Understanding client struggles & addressing key pain points

Fragmented Systems, Lack of Integration, and Standardization Challenges

Many organizations struggle with disconnected systems, inefficiencies, and misaligned workflows, limiting real-time insights and slowing decision-making. System consolidation and strong governance are essential for improved efficiency and alignment.

Unstructured SAP Roadmap and Business Case

Without a structured SAP Roadmap and business case, transformations risk misalignment with corporate objectives. KPMG supports organizations in defining clear, measurable value cases to justify investments and track ROI.

Lack of Governance & Clear Responsibilities

Weak program governance can lead to inefficiencies and stakeholder misalignment. KPMG establishes strong governance frameworks, ensuring clear roles, responsibilities, and effective decision-making.

Unclear Value Measurement & ROI Tracking

Many companies struggle to track SAP transformation success. Our Value Assurance & ROI Measurement framework ensures that key benefits are continuously assessed and delivered.

Change Management and Organizational Readiness

Transformation is not just about new technology – it’s about people and processes. Ineffective change management can lead to resistance and poor adoption. KPMG ensures smooth adoption through a structured approach, stakeholder engagement, and training programs.

Pressure to Balance Tight Timelines with Business Goals

Organizations often face pressure to transform quickly, but rushed implementations risk misalignment and inefficiencies. A well-structured plan helps align timelines with readiness and strategic priorities.

Realistic Planning and Resource Allocation

Many underestimate the workload required for S/4HANA transformations. Balancing daily operations with project responsibilities can lead to delays. Collaborating with external experts can ease the strain and ensure a smooth transformation.

Data Migration and Integration Complexity

Migrating data while ensuring integrity, compliance, and seamless integration is a complex task. A poorly executed migration can lead to disruptions and costly errors.
