It's easy to underestimate the complexity of SAP projects and the level of expertise needed to deliver success.

Although your Systems Integrator will take responsibility for their own scope of work, you also need to deliver on your side of the bargain.
 
Trouble is, they're experts in SAP and you're not, meaning your people wind up out of their comfort zone, over-stretched and stressed.
 
We embed experienced SAP Program Managers, Architects, Change Managers, Test Managers and Data Experts to work alongside your team.
 
We roll our sleeves up and do the dirty work with you, bringing tools, accelerators and broad shoulders for you to stand on.

S/4HANA Program Delivery FAQs

Everything you need to know about S/4HANA program delivery

What is the difference between an SAP System Integrator and an independent SAP adviser?

A System Integrator (SI) is contracted to design and deliver your SAP solution — their commercial interest lies in winning and executing the implementation.

Their role is to validate your business case, support SI selection, provide client-side program leadership, challenge design decisions, and ensure the SI is held to account throughout delivery.

Engaging an independent adviser alongside your SI provides the objectivity, expertise, and challenge that protects your investment and significantly improves the likelihood of a successful outcome.

How do I reduce SAP implementation risk?

SAP implementation risk can be significantly reduced by taking the right actions at each stage:

  • Before you start – validate the business case independently, plan realistically with contingency, select and contract your System Integrator carefully, and establish clear scope boundaries.
  • During delivery – deploy experienced client-side program management, maintain independent design authority, and enforce rigorous testing and cutover rehearsals.
  • After go-live – run structured hypercare, track adoption, monitor benefits realisation, and embed a continuous improvement program.

A key principle throughout: embedding independent expertise alongside your internal team — rather than relying solely on your System Integrator — provides the objectivity and challenge that meaningfully reduces risk.

What is the role of a client-side SAP Program Manager?

A client-side Program Manager represents your organization's interests throughout the implementation — they are not provided by your SI.

Their role includes holding the SI accountable to plan, managing internal stakeholders, controlling scope and budget, overseeing risk and governance, and ensuring business readiness at go-live.

This is one of the most underestimated resourcing decisions in SAP delivery. Organizations that appoint an experienced, independent client-side PM consistently achieve better outcomes than those who rely on the SI to self-manage. 

What is the difference between a greenfield and brownfield SAP S/4HANA migration?

A greenfield implementation starts from scratch, building new S/4HANA processes without carrying over legacy configurations — offering the greatest opportunity to adopt best practices, but requiring more change and carrying higher delivery risk.

A brownfield migration converts your existing SAP system to S/4HANA, retaining current configurations for a faster, less disruptive transition, but risking the carry-forward of technical debt and missed process improvement opportunities.

The right approach depends on your business strategy, legacy complexity, and appetite for change — and should be determined independently before engaging an SI. 

What does good SAP program governance look like?

Effective SAP program governance ensures the right decisions are made by the right people at the right time.

Key elements include: a clearly defined governance structure with an empowered steering committee, regular and transparent reporting on cost, schedule, risk and quality, a formal escalation path for issues and decisions, independent assurance reviews at key programme milestones, and a single accountable client-side owner.

Poor governance is a consistent feature of failed SAP programs — where issues are identified too late, decisions are deferred, and the SI operates without sufficient challenge or oversight. 

How do we know if our SAP implementation is in trouble?

Early warning signs that an SAP program is at risk include: consistent slippage against plan with optimistic recovery forecasts, a growing backlog of unresolved issues and open design decisions, low business engagement or resistance from key stakeholders, data migration problems being deferred rather than resolved, testing starting later than planned, and an SI that is reluctant to provide transparent progress reporting.

If several of these signs are present, an independent program health check can quickly identify root causes and provide a clear recovery plan — before issues become critical.
