ACCELERATEYOUR
JOURNEY
TO BEING
DIGITAL

Getting to the value of simple beyond thetechnical complexity. Getting there faster.
It is with expectations of deep
simplification – in process and data - thatcompanies look to move to S/4HANA
from non-SAP systems, migrating from anexisting SAP Business Suite installation,or consolidating multiple SAP instances
to a single S/4HANA instance. They want
to realize the value of a ‘digital core’that provides great user experience,
immediate insight, intelligence beyond
automation, and integration not only

between departments but by connecting
to the world. The key thing to remember,
however, is that it is not a technicalupgrade path from SAP ECC to SAP
S/4HANA. It is a truly transformational
endeavor and businesses have a choice
to either re-implement or perform system
conversion. In fact, on-premise installation
requires setting up application server
software, the SAP HANA database, theS/4HANA application, and the SAP Fioriuser experience. Not only must customers
migrate data from existing systems, theymust also rationalize customizations,configure business structures and optimize
business processes, before their SAP
S/4HANA investments begin to pay off.
Infosys Catalyst for SAP S/4HANA can help
these enterprises determine their future
direction, define the roadmap forward
and accelerate time-to-value from their
S/4HANA adoption.

The Infosys Catalyst for SAP S/4HANA Approach to Elevate and Expedite Outcomes
Automation

Innovation

Learning

Leveraging pre-configured templates,
automation frameworks, tools and accelerators
we bring the people+software advantage toimplementations. From automated businessprocess testing, and quality management
automation for enterprise applications, to codeimpact auto-assessments we amplify the team’s
potential to crunch implementation cycle timeby up to 40%.

We bring a Design Thinking approach to processtransformation and value assessment startingwith a deep understanding of our client’s
business and IT objectives to find the mostcritical problems to solve – and the biggest
opportunities ahead.

In our study of the client’s IT landscape, we
capture the knowledge and knowhow of tasks
previously performed in ERPs, data warehouses
and other legacy systems to improve andaccelerate these. This learning then feeds intothe design, creation and sustenance of newsystems that can bring entirely new experiences– built on knowledge that already exists in thesetup.

Catalyst: Automation to deliver up to 25 percent
reduction in efforts during the assessment phase

DesignReimagining a desirable, feasible and viable
future-state with S/4HANA at the digital core, andpreparing a global template to define its setup,
design and maintenance is the focus of this phase.
Catalyst: Rapid prototyping methodologies to deliver
up to 20 percent acceleration of the design phase

ExecuteThe global template must be tailored for local
implementation in compliance with the local businessblueprint. This phase also details cut-over preparation,planning and execution. It entails the pilot and roll-outthat can then be improved over later iterations.
Catalyst: Over 600 artifacts and accelerators containing
methodology steps, deliverable templates, check lists,
best practices and solution approaches to manage costs
and time to value

Achieve

Through real-time data processing and better
analytics, the S/4HANA journey underpins a digitalbusiness model transformation that can help
companies innovate new products and services. We
continuously improve, learn and look to uncover andrealize these opportunities.

Caselet: S/4HANA Assessment, Roadmap and Central Finance Implementation for
North America’s Leading Chocolatier
The business had at its core an SAP
implementation that was more than 15 years
old, non-compliant with several processes that
had evolved over time and struggling to connect
with the non-SAP systems that had come withthe entities the business they had acquired overthis period. They wanted to quickly integratethese disparate systems first for reportingand then for processes.
• Leveraging Infosys Catalyst for SAP S/4HANA,

we conducted a 6-week assessment androadmap definition exercise for a centralized,
non-disruptive greenfield implementation ofS/4HANA Finance• The roadmap extended to include an
S/4HANA global template design and roll-out
plan to improve enterprise connectivity,
improve processes, bring real-time analyticsinto the business landscape, strengthen
cyber security of their ERP and mitigate risk ofbusiness interruptions• We built out a business case and value
realization framework to help the businessfund their transformation• As the 12-month implementation progresses,
the business is beginning to realize value froma simplified landscape, improved UI and new
GL functionality like document splitting andparallel ledger
