De-risk your future SAP roadmap with a data-driven strategy
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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
