Why every SAP S/4HANA transformation project needs a process mining solution – SAP S/4HANA Vectorial

In early 2020, SAP announced a revised schedule for ending maintenance and support for SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) Business Suite 6.0, slated to conclude by the end of 2027, or by 2030 with increased costs. This forces companies relying on SAP ECC to reconsider their ERP systems as the product nears its end of life.

While SAP S/4HANA promises numerous benefits such as flexibility, cost reduction, and faster analytics, implementing it is far from simple. In fact, it’s a complex undertaking with various potential challenges.

Despite the complexity, wide-scale ERP implementation offers an opportunity to streamline IT systems. As the project entails organisational changes, workflow adjustments, and system upgrades, it’s also an ideal time to consider efficiency improvements within the business.

Using process knowledge to deliver more business benefits from IT investments 

Leaders expect IT projects to yield returns and business benefits. Succeeding in S/4HANA transformation requires broad knowledge, understanding, and resource commitment from customers and IT suppliers.

IT transformation projects often face delays and budget overruns due to numerous changes in systems and business practices. The key to success lies in process knowledge, understanding current processes to drive effective transformation.

Without this understanding, projects risk costly setbacks as they may rely on assumptions or false understanding, leading to inefficient work methods. Knowing the current processes and variations is crucial for successful transformation and smooth operations.

Fortunately, this information largely exists, but condensing it into a usable form can be challenging. SAP S/4HANA Vectorial simplifies this process, facilitating efficient management of changes and smooth transitions.

Process mining solution for every SAP S/4HANA transformation project – S/4HANA Vectorial

A lack of understanding of processes poses significant risks in transformation projects. The S/4HANA Vectorial process mining solution emerged from SAP consultants’ need for enhanced transparency into existing business processes and the ability to align them with SAP S/4HANA best practices.

Developed by a team of experts from QPR Software and Tietoevry, including SAP architects, business analysts, process mining experts, and data engineers, the solution addresses real-life challenges and requirements.

SAP S/4HANA Vectorial enables quick and easy analysis of current processes, offering a clear view of their execution. This mitigates risks such as scope creep, unrealistic project timelines, and unforeseen issues during implementation.

Utilising QPR Software’s robust process mining technology, SAP S/4HANA Vectorial provides a holistic view of processes based on real customer data, avoiding reliance on subjective assessments and gut feelings.

SAP S/4HANA Vectorial key benefits: 
  • Quickly analyse current processes and estimate required changes for implementation.
  • Understand the impact on operational performance and system costs when comparing transformation options.
  • Enhance business performance through simulations using real data, challenging SAP’s best practices.
