IT Vision & Strategy
Features of IT Vision & Strategy
Our IT Vision & Strategy service aims to achieve three main objectives:
Establish clear KPIs to ensure the success of core system implementation projects.
Optimize project costs by defining appropriate project scope and timelines.
Develop a continuous improvement plan and maximize the effectiveness of the new ERP system.
To achieve these goals, we undertake the following initiatives:
Conduct detailed interviews with clients through our consultants
Identify current system and operational challenges and propose solutions
Clarify the To-Be business processes
We utilize the SAP Signavio PA model license*, allowing our clients to use SAP Signavio’s BPM tools and process mining tools without additional contracts.
This enables efficient analysis of current processes and design of ideal business processes, even before SAP-ERP implementation. As a result, clients can select the optimal ERP system, reducing project failure risks and maximizing post-implementation benefits.
*About the SAP Signavio PA model license:
Using Avally’s license, we can build a dedicated environment with full functionality (BPM/Process Insight/Process Intelligence) for specific clients. If a client later contracts with SAP Signavio, all settings implemented in our environment can be seamlessly transferred to the client’s environment.

Discovery Assessment
The goal of the S/4HANA Cloud discovery phase is to collect essential information and insights regarding business processes, IT infrastructure, and requirements. This aims to evaluate the feasibility and appropriateness of adopting SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
During the Discovery phase, the focus is on understanding the desired outcome of an S/4HANA Cloud implementation. This involves aligning the features of S/4HANA Cloud with the business’s functional requirements. The review encompasses examining overall business needs to pinpoint S/4HANA Cloud scope items that cater to various requirements.
Additionally, the process entails identifying high-level gaps in cases where specific functionalities are not covered by available scope items.
With the new capabilities of the Digital Discovery Assessment tool, and all of the other value derived from a strong Discovery phase, this often-overlooked phase has now become a crucial first step in S/4HANA Cloud implementations.
Benefits
This Discovery Digital Assessment will help customers to decide on the right operating module of SAP S/4HANA – public cloud or private cloud. Some of the criteria to make this decision depends on various choices like extensibility, infrastructure, cost, and range of functions.
1. Target solution model
2. Implementation Scope
3. Overall project timelines
The Digital Discovery Assessment app is used during the SAP Digital Discovery to:
1. Provide clear visibility and insight into the current available capabilities of S/4HANA Cloud.
2. Centralize documentation and validation of business scope and integration requirements of SAP and non-SAP solutions within the customer’s landscape.
3. Document additional requirements identified in the customer’s landscape.
4. Generate a detailed report, that is used to validate integrations and outstanding questions that was captured during the detailed Digital Discovery Assessment workshop.

Enterprise Resource Planning is a term originally used to describe concepts and methods for management reform. This is one of management approaches for efficiency and reforms by comprehensively controlling all management resources owned by the company for optimal allocation and distribution.
SAP ERP, also known as Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing Enterprise Resource Planning, is a leading enterprise software solution used by organizations worldwide. It integrates various business processes such as accounting, human resources, sales, procurement, manufacturing, and more into a unified system. SAP ERP offers a range of modules that cater to different business functions, allowing for seamless data flow and streamlined operations. Its features include real-time analytics, automation of routine tasks, customizable workflows, and scalability to adapt to the evolving needs of businesses. With SAP ERP, organizations can improve efficiency, make data-driven decisions, enhance collaboration among departments, and achieve greater visibility and control over their operations.
The world’s best ERP system, SAP is one of the world’s leading producers of software for the management of business processes, developing solutions that facilitate effective data processing and information flow across organizations.
SAP S/4HANA is the latest version that brings together the company’s achievements.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a cloud ERP system that optimizes business processes with the help of intelligent automation and integrated technologies such as AI, Machine Learning, and Business Analytics. This provides your business with additional transparency, accessibility, agility, data accuracy, and efficiency.
Moreover, the default auto deployment of SAP S/4HANA Cloud updates provides you with access to cutting-edge technologies – with which you are always one step ahead of your competitors.
Since business processes are pre-configured in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, this SAP solution is suitable for all small and medium sized businesses that are looking for a quick and simple implementation of an ERP system. After an integration of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, your business will in fact benefit from your new ERP starting from day one.
But the cloud ERP also perfectly fits the requirements of large companies that want to take their current on-premise ERP to the next level. The two-tier landscape approach enables you to consolidate all your existing systems from multiple subsidiaries into one central IT environment, with which you can run intercompany processes.

MOVE to SAP S/4HANA
For over 50 years, SAP has been developing ERP software packages, and SAP S/4HANA represents the latest version that consolidates the company’s achievements. As a leading enterprise software provider, SAP stands among the world’s largest companies in the ERP-centric business landscape, serving some of the globe’s largest corporations. Therefore, it is certain that SAP’s ERP software will continue to be widely used worldwide in the future. However, discontinuation of support or development for software packages poses the most significant risk to a core system.
While upgrading to SAP S/4HANA offers numerous benefits, it’s important for organizations to plan and execute the migration carefully, considering factors such as data migration, customization, and training to ensure a smooth transition.
