SAP & Talan

Your organisation has successfully operated on SAP ECC6 for years and is now transitioning to SAP S/4HANA - either On-Premise or Private Cloud. As you prepare for conversion, you may be facing one or more of the following challenges: 

• Time Pressure - Your ECC6 version is nearing end-of-support, or other business drivers require a rapid move to S/4HANA.
• Risk Management - System maintenance on your ECC6 system has lapsed, knowledge of key configuration has faded, and yet, you must minimise disruption during the transition.
• Value Realisation - The conversion project represents a significant investment, and your organisation is determined to extract business value beyond simply securing long-term support.

Over the past 8 years, with a dedicated team of specialists, we have industrialised the SAP S/4HANA conversion process to secure and accelerate your project. 

• Securing the Conversion: after defining your tailored roadmap and confirming feasibility, we build a complete SAP S/4HANA environment to de-risk the project and drive user adoption.
• Accelerating the Conversion: we use our proven 4STOS4 (4 Steps to S/4) methodology, supported by a suite of technical and functional accelerators deployed throughout the conversion phases—from initial preparation to system handover. 

To increase the value of your project, we offer complementary ERP optimisation services in Analytics, User Experience, and Process Automation. 

• Activation of Embedded Analytics: deployment of a standard set of KPIs and operational reports (e.g. sales volume, stock levels), enabling real-time insights and alerts directly within the user interface.
• Implementation of Additional Reports by function (Finance, Sales, Procurement, etc…): based on the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) library of pre-configured reports and dashboards, tailored to your context (e.g. branding) and integrated with Analysis for Office (AFO).
• User Interface personalisation: selection and deployment of sets of SAP Fiori applications tailored to user roles and functions, enabling adoption of the new SAP interface.
• Change Management Support: creation of user documentation and change enablement using SAP Enable Now (SEN). We also offer our S4U e-learning kit for self-paced training on SAP S/4HANA innovations.
• Clean-Core Extensions: development or redevelopment of key applications in SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), leveraging Robotic Process Automation (RPA) workflows and integrated to S/4HANA via standard APIs.

Accelerated, Low-Risk Migration 

• Deliver your SAP S/4HANA conversion on time and with confidence using our industrialised 4STOS4 methodology - designed to minimize disruption, even in complex or under-documented ECC environments. 

Immediate Business Value 

• Go beyond technical migration: unlock embedded real-time Analytics, Fiori Applications or Process Automation from day one to drive measurable performance improvements. 

User Adoption 

• Boost productivity and reduce resistance with early user access to the S/4HANA system, role-based SAP Fiori launchpads and structured onboarding—ensuring your teams embrace the new platform quickly and effectively. 

Future-Ready Architecture 

• Extend your ERP with clean-core enhancements via SAP BTP and RPA workflows—laying the foundation for scalable innovation, integration, and long-term agility.

"The PASaPAS Conversion Factory is undeniably a key asset for this type of project. Its processes are well-established, with weekly task tracking that ensures nothing is overlooked and allows issues to be addressed as they arise."

SAP’s portfolio has evolved more in the past five years than in the previous two decades—driven by cloud transformation, far-reaching innovation brought by AI, and new commercial models like RISE with SAP. As a result, many organizations face a growing disconnect between their current SAP landscape and the value SAP now promises. Common challenges include: 

• Loss of clarity around SAP’s offerings: rapid changes in SAP’s product roadmap, licensing structures, and deployment options have left many teams uncertain about what SAP solutions actually deliver, functionally and commercially.
• Misalignment with business needs: you may feel that SAP’s current value proposition doesn’t reflect your organization’s priorities or constraints - especially if you're not ready for full cloud adoption or large-scale transformation.
• Limited Visibility on strategic Next Steps: with ECC support ending and SAP’s replacement solution a moving target, it’s difficult to decide how to evolve your SAP systems and adopt the next generation of SAP software innovation.
• Whilst you try to plan your next strategic move, your current SAP systems still need to be kept secure and evolving enough to cover new business requirements and regulatory changes.

As an accredited SAP Value-Added Reseller (VAR) with 94 clients under maintenance, we provide the expertise, infrastructure, and proactive guidance to help you: 

• Maximise the value of your current SAP systems
• Stay aligned with SAP’s evolving roadmap
• Prepare for and transition to next-generation SAP solutions at your own pace

Once your systems are connected to our Solution Manager, our SAP-certified Partner Centre Of Expertise can deliver the following services, as part of your Enterprise Support contract: 

• Incident Management: documentation of the issue, root cause analysis, search for existing fixes in the SAP Knowledge Base, resolution or escalation to SAP and follow-up.
• 24x7 mission-critical support backed-up by SAP: “production down” incidents submitted out of normal business hours are automatically escalated to SAP Support for immediate action.
• SAP Early Watch Alert (EWA) weekly reports. Once a year, one of our PCOE consultants analyses the EWA reports and presents a tailored summary of our recommendations, including software lifecycle.
• Technical Quality Checks are SAP-delivered, remote services to identify technical risk and opportunities. Our team advise you on which TQCs to request and then manage their execution.
• SAP Kernel and Service Tools: core technical components updated annually to ensure system stability and compatibility, at no additional cost

To cover all the aspects of our SAP software reseller activity, we have a dedicated team of SAP sales executives, Pre-sales consultants, Licensing and contracts specialists, and Customer engagement managers. 
 

For new clients, their collective responsibility is to ensure that our clients buy the licenses they need (no shelfware) and that, once implemented, the solution delivers the expected outcomes. For existing clients, they are at hand to explain the subtleties of SAP’s Digital Access, Cloud Extension, ECC to S/4HANA contract conversions, etc… 
 

We actively encourage our consultants to explore SAP’s latest innovations within their domains. Insights gained are shared internally and with clients during our annual Inno’ Tour — a dedicated event to showcase emerging SAP technologies and practical use cases.

Proactive System Health & Risk Mitigation 

PCoE services like EarlyWatch Alerts, Technical Quality Checks, and kernel updates help prevent issues before they escalate—protecting uptime and reducing reactive firefighting. 
 

Accelerated Innovation Adoption 

Partners with licensing and support capabilities are better positioned to guide clients through SAP’s roadmap—whether activating embedded analytics, exploring SAP BTP, or preparing for S/4HANA.
 

Optimised Licensing Decisions 

With direct access to licensing specialists and pre-sales consultants, clients receive tailored advice on sizing, contract terms, and subscription models—ensuring cost-efficiency and compliance. 
 

Simplified Engagement & Accountability 

Clients have a single point of contact for both commercial and technical matters, streamlining governance and enabling faster decision-making across licensing, support, and roadmap planning. This broad capability is especially valuable in today’s SAP environment, where licensing models (perpetual, cloud subscriptions, consumption models, digital access) and support structures are increasingly complex. A partner who understands both sides can help clients avoid costly missteps and unlock more value from their SAP investment
