Advisory Services: A Forward-Thinking Approach to IT

The challenges facing your business – and your IT – are constantly changing. But you do not always require new solutions to deal with them. What you need is an honest, detailed evaluation of your situation and an open assessment. Are you fully protected against increasing cyberthreats? Are you using your existing tools efficiently? Where could you prevent drops in performance? And which innovations actually make sense for you?

We would be glad to offer you advice and bring decades of experience – with the aim of getting more out of your IT.

Advisory Services: An Overview

Digital Transformation Services

Which elements of your IT landscape are already prepared for the future? Should certain processes be replaced or digitized? We help you identify how you can use your systems more effectively.

SAP S/4HANA Transition

Diligent preparation is the most important success factor for your SAP S/4HANA transition project. We can support you in this task.

SAP S/4HANA Transition: What it Includes

Our experts guide you through your SAP S/4HANA transition. A technology change as fundamental as the switch to SAP S/4HANA is a rare occurrence. But despite the enormous impact on your system landscape, the transition can be considerably quicker and easier than the implementation of the old SAP Business Suite was – provided that you choose an experienced partner that was involved in the development of the digital core right from the start and developed best practices at an early stage. With SAP S/4HANA transition services, NTT DATA Business Solutions gives you comprehensive support from in the lead-up to the actual transition:

Initial consultation on SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA: From company-specific added value analysis to upgrade planning and developer workshops to UI consultation.

Data footprint reduction: Before migration we check your databases for redundancies and clean them up. This saves time in the transition and reduces the costs of the subsequent hardware implement.

Code Readiness Testing: Before migrating to the SAP HANA database, we analyze your custom code for compatibility in order to accurately plan risks, required resources, and budget for migration.

Code Migration Factory: We adapt your custom code to the requirements of SAP HANA, develop compatible tools as needed, and advise you on testing. This accelerates migration and minimizes costs.

SAP User Experience

Because it’s about more than just appearance: Work more effectively with a modern user experience. Here’s how you can improve the usability and user experience of your existing SAP software by using a modern user interface.

SAP User Experience: What it Includes

Improve the SAP user experience of your current IT landscape. For some years now, employees have been used to modern, intuitive user interfaces – just think of smartphones. But in reality, business IT at many companies is completely different. Advanced user experience (UX) offers more than just aesthetics. Easy-to-learn operation, shorter paths to desired functions, device-independent interfaces, and consistent design across all applications – all of these significantly increase the efficiency of your employees, as well as enjoyment at work.

Learn about the latest trends and basic technologies for modern SAP usability in our workshops. Together we can take on the challenges in your specific field and analyze the critical points of your existing user interface (UI). At the end, you will have clear recommendations for how to optimize the UI of your SAP landscape.

SAP Solution Manager Services

With the release of SAP Solution Manager 7.2, the software is now capable of much more than just the administration and operation of your SAP solutions. Make the most of its potential!

Advisory Services and Support at Exact Sciences

When we implemented SAP, we were essentially a clinical R&D company focused on bringing a regulated DNA screening test to market. After FDA approval, we needed to adapt SAP to support our commercial and operational needs. NTT DATA Business Solutions had the combined technical expertise and thought leadership to advise and guide us through the transition.
