What we did
Stage 1 – System Split Twin Clients Landscape ECC - ECC
The existing 1C system was split, creating a new environment for North America. Out-of-scope data were deleted while cross master data governance and cross systems flows were implemented. Interface integration was redesigned, and a testing procedure was performed before system validation.
Stage 2- Upgrade from SAP ECC to SAP S/4 Hana® Twin Clients Landscape ECC - S/4
The new system was upgraded to S/4 Hana®. Mandatory simplification items were adopted and functional mandatory changes were deployed. Kernel interface was adopted, with adjustments to the local custom code and the query. A testing procedure was performed before upgrade validation.
Results
«Working with Mind The Value was a decisive step to continue satisfying the needs of our customers on all quality sides»
Migrating from an Integrated SAP ECC Worldwide® system to SAP S/4 Hana® presented a high level of complexity. The main challenge was to create two totally integrated environments able to work as one without impacting ongoing processes and business. Mind The Value successfully managed to complete the migration by splitting the process into two stages, creating a new SAP® environemnt for North America fully integrated with the already existing Integrated SAP ECC Worldwide® system.
