This phase examines which processes and functionalities are available and which of them your company needs.<\/p><p>Given the large number of processes, manually listing all relevant processes for your company could be tedious or even impossible. For this reason, SAP provides the Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA). The Digital Discovery Assessment is a mandatory component of SAP Activate, used to define your future functional scope. This digital, integrated tool allows you to determine, at a high level, which business processes are relevant for your operations based on scope items. Each scope item encompasses a variety of business processes that will be available in the system. After selecting the scope relevant to you, you will receive an offer with a cost estimate for your S\/4HANA implementation.<\/p><p>Here\u2019s an

Cloud Identity should be mentioned. This includes two different services: the Identity Authentication Service (IAS) and the Identity Provisioning Service (IPS). These ensure secure access to SAP cloud applications, making this a central component and typically the first system provided at the beginning of the Prepare Phase. IAS is used at the start of the implementation to create user accounts and assign permissions, while IPS is simultaneously used to execute jobs that trigger the creation of user accounts and the assignment of permissions in the new systems.<\/p><p>SAP Cloud ALM runs on the Business Technology Platform (BTP) and offers applications that support project management, system operations, and service request management.<\/p><p>SAP Central Business Configuration, also running on the Business Technology Platform (BTP), is used to activate scope items across various local versions (countries\/regions) within S\/4HANA Cloud systems. Additionally, it is where the organizational structure is defined, unlike in the Private Cloud, where organizational definition is carried out directly in the system via customization (SPRO). CBC is therefore a central tool for configuration in Public Cloud implementations.<\/p><p>The SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is a platform that provides services for developing applications, integrations, extensions, and a wide range of other functionalities.<\/p><p>Once the systems outside of S\/4HANA are ready for use, a starter system is provided. This pre-configured system contains all active SAP Best Practice business processes as well as relevant master data. It serves as the foundation for the Fit-to-Standard workshops.<\/p><p>The development system is the central location for configuring and customizing business processes. Here, the identified requirements from the workshops are implemented by activating and modifying the appropriate Best Practices. The development system serves as a platform for individual customization before these changes are transported to subsequent environments.<\/p><p>After completing the configurations, the changes are transferred to the test system, which serves as a quality assurance environment. In this phase, the customizations and business processes are thoroughly tested to ensure they work correctly and as intended. This testing process is crucial for identifying and resolving potential issues before go-live.<\/p><p>Once testing is successfully completed, the validated changes are transported to the production system. This system is the heart of daily business operations. All business-critical transactions and processes run here, so a smooth transition from previous environments is essential.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa17ef0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aa17ef0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Explore Phase (Fit-to-Standard)<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-284f40d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"284f40d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Since S\/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition relies on standard processes, it\u2019s essential to thoroughly analyze your existing workflows. The Explore Phase focuses on Fit-to-Standard workshops. In these workshops, SAP standard business processes are demonstrated, current processes are analyzed, and any deviations (gaps) are documented to adapt the standard processes to the company\u2019s specific requirements in a later phase.<\/p><p>If you\u2019ve chosen to use the Public Cloud, you should be prepared to work primarily with predefined standard processes. This also means moving away from extensive customizations and configurations. The Fit-to-Standard workshops serve to introduce the scope items selected in the Discover Phase. Should we identify that certain processes deviate from standard requirements, we document these deviations and collaborate with you to decide whether to adapt these functionalities to your company&#8217;s specific needs or if the standard process can be used in the future.<\/p><p>SAP recommends avoiding the complete redesign of business processes, as any change to a standard process entails higher maintenance costs for the company due to future release upgrades. This should only be done if absolutely necessary (e.g., a process critical to competitiveness). Minor modifications, however, can be made to adapt standard processes to your requirements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5a5383 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c5a5383\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Realize Phase<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da1d835 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da1d835\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the Realize Phase, the deviations and requirements documented in the Explore Phase are implemented.

The methodology is suitable for all project sizes, from small, rapid cloud implementations to comprehensive deployments. It also accelerates project execution through the use of SAP Best Practices, Fit-to-Standard analyses, agile project management, and cloud technology.<\/p><p>Additionally, using standard business processes offers significant advantages, as they are based on best practices from various industries, allowing for a fast and efficient implementation. In contrast, maintaining customized systems with specific modifications requires more effort, particularly with updates and new releases. While implementing highly customized systems often takes 18 to 24 months, solutions with standard processes eliminate time spent on adjustments, development, testing, and additional training. Thus, a lightly customized standard S\/4HANA in the Public Cloud can ideally be ready within 6 to 12 months.<\/p><p>Are you ready for the journey into the Public Cloud with the Activate Methodology?
