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.

Post-Merger SAP Landscapes Break Before the Ink is Dry.

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.

M&A FOCUS

What we deliver

An SAP landscape that fits the new business without carrying the old one. Access is clean. Code is lean. Compliance is built in.

REAL-WORLD IMPACT

From Carve-Out Chaos to a Clean SAP Core at White

White, a global manufacturer of hydraulic systems, was spun out of Danfoss and needed to separate fast from a bloated SAP ECC environment. Legacy access, licenses and custom code had to be cleaned. S/4 readiness had to be achieved without dragging technical debt into the new organisation.

The result: legacy risk removed, scope reduced by 80%, and a clean, standalone SAP system ready for modernisation.
