A multi-region manufacturer · Manufacturing
Business readiness, change, and deployment for a multi-region S/4HANA programme spanning finance and supply chain.
A multi-region manufacturer was running fragmented legacy ERP across finance and supply chain, with inconsistent processes and limited visibility across the group.
Consolidating onto a single S/4HANA platform without disrupting finance and supply-chain operations — across regions that each had their own processes and calendars.
The approach standardised processes ahead of build, coordinated a phased, region-by-region cutover, and ran structured hypercare so each region stabilised before the next went live.
Data, process, and people readiness measured region by region before each go-live.
A rehearsed, phased cutover sequence that treated go-live as a controlled business event.
Role-based change and communications so teams could operate on the new processes from day one.
Structured post-go-live support that stabilised operations before scope moved on.
A disciplined, phased approach — each phase set up the next.
Align processes and master data across regions before configuration.
Measure readiness across data, process, people, and support.
Deploy region by region with rehearsed, controlled cutovers.
Run hypercare until each region is operating steadily.
Qualitative, defensible outcomes — no invented metrics.

Structured hypercare and adoption
