Project description

Our Client is undertaking the most significant digital transformation, where a cornerstone is the delivery of consistent, accurate, and trusted data into the future SAP S/4 HANA-based ecosystem and associated technology stack.

The size of the project team is above 200 people.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute a detailed transition plan (incl. business and tech milestones, timelines, and deliverables) to guide the organization through the shift to new systems, processes, and technologies. Articulate what day 1 looks like.

Lead a highly technical, analytical, and cross-functional cutover workstream that integrates governance, multi-cycle testing readiness (SIT/UAT/Rehearsals), data and environment readiness, business dependencies, and financial and inventory compliance to ensure a fully controlled and risk-mitigated transition. Ensure support mechanisms are in place to assist users during the transition phase (incl. hypercare, FAQs, and user guides).

Ensure the transition plan is executed within timelines and with minimal disruption to operations. Coordinate the execution of transition tasks, including data migration, system cutovers, and the introduction of new tools or processes.

Identify potential risks and challenges associated with the transition. Create a robust mitigation plan to de-risk and ensure business continuity.

Maintain all stakeholders informed of progress, issues, and key updates related to the transition. Report on transition status and recommend any required adjustments.

Ensure new systems/processes are fully adopted, and legacy systems/processes are deprecated.

Gather feedback from stakeholders and end-users, evaluate the effectiveness of the transition, and recommend improvements as necessary. Document the impact of the transition on business operations, teams. Gather lessons learned throughout the transition process and present to key stakeholders.
