SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition – Digital Discovery Assessment

Business process overview and valuable insights to achieve your objectives

The SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Digital Discovery Assessment is a structured approach to help businesses evaluate and understand the benefits of implementing SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition. The Digital Discovery Assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of current business processes, identifies areas for improvement, and offers insights into how SAP S/4HANA can drive digital transformation. The team at Leverage Technologies uses the SAP Digital Discovery Assessment for all SAP S/4HANA prospective customers – helping guide the team at Leverage Technologies and our customers through the selection, value proposition, gap analysis and resource requirements analysis. The process that Leverage Technologies engages with prospective customers is one of careful and structured analysis from the first engagement (sales, ROI, value proposition) through to implementation (timing, resource, budget, fit to standard, industry best practice), and post go live support – ensuring success for our customers.
