Ensuring the predictability of an S/4HANA transformation through a business-oriented preliminary project

Initial situation

  • A German steelworks was forced to migrate its old SAP R/3 ERP system to SAP S/4HANA
  • The market was characterized by high cost pressure and customers demanded a wide range of variants
  • This resulted in a heterogeneous process and system landscape
  • As part of the upcoming SAP transformation, the company wanted to review the performance of existing processes and optimize them where necessary
  • The steelworks therefore needed a business transformation to go hand in hand with the IT changeover
