Insight into a
S/4HANA Utilities Transformation

Energy suppliers are facing major challenges: Digitalization is progressing at a fast pace, the transition to SAP S/4HANA is becoming increasingly urgent and at the same time numerous construction sites are being created. From data cleansing to the optimization of existing processes to the introduction of new functions — every project is complex and requires clear structures.

A successful S/4HANA Utilities project depends on a systematic approach in clearly defined phases and a partner who knows the pitfalls. In this way, all parties involved maintain an overview, risks are minimized and the transformation can be planned — right through to successful start-up.

1. Prepare: Preparation

We started with clear planning and setting up the project team. All framework conditions and milestones are defined. This gives us structure and transparency right from the start.

2. Explore: Concept

In consultations, we analysed processes and developed the target image. Requirements were prioritized and initial solutions were made visible in the system. This lays the foundation for implementation.

3. Realize: Implementation

The system is configured and adapted to your needs. The first test migrations for data transfer are running in parallel. Step by step, a fully functional S/4HANA system is being created.

4. End-to-end testing

All core processes are run through from start to finish. Errors and gaps can thus be identified and corrected in good time. At the end, the system is professionally approved.

5. Deploy: Go live preparation

With a dress rehearsal, we ensure that the transition is smooth. The cutover plan regulates responsibilities, timings, and emergency plans. This secures go-live.

6th Run: Operations & Hypercare

S/4HANA goes live successfully on the deadline. During the hypercare phase, we closely monitor the specialist areas and optimize minor details. The system then goes into stable operation.
