3. OBJECTIVE

To conduct an assessment study of migration of existing SAP ECC to S/4HANA as per the scope
mentioned below. The output of this exercise will provide a detailed implementation scope,
 migration approach, S/4HANA Roadmap & design, SAP Fiori Apps and Analytics Roadmap &
Design and Business Opportunities via S/4HANA.

4. S/4HANA Migration Assessment Study Scope

Assessment study for SAP S/4HANA Roadmap should cover the following aspects.

System Study:

➢ ‘AS IS’ system study and business processes with Identification of opportunities, pain points,
manual processes, non-SAP systems integrated with SAP

➢ Detailed study for Infra structure requirements (IAAS vs On-premises) and sizing (Primary and
Secondary) considering future expansion
➢ Detailed study on licensing approach and costing moving from ECC 6.0 Ehp7 to S/4HANA
➢ All Basis (Admin) and landscape migration needs to be a part of the study exercise
➢ Benchmarking Study of Industry best practices of S/4HANA and as per best practices in
Cement Industry
➢ Vendor should also study areas which may see important for the complete assessment
outcome

Workshops:

➢ Conduct workshops on S/4HANA functionalities with all Stakeholders to demonstrate the new
capabilities

infrastructure in terms of capacity, Qty and cost
➢ A detailed report needs to cover recommendations, Business Opportunities, design/blueprint
of different scenarios, implementation scope and benchmarking study report for S/4HANA
migration & implementation, Fiori apps and Analytics
