SAP S/4HANA transformation: Your path to the future of corporate management

Digital transformation presents companies with complex challenges. Global crises, growing competitive pressure and new regulatory requirements necessitate resilient, efficient and forward-looking processes. With support for SAP ECC coming to an end, switching to SAP S/4HANA is inevitable. This technological transformation is not only a necessity, but also an opportunity, offering everything from modernised IT architecture and improved transparency and data quality to accelerated real-time decision-making processes.

UNITY ensures a successful, holistic SAP S/4HANA transformation with a focus on business impact. We realign processes and organisation, develop a future-proof IT and business architecture, and establish a data strategy. This lays the foundation for value creation and competitiveness. Together with our partners, we support you throughout the process, from strategy to successful technical implementation, providing everything you need from a single source.

We will accompany you every step of the way on your SAP transformation journey, supported by our strong partner network
[Translate to English:]

At UNITY, we provide comprehensive support to companies undergoing SAP S/4HANA transformation, covering everything from strategy development and process optimisation to technical implementation and change management. As independent trusted advisors, we develop future-proof IT architecture and value creation strategies, aligning individual business processes with SAP standards and creating sustainable structures to maximise efficiency and deliver measurable business value. Based on a clear SAP roadmap (brownfield/greenfield, RISE with SAP), we combine process mining (e.g. Signavio/Celonis) with fit-to-standard workshops. We design end-to-end processes and ensure that cost, schedule and quality targets are met through well-considered governance. Our experts empower and inspire employees, manage all partners and stakeholders, and ensure the success of your SAP S/4HANA implementation through robust solution design and scalable IT architecture, right through to stable operation with AMS handover and continuous optimisation. This enables you to reduce throughput times, enhance data quality and compliance, and minimise the total cost of ownership.

Together with our strategic partners, we will guide you every step of the way, from vision to go-live.

SAP S/4HANA transformation: Recognizing challenges – seizing opportunities

Switching to SAP S/4HANA involves much more than just a technical upgrade; it is a company-wide transformation. Many organisations face similar challenges in this regard. Fast-growing medium-sized companies are reaching the limits of their existing ERP systems and require scalable, standardised solutions. At the same time, the end of maintenance for SAP ECC is forcing a timely realignment, including strategic architectural decisions such as whether to use the cloud or on-premises solutions. Added to this are fragmented data structures, complex system landscapes and growing regulatory and personnel requirements. To successfully navigate this transformation, a holistic approach with a clear strategic focus is required, not just an implementation project.
Our approach: SAP transformation with a business focus:

Think holistically:

We combine processes, organization, and IT architecture into a comprehensive end-to-end solution.

Strategic transformation:

We develop the right strategy for your project, whether it's greenfield, bluefield or brownfield, and work with you to shape your vision.

Scalable implementation:

We combine SAP with cloud and platform technologies (e.g., BTP, AI) and focus on real business use cases with measurable benefits.
