Incremental Levels of Engagement
From planning and foundational implementation to end-to-end setup, service, and support,
you can choose the level of service coverage and engagement for SAP S/4HANA that works best for you.




Plan and Safeguard Your Journey to SAP S/4HANA
Within the plan and safeguard package as the first level, your business and IT stakeholders work with us to establish a foundation for the system you want to develop. We help you complete planning activities to define your implementation strategy, identify dependencies, and define your target architecture, all with the assistance from a technical quality manager at SAP. The optional service package, plan and prototype, helps you evaluate the solution in a short time frame with real business scenarios using real data.
Help Strategize and Design the Technical Implementation
During the next level with technical implementation, which adds multiple services to those offered with planning and safeguarding, you and any SAP partner you work with focus on functional implementation of SAP S/4HANA, while your support team assesses your current capabilities and then designs and scopes the right technology environment, processes, and organization for your digital transformation.
Migrate and Implement Your Plan
Building further on the first two engagement levels, the migrate and implement level helps you migrate an existing platform or facilitate a new installation. We help you begin your implementation of SAP S/4HANA software with a preconfigured setup and simplified, ready-to-use support for business processes.
Innovate and Optimize Your Implementation
The innovate and optimize level provides a comprehensive and personalized option that first brings together all the options from the other three offerings, and expands on this to help you innovate and realize additional value through new business models in solution areas that expand outward from the digital core.
