don’t move under pressure – move with purpose.
Strategic life-cycle
Using our specialised toolsets and interactive workshops, we will undertake a detailed analysis to gain comprehensive insights into your SAP environment, business processes, and your potential journey for modernisation.
Our process

Deep-dive discovery
- Current state: Analyse and document platform, applications and business processes within your SAP estate.
- System interdependency analysis: Identify critical connections and dependencies between all core enterprise systems.
- Requirements definition: Document technical, operational, and business needs, including:
- business processes and gaps
- performance, uptime, and SLA requirements
- security and compliance standards
- data, storage, Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity Plan (BCP) requirements
- in-house capability and re-usable resources.
Alignment with your strategic goals
- Business requirement validation: Understand your corporate enterprise system goals, and identify current gaps or modernisation areas in your ERP systems.
- Organisational assessment: Evaluate existing skillsets, capabilities, potential journey for change, budgetary constraints, executive sponsorship, and governance structures required for successful SAP transitions.
Based on our comprehensive discovery and analysis, we deliver the resulting strategic outcomes in a flight plan.
An optimal modernisation strategy
We recommend a data-model backed flight plan that aligns your short, medium, long-term requirements for maximum value and minimum Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
This strategy could consist of:
- System optimisation: Decisions on which systems to re-host (lift-and-shift), re-platform (lift-and-reshape), or refactor (re-architect) for cloud-native performance.
- Portfolio rationalisation: Guidance on which applications to decommission (retire), replace with SaaS, or maintain on-premises for the immediate future.
The flight plan is designed to ensure maximum cost optimisation as well as licensing efficiency for your enterprise.
Structured, phased approach
We develop a clear, phased approach for SAP enterprise modernisation, defining short-term, medium-term, and long-term flightpaths that are directly aligned with your strategic business objectives.

Client success
Aberdare Cables
Aberdare Cables partnered with EPI-USE and EPI-USE Labs over more than two decades to transform their business. EPI-USE Labs’ PRISM solution facilitated a successful company code carve-out, followed by multiple steps to S/4HANA.
EPI-USE Labs helped us implement our SAP roadmap, and the team is always available when we need them. We achieved upgrades into the HANA space within short timelines and at low costs; the migration was seamless with no interruptions in work. We now have efficient technical support and effective IT management tools.

Dis-Chem
Migration of Dis-Chem Pharmacies’ SAP landscape to newly acquired on-premise hardware, then SAP RISE, and ongoing Managed Services
The EPI-USE Labs and First Technology teams delivered the project in record time with flying colours. The migration was seamless, and they overcame all the technical barriers with ease. Their communication was very good throughout; they kept our stakeholders well-informed, and aligned expectations. And they’ve continued to provide us with excellent support.
