Second Phase Solutions

Migrating complex SAP processes from legacy platforms to modern cloud solutions presents significant challenges. We have successfully assisted large enterprises in transitioning their SAP On-premise and NEO workloads to the Business Technology Platform and Cloud Foundry. Our detailed approach begins with in-depth technical analysis, followed by a tailored migration strategy. We guide the entire process, emphasizing knowledge transfer and change management to ensure minimal disruption and optimized performance in your new cloud environment.

Long-term SAP customers face inertia and enormous technical debt from heavily customized systems. With ECC support ending in 2027, many feel forced to rush migration without addressing these issues. We have assisted large organizations in breaking this cycle through a detailed assessment of custom developments and integrations in their SAP systems. Our approach provides insights to prioritize customizations for standardization, retirement, or gradual migration to SAP BTP using ABAP Cloud. This enables a measured strategy that balances migration urgency with debt reduction, maximizing S/4HANA Cloud's benefits while aligning with your organization’s digital transformation goals. 

You have large legacy SAP applications which need modernizing. Our team has worked with complex, custom-developed systems that no longer meet evolving business needs. We begin with comprehensive analysis of all existing systems and custom code. Based on this, we determine the best modernization strategy - whether it's rehosting, refactoring, leveraging new cloud services, or rebuilding. We then guide you through the chosen modernization path, ensuring knowledge transfer and minimizing business disruption while optimizing for future scalability and performance.

SAP teams often struggle with outdated practices, hindering their ability to fully leverage cloud benefits. We have successfully helped large organizations align their SAP operations with modern DevOps principles, enhancing automation, integration, and collaboration. Our approach streamlines development practices while maintaining robust governance and security. This enables faster, higher-quality code and more reliable deployments, ultimately reducing risks and improving ROI. By balancing agility with necessary controls, we ensure code readiness for frequent releases, all while preserving essential CAB and RAB processes for production deployment. 

Many Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are building scalable products on BTP to modernize their solutions and leverage SAP's ecosystem. However, they often face challenges with SAP-specific technologies, multitenant architectures, and service integration. This can lead to inefficient BTP usage and missed opportunities. We guide ISVs in developing multitenant applications, offering expertise in SAP Cloud Application Programming (CAP) and BTP service integration. Our hands-on approach includes knowledge transfer and practical strategies for secure tenant separation and effective resource optimization.

Post-go-live performance issues often arise in SAP systems when non-functional requirements are overlooked during implementation. We address this by implementing observability using logs, traces, and metrics to identify inefficiencies. This proactive approach, combined with performance testing tools, allows teams to anticipate issues, set up alerts, and gain system transparency. By analyzing observability data and load test results, we identify bottlenecks and teach teams to recognize these issues. This data-driven strategy empowers teams to optimize queries, streamline code, and balance resources, enhancing response times and user experience while aligning with organizational goals cost-effectively.

BTP environments are often set up quickly, with organizations leveraging free credits gung ho without prioritizing security, leading to vulnerabilities. Our reviews frequently uncover security issues in these systems. We provide assessments of custom code, configurations, and access controls, delivering detailed reports that outline your security posture and highlight areas needing attention. We equip you with practical tools, knowledge, runbooks, and automation for immediate remediation and ongoing security management. This approach enables alignment with your enterprise security strategies and DevSecOps practices, ensuring security integration throughout your development lifecycle.

Teams supporting applications or using new technologies often face blocked systems and outdated practices that hinder business operations. We step in when these teams are stuck, providing fresh perspectives and years of problem-solving experience. Our technical assessments identify immediate fixes and long-term improvements to restore operations and enhance efficiency. This proactive approach helps teams shift from constant firefighting to streamlined application support, aligning with organizational goals and delivering business value. 

Many organizations find consulting partners often underdeliver, using bait-and-switch tactics or delivering solutions only they can support. These issues stem from consultants' inexperience with technology, leading to shortcuts and compromises. As a result, projects veer off track, lose sight of key objectives, and fail to deliver expected value. We provide expert oversight on consulting engagements, ensuring efforts meet intended goals. Our approach uses industry best practices, offering early and frequent feedback to prevent 'watermelon' reporting. This helps deliver successful outcomes aligned with organizational objectives, avoiding common pitfalls in technology-driven projects.

Assembling the right team is crucial for achieving BTP business case objectives. Hiring the wrong team wastes time and money. Often, managers focus on perceived skills gaps rather than actual needs, leading to misaligned hires. We improve job descriptions and assist with interviews, asking questions to identify the right problem solvers for each role. Our method considers skills, team fit, and growth potential. This ensures your team delivers maximum value and effectively meets BTP objectives, avoiding costly hiring mistakes and aligning with your business goals.
