The implementation approach – SAP Activate methodology.

Here at Westernacher, our goal is to provide a holistic business transformation approach, not just a technology implementation. GROW with SAP is also based on the ‘Cloud Mindset’ approach, which means “fit to standard” and adopting best practices for commodity processes.

The old adage regarding People, Processes and Technology still rings true with People being first in the list. Unless the solution is adopted, no amount of processes and technology will compensate, and the overall business benefits and expected outcomes will not be met.

For effective system implementation, the SAP Activate methodology is the way to go. SAP have invested significant time and resources in providing a prescriptive method to implement S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, and the accompanying tools and accelerators really do speed up project implementation while embedding quality processes.

Based on our lessons learned from numerous Public Cloud implementations, we advocate a ‘core foundation first’ approach. This means we focus on the core processes first in ‘Wave 1’ and a quick go-live with this foundation. Our experience shows that this approach is the most cost-effective and quickest way to realize immediate value with the new solution. It also teaches the customer team the process of implementation, which means they are much more informed and ready for ‘Wave 2’.

Let's work together.
