What is SAP implementation? - The first knowledge sharing application in Vietnam

Part of the issue with any successful SAP implementation or S/4HANA migration is that no matter how you manage it, you’re going to have to ‘shut off’ portions of your operations to make it happen. Any company would look at that in fear, asking the perilous question: “What about our revenue? Our profit? Our longevity? Will we survive this transition?”

Of course you will. Ensure you have more than enough resources to carry it on, following with clear definitions and responsibilities between:

Your organization
Your SAP system integrator
Third parties
Onshore developments
Offshore channels

Reallocation is a definite. When portions of your operation shut down, if you can manage to fill in the gaps while the S/4HANA migration is occurring, chances are pretty good everything will coordinate smoothly.

Don’t be afraid to outsource or hire for those additional external resources either. Sure, you’ll spend more to outsource and hire, but it’s well worth the investment when comparing to a month, or two, or three in lost revenue, because your company’s essentially ‘shut down’ while it transitions. Ultimately, you’ll recoup the investment over the long haul especially as the S/4HANA migration and/or SAP migration operates much faster and more cohesively because of your planning and mitigation.
