SAP S4/HANA Migration Support
A major home improvement retailer upgrades their systems to SAP S4/HANA with highly qualified, niche resources provided by CiTechT.
The Challenge
The client was undertaking a comprehensive enterprise system migration from Oracle to SAP S4/HANA, representing one of the most significant technology transformations in the organization's history. This complex initiative required augmenting their internal team with specialized contract and contract-to-hire professionals who possessed deep expertise in multiple SAP functional areas. The project demanded highly skilled consultants with proficiency across critical SAP modules including Financial Accounting (FI), Materials Management (MM), Group Reporting, and several other specialized components. The client selected CiTechT to support this critical migration based on our flexible engagement model and our proven track record of successfully delivering high-caliber ERP and enterprise resource planning professionals to the organization on previous strategic initiatives.
Our Solution
Our ERP Practice Team Lead worked in close collaboration with client leadership and project stakeholders to develop a comprehensive understanding of both the technical specifications and strategic business objectives driving the migration effort. Serving as CiTechT's primary SAP subject matter expert, the ERP Practice Team Lead conducted detailed requirements analysis, performed rigorous candidate technical assessments, and provided ongoing strategic guidance throughout the resource delivery process to ensure optimal consultant placement and project alignment. The consultants deployed to the client site were responsible for critical implementation activities including system configuration, comprehensive testing protocols, and detailed documentation of SAP S4 functionality. Additionally, our team collaborated with the client's SAP IT security specialists to support the planning, design, and execution of comprehensive security architecture covering technical operations, business processes, and administrative functions. Our consultants also contributed to knowledge management efforts by documenting SAP design methodologies, creating and maintaining operational procedures, and ensuring consistency and completeness across all system documentation.
