RISE with SAP, Transcend with PwC

This stage involves aligning your business and IT strategy as a foundation for cloud transformation.

We’ll help you expand your horizons by designing a holistic cloud strategy that spans both your SAP and non-SAP environments. We have the business integration expertise and alliances with the key hyperscalers to help you choose the right cloud platforms and design the best cloud architecture and governance model.

At this point we’ll help you determine a sustainable transformation path and develop a business case with clear value tracked according to expected outcomes.

A successful business requires careful planning and smart up-front analysis. Within the context of RISE with SAP we’ll use deep process mining expertise and our S/4 Journey Guide to help you choose the right target process and architecture for your business needs. With a series of accelerators and a survey-based assessment, we’ll help you quickly determine how you can effectively use SAP S/4HANA to reimagine your operating model and drive value creation:

• Our preconfigured Industry Edge model solutions allow you to customise your implementation to your industry.
• Our award-winning BXT approach combining combines business, experience and technology teams will help you put all the pieces together.
• Our PwC S/4 Journey Navigator will enable you to quantify the cost and value of your transformation initiative and build a strong business case. This will confirm accurate expectations, aid communication and align business and IT stakeholders from the outset.

This stage is about making your cloud transformation a reality as quickly, efficiently and successfully as possible.

We combine PwC methods and assets with tools from SAP and market-leading third parties to accelerate and safeguard your migration to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Whether you opt for a greenfield, brownfield or hybrid approach, our experienced teams will facilitate the process, using results from the planning phase to speed up implementation of the solution.

• If existing system investments are identified as unique value propositions, we include highly technical tasks such as selective custom code conversion and data migration.
• If your organisation is struggling to disentangle multiple ERPs, we can use SAP S/4HANA CFIN as a stepping stone to a full finance and digital transformation.
• Network adoption is also a fundamental aspect of the approach: we help you integrate your supplier network at a technical and strategic level.
• We bring the governance and change management tools needed to confirm a full, successful S/4HANA Cloud business transformation.

As your journey continues, we make sure you continue reaping value from your move to the cloud ‒ securely.

Our next-generation application management services help you drive innovation throughout the cloud life cycle ‒ especially important given that your cloud-based business will be running faster than ever. This includes finding ways of meeting ever-changing customer demands by continuously evolving your business and creating new models using emerging strategies and technologies. We can also enable quarterly or annual enhancements to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP Fiori applications and the SAP Business Technology Platform.
