Upgrade Services
Create maximum value from your SAP landscape to support your business processes and minimise your security and compliance risk
An upgrade is an opportunity to consolidate instances by reducing customisations, technical debt, upgrade outdated hardware and your operating system. Whether you view an upgrade as a chance to start your migration journey to S/4HANA or extract more value out of your current SAP investment, our job is to perform your upgrade as efficiently and as painlessly as possible.
S/4HANA Migration
SAP S/4HANA is proving to be SAP’s most successful ERP system. In 2027, SAP will no longer provide support for the ERP Business Suite so companies need to begin their migration journey to the HANA in memory platform. Starting today ensures a steady, predictable path to success, reaping the benefits of S/4HANA before your competitors.

Upgrade Assessment
Your system supports many different users with a wide range of roles and needs. Changing one element may have serious consequences across the system which is why we take great care to completely understand your system and how your business processes move through that system. We will review the entire SAP landscape for Unicode conversions, due stack split etc. It's only by carrying out an impact analysis and considering the full implications of the IT infrastructure, that we can provide a suitable upgrade strategy.
Minimised Disruption
We optimise the change freeze window for SAP systems configuration and minimise any downtime for the business to reduce any disruption. By removing obsolete code, reviewing unnecessary enhancement and reverting to SAP standard functionality, we’re able to optimise performance and create a more stable environment. We complete the upgrade with a comprehensive regression test of core business process across the landscape.
Project Management
Our extensive SAP project experience means we have a project management team who quickly solve problems and keep the project moving forward on time and to budget. They will immediately identify potential challenges, dependencies and define the remediation and mitigation plans. With comprehensive regression testing carried out and end user trainings in place, the project managers assign clear cutover activities before go-live and the project progresses to hyper care stage.
