Mergers & Acquisitions
M&A looks strategic on paper. In SAP it often turns into collision.
Access models overlap. Licenses duplicate. Compliance gaps open. Legacy code slips into the future state. The cost doesn’t show up immediately. It arrives during audits, migrations or the next license negotiation.
INDUSTRY CHALLENGE
Post-Merger SAP Landscapes Break Before the Ink is Dry.
When companies merge, their SAP baggage merges too. Roles duplicate. SoD rules clash. License spend climbs. Custom code grows. SAP becomes harder to migrate, govern and secure.
The symptoms show up quickly: compliance drift, audit noise, stalled migrations and license cost with nothing to show for it.
Left alone, these issues settle in. A rebuilt structure removes them before they become the new normal

How we operate
What SAP Must Look Like After the Deal Closes
Roles
Full Role and SoD Model Redesign
Duplicated and conflicting roles are replaced with one clean SoD-safe model aligned to the new organisation.
Licensing
Usage-Driven License Alignment
Licenses match real system usage. Shelfware disappears. Over-licensing stops.
Landscape
Consolidating SAP Into a Single, Lean Footprint
Only relevant data, code and objects move forward. Everything else is retired before it inflates future cost.
Migration
S/4 Preparation With Legacy Noise Removed
Needed custom code is converted, with 97% handled automatically.
Compliance
Controls That Hold From Day One
Compliance gaps close fast. Conflicts are blocked. Embedded workflows prevent access drift.
Security
Hardening SAP for Carve-Outs and Transitions
Access points, configurations and interfaces are hardened so misconfigurations don’t travel into the new organisation.
