LeverX helps UK organisations make informed decisions about SAP S/4HANA transformation - from initial assessment and business case development to target architecture, process harmonisation, transformation strategy, implementation readiness, and long-term optimisation.
For organisations planning the transition from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, many of the most important decisions need to be made before implementation begins. Businesses need to understand their current SAP landscape, identify technical and process constraints, evaluate transformation scenarios, assess data and custom code, review integrations, and define a target operating model that can support future growth.
LeverX is an SAP Gold Partner and SAP Global Strategic Supplier. With more than 20 years of collaboration with SAP, 2,200+ experts, and more than 1,500 delivered projects, LeverX combines SAP consulting, engineering, data, integration, and automation capabilities to support complex enterprise transformation programmes.
As an SAP S/4HANA Consulting Partner, LeverX helps organisations assess their current environment, evaluate transformation options, define the target state, and develop a practical roadmap for SAP modernisation.
Our consultants bring together business-process, functional, technical, architecture, data, integration, and industry expertise to connect SAP decisions with broader business objectives. This enables organisations to approach S/4HANA as more than an ERP upgrade - as part of a wider transformation of processes, operating models, data, and technology.
SAP S/4HANA Consulting Across the Transformation Lifecycle
Effective S/4HANA consulting starts before implementation. Organisations need a clear view of where they are today, where they want to go, and what needs to change to get there.
LeverX supports organisations across the consulting lifecycle, including:
- SAP landscape assessment
- S/4HANA readiness assessment
- Transformation strategy and roadmap
- Greenfield, Brownfield, and Selective Data Transition advisory
- Business process assessment and harmonisation
- Solution and enterprise architecture
- SAP Clean Core strategy
- Custom-code and technical-debt assessment
- Data and integration strategy
- SAP BTP advisory
- Business case and TCO analysis
- Implementation readiness
- Change and organisational readiness
- Post-go-live optimisation
This consulting-led approach helps organisations make key SAP decisions before committing to major transformation investments and establishes a structured foundation for implementation, migration, or broader SAP landscape transformation.
SAP S/4HANA Readiness and Landscape Assessment
A successful S/4HANA programme starts with a fact-based understanding of the environment being transformed.
LeverX assesses the SAP landscape across technology, business processes, data, custom development, integrations, and organisational requirements to identify constraints, risks, opportunities, and priorities.
SAP Landscape and Architecture
LeverX reviews the current SAP environment, including system architecture, SAP components, infrastructure, interfaces, dependencies, extensions, and surrounding applications.
The assessment provides a clear view of how the existing environment supports the business and which elements may constrain future S/4HANA transformation.
It can identify:
- Legacy components and dependencies
- Architectural constraints
- Redundant systems and capabilities
- Integration dependencies
- Infrastructure considerations
- Opportunities for simplification
Business Process Assessment
Technology decisions are more effective when they reflect how the business actually operates.
LeverX assesses core business processes to identify inefficiencies, inconsistent ways of working, unnecessary customisation, and opportunities to align processes with SAP Best Practices.
The assessment can cover:
- Process mapping
- Process maturity
- Process harmonisation
- Fit-to-standard opportunities
- Manual workarounds
- Cross-functional dependencies
- Automation opportunities
Custom Code and Technical Debt
Existing custom developments can significantly influence the complexity and cost of an S/4HANA transformation.
LeverX reviews custom functionality to determine what should be retained, adapted, redesigned, replaced with standard SAP capabilities, moved to an extension architecture, or retired.
This supports a more maintainable target landscape and provides a foundation for broader SAP Clean Core and architecture advisory initiatives.
Data Readiness
Data quality and structure can materially affect the success of an S/4HANA transformation.
LeverX assesses master data, transactional data, historical information, dependencies, data quality, and transformation requirements to identify where cleansing, harmonisation, archiving, or migration may be required.
Integration Assessment
S/4HANA transformation extends beyond the ERP system itself.
LeverX reviews connections between SAP and CRM, HR, finance, manufacturing, warehouse, logistics, legacy, cloud, and third-party applications to determine what should be retained, redesigned, replaced, or modernised.
