Replacing SAP IS-H: Solutions for your hospital

Efficient migration and IT modernization without risk

IS-H replacement

Digitalization in the healthcare sector is evolving fast, but many hospitals are facing a huge challenge: the replacement of SAP IS-H and the transformation to S/4HANA. The discontinuation of support for IS-H by 2027 or 2030 and the increasing pressure to modernize IT systems require a structured and forward-looking approach. As an experienced management consultancy, we support you in this transformation and help you to minimize risks and develop a viable solution.

Designing a holistic transformation

UNITY enables consistent support and a neutral perspective and provides professional impulses from other industries

Until now, IS-H offered a flexible adaptation to specific requirements through BAPIs and BADIs, comprehensive reporting functions for medical and financial key figures and compliance with all regulatory requirements. As a HIS-independent system, it enabled broad integration - a key requirement that must also be taken into account when choosing a future-proof alternative.

Status quo and requirements
  • The solution must be future-proof and user-friendly
  • Country specifics must remain included
  • Interfaces to third-party software solutions such as RKT must continue to be easy to use without major additional effort
  • Administrative and clinical processes must be closely interlinked
Required resources and measures
  • Digitalization strategy
  • End-to-end processes
  • Migration strategy
  • Interoperability standards
  • Holistic IT architecture
Additional value and benefits from UNITY
  • Sustainable roadmap & timeline
  • Decision-making support
  • Involved stakeholders
  • Independent assessment of the market and potential providers
  • Practically oriented and practice-approved project management
  • Security of investment

IS-H replacement - roadmap

Consulting services IS-H replacement

Your challenges: 
Hospitals need to find a future-proof alternative to SAP IS-H, but a lack of market transparency and uncertainty about long-term investments make decision-making difficult. High costs and unclear contract terms make planning even more complex.

UNITY solution approach:
Neutral market analysis & IT strategy - We analyze available options, develop a long-term, investment-proof IT strategy and support you in choosing the right system and drafting the contract.

Your challenges:
The tight time frame due to the approaching end of support for IS-H and KHZG projects taking place at the same time are putting a strain on internal resources. A lack of expertise in managing complex IT transformations and selecting the right provider make the process even more difficult.

UNITY solution approach:
Efficient project management & IT expertise - Our experienced consultants take care of the planning, set realistic milestones and coordinate the entire changeover to relieve your internal resources.

Your challenges:
The new solution must fit seamlessly into an existing, often heterogeneous IT landscape. At the same time, a secure data migration, the avoidance of business interruptions and well thought-out contingency planning are essential to minimize risks.

UNITY solution approach:
Holistic architecture & secure migration - We ensure modular integration, define clear migration paths and minimize operational risks through structured contingency planning.
