Know Your SAP Cloud ERP Readiness
Identify risks, dependencies and priorities before committing to your transformation.
The challenge
A Tool Output Alone Does Not Define Transformation Readiness
Findings without business context
Readiness findings are not translated into business impact or priorities, and simplification items often lack owners, decisions, or due dates.
An incomplete technical picture
Custom code volume is known but its remediation complexity is unclear, interfaces and dependent systems are incompletely documented, and data quality risks surface too late.
Security and operations as an afterthought
Security and authorization impacts are treated as downstream activities, while infrastructure, operations, testing, and cutover readiness are assessed in isolation.
A readiness assessment must connect technical evidence to decisions, remediation actions, governance, budget, and transformation sequencing.
How we help
A 360° Assessment of Your Transformation Starting Point
We assess the technical landscape and the organization's ability to execute and sustain the transformation.
System & Architecture Readiness
We review the system version and maintenance baseline, add-on and compatibility fit, sizing and infrastructure considerations, landscape topology, and availability, backup, and recovery requirements.
Functional & Simplification Impact
We assess relevant simplification items, business process impact areas, mandatory functional decisions, Fiori and user experience implications, and process redesign opportunities.
Custom Code & Clean Core
We inventory custom objects and usage, review ATC and compatibility findings, identify remediation and retirement candidates, and classify extensions against a Clean Core risk baseline.
Data & Integration Readiness
We evaluate data volume and growth, data quality and archiving needs, the interface and middleware inventory, external dependencies, and migration object and reconciliation risks.
Security & Operational Readiness
We assess roles and authorization impact, security architecture and compliance gaps, technical operations readiness, monitoring needs, and testing, cutover, and continuity risks.
Program & Organizational Readiness
We evaluate governance maturity, resource and skill availability, the decision-making model, change and adoption considerations, and the transformation dependency map.
Business benefits
Replace Assumptions with a Prioritized Transformation Baseline
Early Risk Visibility
Expose technical and organizational risks before scope, budget, and timelines are locked.
More Accurate Planning
Estimate effort using actual findings across custom code, data, integrations, security, and operations.
Prioritized Remediation
Separate critical prerequisites from optimizations that can be sequenced later.
Stronger Business Case
Connect readiness gaps to investment needs, risk reduction, and expected business value.
Clear Ownership
Assign findings to accountable workstreams with decisions, actions, and target dates.
Faster Mobilization
Begin the transformation with an agreed backlog, dependency map, and governance structure.
