White Paper
The 30-Day FIT 4 SAP Proof of Concept.
Most organisations discover the truth about their S/4HANA transformation after they’ve signed the Statement of Work. By then, discovery costs significantly more. This white paper explains why testing must come before commitment, not during delivery.
The question every board asks:
“Support for ECC is ending. The quotes are in. How do we know S/4HANA will fit before we sign?”
The short answer: test one critical business scenario in clean-core S/4HANA before you sign the Statement of Work. Test, then sign, then execute.
The window for cheap discovery:
Before you choose a partner: discovery costs little more than time. Wide open.
Partner chosen, SOW not signed: still possible, still cheaper than during delivery. Narrowing.
SOW signed: every surprise becomes a change order. Closed.
Knowing the answer is the easy part. Defending it in a boardroom, or across the table from a system integrator, is harder.
The white paper gives you the reasoning behind it: why the same lessons surface in every programme, what they cost when they surface late, and the questions that expose them before anything is signed.

What’s Inside
The manufacturer whose warehouse stopped working on day one, after a go-live on schedule.
Why Lessons Learnt sessions always happen too late (and cost too much).
The lessons every S/4HANA programme eventually learns.
Why discovery during delivery is just discovery with a larger invoice.
How inverting the sequence (test → sign → execute) changes everything.
What a 30-day proof of concept actually delivers.
Why the window for cheap discovery closes when you sign the SOW.
If this resonates, here’s what comes next:
Complete the questionnaire (20 questions, 20 minutes)
Tests whether a 30-day proof of concept can test your transformation scenario.
Agree the Scope Agreement
One critical scenario. Thirty days. Fixed boundaries. Unrestricted access.
30-day proof of concept
Test your scenario. Document what works and what breaks. Receive three artefacts: Scar Log, Decision Register, Board Pack. I step back. You decide.
Ready to Start? Complete the Questionnaire.
A short diagnostic to see if a 30-day S/4HANA prototype makes sense for you.
I ask for a name and email because the questionnaire is the first real step. It’s only for people serious about testing a transformation scenario.
