New articleSAP IS-U to S/4HANA Utilities: choosing between conversion, greenfield and selective transition

Manufacturing

SAP and data consultants for manufacturers

Manufacturers depend on clean master data, a realistic plan for S/4HANA, HR systems that keep up with a plant workforce, and plant and business data people can actually use. We help with those pieces, directly or beside your system integrator.

The work

Problems we see in Manufacturing

  1. 01

    The S/4 plan is unclear

    ECC landscapes need a sober readiness review before conversion or a staged move.

  2. 02

    Master data disagrees across plants

    Materials, customers and suppliers need rules and owners, not another spreadsheet.

  3. 03

    HR and the plant workforce drift apart

    Shift-based and union roles need SuccessFactors processes that match how people actually work.

  4. 04

    Plant data never becomes decisions

    Demand, quality and maintenance data stay stuck in source systems.
