The Challenge of Migrating to S/4HANA

For many organizations, the migration to SAP S/4HANA represents a pivotal investment in digital transformation. Yet, despite the best project plans and significant spend, too many leaders especially CIOs, CFOs, and COOs find themselves launching into a new system only to face old frustrations:

  • Bloated inventories
  • Inconsistent execution
  • Ongoing reliance on spreadsheets
  • Disconnected processes and departmental silos

Why? Because the migration often becomes a technical exercise, rather than a business transformation. Legacy inefficiencies get carried forward. Poor data practices go unaddressed. Custom code gets rebuilt instead of retired. And the result is a modern SAP platform weighed down by yesterday’s problems.

The Roadblocks to Real Transformation

As S/4HANA projects unfold, deeper issues emerge:

  • Suboptimized processes that were never redesigned
  • Inaccurate or incomplete master data that disrupts planning
  • Teams unfamiliar with best practices, defaulting to outdated workarounds
  • Unnecessary customizations that add complexity and cost

These issues delay adoption, inflate support costs, and erode ROI leading to extended stabilization timelines and unrealized business potential.

Reveal’s S/4 Smart Set Up

Reveal’s S/4 Smart Set Up was built to overcome these challenges by turning your migration into a performance launchpad.

Unlike traditional approaches that prioritize system readiness over business readiness, Reveal focuses on aligning people, process, and system behavior before, during, and after go-live. The result is faster time-to-value, better data-driven decisions, and sustainable adoption across functions.

Reveal’s proven VALUE optimization® (oVo®) methodology powers this transformation:

  • Discovery: Use live SAP data to pinpoint where profit, performance, or efficiency is leaking
  • Education: Equip business teams with the knowledge and context to work smarter—not just faster
  • Adoption: Activate standard SAP capabilities and best practices to eliminate rework and waste
  • Sustainability: Lock in improvements through performance assurance, governance, and ongoing support

It’s not just about deploying S/4HANA. It’s about embedding the conditions for long-term value.

Tangible Value from Day One and Beyond

Reveal’s approach delivers clear, measurable results that matter to finance and operations leaders:

  • Faster EBITDA improvements through streamlined execution and lower cost-to-serve
  • Inventory optimization and working capital release via clean data and smarter planning
  • Improved service levels and fulfillment reliability without adding resources
  • Standardized processes that scale with growth and reduce organizational risk
  • Higher SAP capability adoption and reduced technical debt post-go-live

Real-World Results: From Readiness to ROI

One U.S.-based manufacturer engaged Reveal prior to their S/4HANA migration to avoid the common pitfalls of replatforming legacy issues. By cleaning up master data, eliminating unnecessary customizations, and retraining operations teams, they achieved the following outcomes:

  • 27% increase in MRP accuracy
  • $14 million in unproductive inventory eliminated
  • 30% reduction in post-go-live stabilization time

These results weren’t achieved by adding software. They were made possible by building the right habits, governance, and data quality before the switch was flipped.

Confidence. Clarity. Control.

Reveal’s S/4 Smart Set Up ensures that your migration delivers more than a functional system. It delivers a smarter, more resilient operation one built to scale, adapt, and outperform.

  • Align teams before go-live
  • Design processes for value
  • Replace frustration with control
  • Launch with confidence

Don’t Just Migrate. Move Smarter.

If you’re moving to S/4HANA, this is your moment to eliminate waste, realign execution, and stop replicating problems. Let’s design it right before rework costs you margin, time, and trust.

Q&A

Q

What is the best approach for migrating master data to S/4HANA?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

The best approach for migrating master data to S/4HANA involves a thorough data cleansing process to ensure accuracy, consistency, and completeness of the data before migration, followed by mapping the data to the new system's data model. It's also critical to leverage SAP's Data Migration Cockpit and tools like LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) to automate the transfer, validate data integrity, and conduct test migrations to minimize errors and ensure smooth transition to the new system.

Q

How do I optimize planning strategies and MRP settings in S/4HANA?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

To optimize planning strategies and MRP settings in S/4HANA, it’s important to align planning strategies with business needs by configuring appropriate MRP types, lot sizing methods, and procurement types based on demand patterns and production capabilities. Additionally, fine-tuning MRP parameters like lead times, safety stock levels, and forecast settings helps ensure efficient material flow, reduce stockouts, and improve inventory turnover while balancing supply and demand.

Q

How do I measure and realize tangible ROI post-migration

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

To measure and realize tangible ROI post-migration, companies should track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as operational cost savings, reduced cycle times, improved productivity, and faster decision-making enabled by real-time data. Additionally, ROI can be realized by assessing improvements in customer satisfaction, inventory optimization, and increased revenue from enhanced agility and streamlined processes across departments.
