1. The scoping study

The scoping study is a complete inventory of your existing infrastructure, your needs, your internal processes and your market. We also include your ERP in our analysis.

In addition to determining the right solution, this scoping study enables us to make real functional gains and establish the best technical strategy to adopt.

3. Determining the right SAP ERP integration

Once we have determined the SAP solution and the switchover strategy best suited to your needs (Brownfied or Greenfield), our teams apply implementation methodologies that comply with SAP requirements. We follow the latest SAP recommendations to ensure rapid deployment in line with the validated roadmap.

4. Putting people first

A project of this scale cannot be complete if the people who will use the tool are not involved. As soon as the scoping study is carried out, all the company professions affected are consulted during functional workshops. Our teams can also provide you with support materials to assist your internal change management process. Finally, the SAP user training stage is essential to ensure a good overall understanding of the new ERP system.

Example of a Conseils-Plus assignment

SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud ERP integration in 4 months

After becoming independent from a group, our customer had to change ERP. They chose Conseils-Plus for the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition solution integration. 

For our client, as the first company in Ivory Coast, and more generally in Sub-Saharan Africa to adopt this ERP, Conseils-Plus had to open up the solution to this new country in order to best support its business activities, with the integration of finance, management control and purchasing modules.

The challenge was met, with express integration in just 4 months, and 25 satisfied users.

Example of a Conseils-Plus assignment

SAP S/4HANA ERP integration in 6 and a half months

Our customer wanted SAP ERP integration in less than 7 months, covering all its business activities. The deployment covered finance, controlling, production contracts, purchasing, maintenance…

The challenge could only be met through the use of CommodIS pre-configured software, drawing on its methodological package, in particular its gap analysis methodology and the construction of an iterative prototype.

It was all a success in terms of schedule and budget. The collaboration that followed led to the subsequent deployment of Business Intelligence and Human Resources management solutions.
