Methods and applied technologies

adesso applied its proven SME approach to this project, aiming to implement S/4HANA as leanly and "minimally invasively" as possible for the customer. The focus was on limiting the scope to essential requirements, strategically deploying business resources, and prioritizing operational security at all times. For this brownfield migration, adesso's "active transformation" methodology was employed, which has been successfully applied in over 100 S/4 transformations and is continuously refined.
