ECC to S/4HANA roadmap

A stage-gated path from requirements to value realization.

Use requirements traceability, honest fit-gap decisions, data governance and rehearsed cutover to reduce transition risk.

The Zircoo view

Make the next move
more usable.

The roadmap is designed for executive steering and delivery control. It converts a complex transformation into a sequence of decisions with explicit owners, evidence and exit criteria, while keeping the organization focused on service quality, margin and adoption.

ScopeEnterprise capability
What we bring

Designed for the
real system.

Each capability is stronger when it is connected to the process, data and operating model around it.

01

Discover and baseline

Establish business priorities, current-state process pain, system inventory, data quality, architecture constraints and the value baseline.

02

Decide the transition path

Use business disruption, historical data, process opportunity, regulatory requirements and risk tolerance to evaluate greenfield, brownfield or selective transition.

03

Design the target

Create future-state processes, a clean-core extension strategy, a data model, integration architecture, security design and the blueprint.

04

Build and prove

Configure, develop, cleanse, migrate, integrate and test in cycles that produce usable evidence for the business.

05

Cut over and realize

Rehearse the cutover, stabilize operations, transition knowledge and measure the business case beyond go-live.

ECC to S/4HANA decision model

Five gates that keep the program
honest and usable.

Each gate creates an executive artifact, a delivery baseline and a clear decision on what must happen next.

01

Discover

Requirements, process inventory, data profiling, architecture and value baseline.

02

Decide

Fit, configure, extend, integrate or govern, with every gap assigned an owner.

03

Design

Future-state processes, clean-core principles, roles, controls, integrations and migration.

04

Deliver

Configure, build, cleanse, test and rehearse the cutover with evidence at every gate.

05

Realize

Go live, stabilize, measure the business case and maintain an improvement backlog.

FitUse standard capability and protect the core.
ConfigureAdopt controlled configuration with ownership.
ExtendUse governed extension patterns where value justifies it.
Integrate or governAssign interfaces and data gaps to named owners.
