Greenfield or brownfield?

It depends on process debt, customisation volume and appetite for change. Greenfield gives a clean design but requires more change management; conversion is faster but carries existing problems forward. We assess rather than assume.

How long does an implementation take?

It depends on scope, entities and data condition. We give a range after assessment and resist committing to a date before data readiness is understood.

What is the biggest avoidable cost?

Customisation that was never justified. Each deviation from standard adds build, testing and upgrade cost indefinitely, so disciplined fit-to-standard design is where the largest savings are found.

How does a sap s/4hana implementation engagement start?

With a short discovery conversation and a written view of scope, risk and the decisions to be made. That view is useful to you whether or not the work continues.

How is a sap s/4hana implementation engagement priced?

Scope and, where relevant, rules of engagement are agreed in writing before any work begins, and the engagement is a fixed fee for that scope or phased with a cost envelope per phase — so you know the cost and the boundaries up front. Larger pieces of work are broken into phases with findings delivered early rather than a single invoice at the end.

SAP S/4HANA Implementation

We implement S/4HANA with the process design, data preparation and adoption work given the same weight as the technical build. In practice the technology rarely fails on its own; programmes stumble on designs that drift from standard, on master data that was never cleansed, and on people who were trained on navigation rather than their own work. We run design against standard process capability, prepare and validate data before migration rather than during it, and keep extensions out of the core and under a documented standard. The result we aim for is a system that reconciles, performs on real volumes and is actually used as designed.

In short

S/4HANA implementation delivers SAP's current ERP suite with process design, data and adoption planned alongside the technical build. It is as much a business redesign as a technology project, and treating it only as the latter is the most common way it goes wrong.

What we do

The work inside sap s/4hana implementation.

Fit-to-standard design

We run design workshops against standard process capability, so the default answer is to adopt the standard and the exception is a justified, approved deviation. This keeps the solution close to what SAP maintains, which lowers the cost of every future upgrade and reduces the testing burden at each release.

Data preparation

We cleanse, enrich and validate master and transactional data before migration, not in the cutover window when there is no time to fix anything. Profiling the data early also exposes process problems that would otherwise surface as go-live incidents, so the business inherits a clean starting position.

Extension governance

We keep extensions out of the digital core and under a documented approval standard, built on released APIs and side-by-side patterns. The outcome is a core that stays upgradeable and a clear register of what was built, why, and who owns it.

Testing, cutover and hypercare

We plan integration and acceptance testing around end-to-end processes, rehearse the cutover until its timings are predictable, and arrange hypercare so the first weeks are supported rather than improvised. This turns go-live from a leap of faith into a rehearsed, evidenced event with a known fallback.

When this work helps

You may be facing this.

A greenfield or new S/4HANA implementation is being planned
Design workshops are producing customisation requests instead of decisions
Data quality has not been assessed

How an engagement runs

Discover, assess, design, deliver.

01
Discover
Understand the business drivers, decision rights, existing systems, and what the programme is genuinely expected to change. We separate the outcomes that justify the investment from the features that merely sound desirable, so the programme has a clear purpose to steer by.
02
Assess
Review process, data, integration, controls, governance, and change readiness against the plan. We report where the plan is sound and where it rests on assumptions that will not survive contact with delivery.
03
Design
Set out the target processes, control requirements, data approach, integration model, and adoption plan. Each is documented well enough for a system integrator to build to and for you to hold them to it.
04
Deliver
Support the programme through configuration, testing, cutover, and stabilisation with independent oversight. We keep the line on scope, data readiness, and controls while the integrator delivers, and flag drift while it is still correctable.

Where we work

Delhi, India — and wherever the work is.

Fidova provides SAP consulting from Delhi, India, and supports multi-country programmes internationally, including entities with different statutory, tax, and reporting requirements across regions.

Engagements run in English, are scheduled around your time zone, and can be delivered remotely end to end, with on-site time planned where a phase genuinely benefits from being in the room.

SAP S/4HANA Migration

S/4HANA migration converts an existing SAP system to S/4HANA, handling custom code, data and simplification items. It carries the history of the current system forward, which makes early, honest analysis of that history the difference between a predictable conversion and an abandoned one.

ECC support and modernisation keeps existing SAP ECC systems stable and improves them while a future path is decided. It treats ECC as a platform still worth running well, not merely as something to be endured until migration.
