Charting your SAP S/4HANA navigation

About this webinar:

With SAP ECC end-of-support looming, and a growing range of deployment options available, many organisations find themselves under pressure to make decisions about their SAP roadmap – often without the full picture.

From our experience with clients, the real risk isn't just technical; it's making the wrong move for the wrong reasons at the wrong time. In this session, we step back from the  noise to focus on the strategic and architectural decisions that will shape your SAP future. We walk through EPI-USE Labs' Enterprise Navigation Strategy – a structured, data-driven approach that replaces guesswork with clarity.

Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all path, this strategy is built entirely around your specific environment, business goals, and constraints.  Learn how defining your direction first impacts everything that follows, and how to confidently navigate your transformation journey.

What do we cover?

In this 45-minute session, we cover the key areas of the Enterprise Navigation Strategy:

• Strategy overview: What the Enterprise Navigation Strategy is, why it exists, and how it empowers you to move with purpose rather than under pressure.
• Preparation & discovery: The deep-dive organisational assessment that needs to happen before any transition decision is made, including system interdependency analysis, skills and capability evaluation, and most importantly your business process requirements moving into the future.
• Evaluating potential endpoints: Understanding the range of outcomes available, from system optimisation (re-host, re-platform, refactor) to full portfolio rationalisation (decommission, replace with SaaS, or stay on-premises).
• Transition paths: Starting from your business goals and working backwards. Reaching your business goals may call for modernisation, upgrades, or migration – applied individually or together, sequenced in the way that best serves your objectives.
• The phased flight plan: How extracting quantitative metadata through an Enterprise Assessment can bring all of these decisions together into a data-driven roadmap.
