SAP S/4HANA Cloud Deployment Assessment
Are you ready for S/4HANA Cloud?
With this implementation assessment, we determine if your organization is ready for an SAP S/4HANA Cloud solution. We analyze your technical and functional requirements to identify any challenges for the implementation project. Our assessment is based on our knowledge of the capabilities of an SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP platform and our experiences from previous implementations. With this experience, we support you from an early stage in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition implementation.

Your first step towards SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
S/4HANA implementation assessment:
To make the configuration and functionality of S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition as suitable as possible for your business, we use our implementation assessment. This assessment involves checking the requirements of your business model for standardization using a questionnaire. Based on this assessment, we can recommend which business solution and which S/4HANA Cloud platform (Private vs Public Cloud) best suits your company.
In the presentation of our results, we show you the key findings using a clear dashboard. This gives you insight into the readiness of your organization for a cloud-based ERP environment, as well as the standardization possibilities and implementation options we provide for you. Our presentation also provides you with detailed information about possible obstacles and factors that can cause complexity during an implementation.
Together, we discuss the selection of a business model, the specific composition of functionalities in the future SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, any critical findings, and a summary of the challenges and requirements per industry.
The dashboard forms the basis for the choice of an operational model. It also provides insight into critical processes during the transformation, so that we can focus on the key findings and accelerate the transformation.
SAP S/4HANA Implementation Assessment - an overview
Jointly answering key questions
Based on our extensive experience with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition implementation projects, we have developed a set of important questions to discuss with you during an initial workshop. We will address your specific questions and any uncertainties.
For example:
- What does my current system landscape look like?
- What is the culture within my company regarding SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition?
- Am I ready to standardize my business processes?
Evaluating results
After our initial workshop, we analyze the discussions and get a first idea of whether an SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition solution is suitable for your organization. We also discuss potential challenges and organizational changes that may be necessary during the implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. We evaluate this for each industry sector and general topics such as finance, controlling, logistics, and sales. Technical requirements and the mindset needed within your organization to adapt to a standardized solution like SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition are also highlighted. Each area is classified using a traffic light system, so you can see which areas require significant changes (red), minor changes (orange), or no changes (green).
Your Cloud Readiness Score
We will share the results of our analysis with you during a follow-up discussion. Based on this presentation, we will discuss the potential challenges and necessary changes. We will also identify possible next steps for your transition to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
Recommendations for actions and follow-up activities
Based on the results of the Deployment Assessment, we will provide appropriate recommendations for actions and next steps that we can take to continue your journey to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
PwC's S/4HANA Deployment Assessment and SAP's Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA)
How do these two tools complement each other?
The Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA) is an important tool that SAP requires to assess whether SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition is suitable for your business. The goal is to identify the required functionalities, localizations (country-specific versions), and integrations. This provides insight into necessary integrations and links and available localizations. For example, various financial functions are mentioned with a brief explanation. Based on this, you can decide which functions are relevant to your organization. It also provides insight into the possible customizations that can be made using the ''Extension Framework''.
