Pure greenfield transformation: a new digital backbone

When a company’s existing processes and systems reach the limits of their effectiveness and traditional improvement projects cannot achieve the desired outcome, a holistic transformation is needed. A greenfield approach means a digital backbone is created from scratch, freeing the business from legacy behaviors and technologies. Learn more about how our ERP practice helps companies navigate their large-scale transformation projects.

Implementing SAP S/4HANA using a pure greenfield approach is an opportunity to rethink your company’s existing ERP setup and related processes. It means companies can leave behind outdated structures and technology solutions.

Starting a transformation project from a blank canvas also lowers the long term cost of ownership, ensures the company is working with state-of-the-art technology and allows leaders to optimise data and material flows along the entire value chain.

Of course, an SAP S/4HANA transformation comes with costs – these may include limits on certain custom functionalities that a business has come to lean heavily on, the need to upskill the workforce, and a considerable investment of time and resources to leverage the full benefits of the transformation project. However, the upsides are that it is a sustainable move towards leaner and more standardised processes and an important step to support future growth.

Our practice group spans technology and business expertise, using an established methodology to successfully steer large-scale holistic greenfield projects. This is why we are a trusted partner for business-led ERP transformations for both mid-market and blue-chip customers.
