Axians Discovery Assessment (ADA)
The roadmap to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Clarity for your ERP transformation
The Axians Discovery Assessment (ADA) helps companies to develop an individual roadmap on the way to S/4HANA. As part of the assessment, your company’s central business processes are analyzed in detail: from customer inquiries to production and logistics through to invoicing.
The aim is to map the value-adding processes in the cloud solution. In this way, the ADA creates a basis for deciding which future operating model is sensible and feasible for an SAP transformation.
Your requirements at a glance
In addition, the company-specific requirements are systematically recorded and compared with the possibilities of the various cloud variants. In addition to functional suitability, a commercial analysis is also carried out. This involves determining which licenses, services and additional components are required for implementation. This information is used to create a detailed overview of the required SAP components, including the associated costs, which can serve as the basis for budget planning.
