      Understanding client struggles & addressing key pain points

      Complex vendor and stakeholder landscape

      Large-scale SAP programs often involve multiple vendors and stakeholders, leading to misalignment and inefficiencies. Without strong governance and senior guidance, this complexity can result in missed opportunities and fragmented execution.

      Delays and budget
      overruns

      ERP transformations frequently suffer from timeline slippage and unexpected costs. KPMG’s structured quality assurance approach identifies inefficiencies early, improves resource allocation, and supports on-time, within-budget delivery.

      Lack of unified vision and value commitment

      Misalignment between business and IT, or lack of executive commitment, can derail transformation goals. Our independent assessments foster collaboration and ensure all parties are aligned on shared objectives and value realization.

      Insufficient change management and adoption

      Failure to manage change effectively can lead to low user adoption and resistance. We integrate structured change management into our quality assurance services to drive alignment, engagement, and long-term success.

      Unclear go-live readiness and risk blind spots

      Many organizations lack clarity on whether their systems, data, and teams are truly ready for deployment. We provide go-live readiness assessments and proactively identify overlooked risks to safeguard program success.
       

      Weak governance and decision-making structures

      Ineffective governance can slow down decision-making and hinder progress.
      KPMG enhances governance frameworks to ensure accountability, efficient processes, and streamlined execution.

From early risk identification through detailed program reviews to ongoing monitoring, validation, and post-implementation support, we ensure that your SAP transformation meets all defined quality benchmarks, delivers value, and positions your organization for long-term success.

      • Assessment and Risk Identification

        Using  KPMG's Quality and Risk Assurance framework , we assess SAP transformation quality and risks across seven dimensions and 49 key attributes, focusing on governance, program management, and change readiness. This early risk identification ensures proactive issue resolution.

      • Program Review and Gap Analysis

        We conduct structured reviews based on KPMG’s Powered Enterprise methodology, evaluating project deliverables, go-live readiness, and alignment with business and technical goals. Our gap analysis ensures that all milestones are met with high quality and within scope.

      • Continuous Monitoring and Progress Evaluation

        Our experts provide real-time monitoring via GETT dashboards, tracking issues and enabling swift corrective actions. This ensures projects remain on track and aligned with best practices.

      • Program Support and Validation

        We validate system performance, business process alignment, and user acceptance, ensuring readiness for deployment. This includes structured training programs, change management plans, and user acceptance testing (UAT) assessments to confirm that the system is prepared for go-live.

      • Post-Implementation Support and Optimization
