Navigating your unique road to SAP S/4HANA

The road to SAP S/4HANA isn’t just about choosing brownfield, hybrid, or greenfield. Every company’s journey is unique - shaped by its systems, ambitions, and appetite for change.

At KPMG, we help organizations find their own optimal path - one that balances cost and risk while unlocking business value. We don’t start from the solution. We start from your business reality.

So how do we help you find that sweet spot?

Our proven methodology guides you through three concrete steps, ensuring your move to SAP S/4HANA is business-led, not just IT-driven.

We start by building a clear picture of your current SAP ECC environment - identifying what’s working, what’s outdated, and where the effort lies.

• Run automated diagnostics on systems, processes, and custom code
• Use process mining to map real-life operations and spot inefficiencies
• Flag “must-do” conversion items, technical blockers, and data issues
• Create a baseline of your current state to guide roadmap decisions

What’s in it for you?

A clear and fact-based understanding of where you stand today - helping you avoid surprises, reduce risk, and set the right priorities from day one.

Together with your business and IT teams, we explore and challenge your future direction.

• Validate required conversion activities and estimate the effort
•  Identify quick wins and longer-term value levers
• Prioritize innovations and improvements - what to do before, during, and after the migration
• Involve key stakeholders early for alignment and ownership

What’s in it for you?

A business-backed S/4HANA plan with real ownership - ensuring alignment across teams and buy-in for the improvements that truly matter.

Finally, we turn strategy into action with a concrete and sequenced plan.

• Define your target application architecture and migration path
• Select the right mix of innovations, upgrades, and simplifications
• Align on the licensing and delivery model (e.g. PCE, Rise, hybrid)
• Draft a high-level implementation timeline, effort, and budget