Transformation Readiness
The assessment also considers organisational readiness, project dependencies, stakeholder requirements, and the business changes associated with the target SAP environment.
The result is a structured view of what needs to change before transformation begins and which activities should be prioritised.
SAP S/4HANA Strategy and Roadmap Consulting
Once the current SAP environment is understood, LeverX helps organisations define the right transformation approach and build a practical roadmap aligned with business objectives, investment priorities, and technical requirements.
Transformation Scenarios
LeverX evaluates the most appropriate approach based on the existing SAP landscape, including:
- Greenfield transformation
- Brownfield system conversion
- Selective Data Transition
- SAP landscape consolidation
- Hybrid transformation scenarios
The evaluation considers customisation, process maturity, data and integration requirements, business change objectives, and the target operating model.
Business Case and TCO
LeverX supports transformation business cases through:
- TCO and investment analysis
- Scenario evaluation
- Investment prioritisation
- Value opportunity assessment
- Roadmap sequencing
Transformation Roadmap
The resulting roadmap defines key priorities, workstreams, dependencies, target architecture, data and integration requirements, implementation phases, and milestones - giving business and IT stakeholders a clear path from strategy to execution.
SAP S/4HANA Solution Architecture
The target SAP environment should support the future operating model rather than simply replicate the existing landscape on a new platform.
LeverX architects align business requirements with SAP applications, integrations, data, cloud platforms, and extension technologies to define a scalable and maintainable target architecture.
Our architecture consulting covers:
- Enterprise and SAP solution architecture
- SAP module and capability assessment
- Integration and data architecture
- Cloud and hybrid architecture
- SAP BTP and extension strategy
- Technical architecture assessment
- Architecture governance
The result is a target architecture designed for scalability, maintainability, integration, security, and long-term business requirements.
SAP Business Process Consulting for S/4HANA
S/4HANA transformation is an opportunity to redesign business processes around SAP capabilities rather than simply replicate existing ways of working.
LeverX helps organisations assess, harmonise, and optimise core processes using fit-to-standard principles and SAP best practices.
Our consulting covers:
- Finance
- Procurement
- Sales
- Manufacturing
- Supply chain
- Asset management
- HR
- Product lifecycle management
- Cross-functional processes
This approach helps simplify operations, improve process consistency, and reduce unnecessary customisation in the target S/4HANA environment.
SAP Clean Core Consulting
Clean Core is a key consideration in S/4HANA transformation. LeverX helps organisations assess custom code, customisations, extensions, and integrations and define how differentiated business requirements should be handled in the target SAP architecture.
Our consulting covers:
- Custom-code and customisation assessment
- Fit-to-standard decisions
- Extension strategy
- SAP BTP advisory
- Integration strategy
- Technical-debt reduction
- Clean Core roadmap
This approach helps reduce unnecessary customisation and create an SAP core that is easier to maintain, upgrade, and evolve.
SAP Data and Integration Strategy
S/4HANA transformation extends beyond the ERP core. LeverX helps organisations define the data, integration, and platform architecture required to support the target SAP environment.
Data Strategy
LeverX assesses data quality, governance, master data, migration requirements, and analytics to establish a reliable data foundation for S/4HANA.
Integration Strategy
We assess SAP and non-SAP integrations and define the target architecture, integration patterns, API strategy, and connectivity requirements across cloud, legacy, and third-party systems.
SAP BTP Advisory
LeverX uses SAP Business Technology Platform to support extensions, integration, automation, data, and applications while keeping the SAP core maintainable and aligned with Clean Core principles.
S/4HANA Implementation Readiness
Before implementation begins, LeverX helps organisations establish the foundations for execution and align business and IT teams around the transformation plan.
Key areas include:
- Scope and priorities
- Business-process alignment
- Target architecture
- Migration and data strategy
- Integration requirements
- Custom-code priorities
- Testing approach
- Governance and project organisation
- Implementation roadmap
This preparation helps reduce uncertainty, clarify requirements, and create a stronger foundation for S/4HANA implementation.
