Enhance ERP Systems with Robust Quality Management

Modernize ERP systems and prevent operational hiccups, reduce implementation risks, and boost business agility.

As organizations shift to advanced systems like SAP S/4HANA, effective management of data migration risks, integration complexities, and resource constraints are essential to ensure seamless operations and maintain a competitive edge.

According to our State of Worldwide Business Assurance for SAP solutions report, 40% of organizations believe data migration to be the top challenge during advanced SAP implementations. Additionally, 61.5% of organizations expect automated testing to boost efficiency by up to 50%.

We can empower you to navigate ERP modernization with confidence. Our streamlined, automated quality processes both simplify the transition and also boost ongoing operations to minimize disruption, cut costs, and ensure a reliable, future-proof ERP system. Critical pain points like integration challenges, system downtime, and the hassle of outdated processes are addressed early and tackled head-on.

Empower your business with phased, end-to-end solutions that bring strategic insight and innovation, helping your organization navigate challenges and drive growth.

1. Assess and plan

Documenting your ERP system’s current capabilities, limitations, and pain points is the crucial first stage. Next, we can help you set modernization goals aligned with your business strategy. After defining the budget, timeline, and resources, we’ll identify the risks and establish mitigation strategies together.

For re-engineering quality engineering processes, we update requirement-gathering techniques to align with modern ERP functionalities. We refine these methods, develop a comprehensive test strategy and ensure thorough testing and smooth integration.

2. Design and blueprint

This stage is designed to develop a comprehensive blueprint for the new ERP system, detailing process flows and system architecture. During solution design, we aim for a “clean core” by minimizing customizations and maximizing standard cloud ERP functionalities. We guide you in leveraging these features and ensure full stakeholder alignment to the proposed design.

For quality engineering, implement rigorous design reviews and validation processes to ensure alignment with business requirements. We help establish these verification processes, prototypes, and proofs-of-concept to validate design decisions early in the process.

3. Develop and configure

During the build phase, develop and configure the ERP system per the established blueprint. We can assist in this development and configuration, to integrate seamlessly with existing systems and external applications. We handle development, customizations, and maintain a clean core ERP environment while balancing custom features with standard functionalities.

For quality engineering processes, we establish CI/CD pipelines to automate testing and deployment processes. We help set up these pipelines, implement rigorous static code analysis, and code review processes to ensure high code quality, every time.

4. Test and validate

Conduct thorough unit, integration, system, and user acceptance testing with our support. We ensure your system meets performance benchmarks and user expectations by promptly identifying and resolving defects and performance bottlenecks.

We enhance automated testing to cover regression, performance, and security aspects, expanding your capabilities and implementing robust test data management strategies to maintain consistency and integrity throughout the testing process.

5.Deploy and go-live

Develop and execute a detailed cutover plan for transitioning from legacy systems to your new ERP. Sogeti can assist in creating and implementing this plan, ensuring accurate data migration and effective management of the process. We support end-user training on new processes and system functionalities and provide comprehensive training programs.

For quality engineering processes, we help automate deployment processes to reduce errors and minimize downtime. We also validate training effectiveness through feedback and performance assessments.

6. Post go-live support and optimization

Monitor the system to ensure stability and quickly address any post-go-live issues. Sogeti supports this stabilization phase by collecting feedback for ongoing system optimization and enhancements. We assist in analyzing feedback, implementing tools, and setting processes for continuous performance monitoring.

For quality engineering, establish a robust incident management process for rapid issue resolution. We can help create and maintain this process, along with implementing continuous monitoring and alerting systems to proactively detect and address issues.
