POC (Proof of Concept) based Business case for SAP S/4HANA transition planning

The digital economy is accelerating quickly and disrupting businesses across the spectrum. Digital transformation in almost all cases challenges the old economy. Established, tried, and tested models undergo evolution to be optimized in the digital age. Staying competitive in this digital age requires agility in innovations, efficiency in operations, and scalable use of technology.
Companies need to ensure that their processes, systems, and strategies are easy to adapt so that they can react constructively to newer digital challenges in a fast-shifting market. While technical necessities are undoubtedly crucial for digital transformation, companies must also build a strong business case to drive tangible value and boost revenues.

SAP S/4HANA is intelligent ERP (Enterprise Resource Platform) helping companies to manage digital challenges. One of the top reasons for the delay in transitioning from SAP ECC(ERP Central Component) to SAP S/4HANA is lack of a viable business case. As per the study by PAC and Arvato titled “SAP S/4HANA in Germany”, ~62% of the respondents stated that a quicker development of business cases would be their focus before the deadline (SAP ECC support will end by 2025) sets on the horizon^[1].
But transitioning to SAP S/4HANA does require a considerable investment in time, effort and cost, while at the same time managing business disruptions. Regardless of your starting point with SAP, taking a value-driven approach is best suited not just to secure internal funding and executive sponsorship, but also visualize your business targets/benefits with the use of technology and its offerings.
Building business cases for any technology implementation like S/4HANA should be a top-down approach, where both leadership, IT and operations must be present to identify the company’s business value drivers. These drivers must be identified and professionally documented once all stakeholders well understand the vision and the strategy to get there. Quick Enterprise Architecture assessment and Proof of concepts (POC) solutions are intended to offer a competitive advantage to convince various stakeholders, and that will help business visualize benefits and identify risks before starting significant investments in S/4HANA transition projects.
