SAP ERP

SAP ERP is a leading enterprise software solution that integrates asset management functionality alongside core business functions such as finance, procurement, manufacturing, sales and human resources.

The ERP solution with built-in asset lifecycle and management capabilities.

SAP is an enterprise resourcing planning solution that integrates core business functions such as finance, procurement, manufacturing, sales, human resources and asset management. SAP ERP’s Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) module offers additional tools for organisations to track, maintain and optimise assets throughout their entire lifecycle.

The EAM module offers advanced reporting and analytics capabilities, providing valuable insights for data-driven decision-making. This in combination with capabilities for:

proactive maintenance planning
streamlined work order management
real-time asset monitoring and
integration with IoT for predictive maintenance.

Extracting key data provides organisations with meaningful insights that are critical in making the right business decision at the right time. This allows organisations to overcome system pitfalls and thus enhance their asset utilisation and performance, and allowing them to extract the full value of their ERP system.

SAP ECC has an end-of-life in 2025 with a continued mainstream support until 2027. It is important for organisations to start their migration journey ahead of time.

The migration from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA involves upgrading the standard of the current SAP systems while simultaneously adopting a new database.

As with all effective data migration programs, a successful SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA data migration will require the participation of all parties involved in the project, both functional as well as systems, for the following reasons:

Level of knowledge and need for communication between the project team and those responsible for maintaining the current systems
Quality of the data coming from the old applications and their need for remediation
Volumes of information to be managed
Synchronisation of data load, configured parameters and improvements (extensions) performed
Organisational considerations and the cutover process.

One way to smoothen the transition is to understand the data landscapes and resolve data quality issues as a pre-migration activity or as a data cleansing step within the project. This can be achieved with a Data Quality Assessment.
