during our project?

• Depending on how you decide to do your digital transformation, you will have multiple
freeze periods during go lives that need to be considered and do we have an approval
process for these periods?
• How are you going to account for the dual landscape maintenance while your project is
happening?
• How can we ensure we remain compliant with Audit processes?
• What 3rd party solutions or tools are available to help us streamline this?

15. Best Practices for your S/4HANA project for SAP Change Management
12/19/2019 REALTECH Inc. © 2019 15
• Proper planning is key and Automate as much as possible
• Consider the processes you have today, there will be more management needed
during your project and consider your retrofit processes
• A dual maintenance landscape is coming so you should consider a solution that
lowers your risk with proactive checks before it TR’s get imported and is also easy
to implement and administer
• Implement a one-stop shop for compliance and auditing – your auditors will thank
you!
• With SAP’s clean core concept - you will have more interfacing to your S/4HANA
system and will need a tool to manage these interfaces
