A Cen­ter of Excel­lence (COE) is com­mon­ly defined as a team, shared facil­i­ty, or enti­ty that pro­vides lead­er­ship, best prac­tices, research, sup­port, and/​or train­ing for an area of focus. An SAP COE is no dif­fer­ent; as the glob­al market’s expe­ri­ence with design­ing, imple­ment­ing, and opti­miz­ing SAP sys­tems grows, best prac­tices are con­tin­u­ous­ly mod­i­fied and new inno­v­a­tive tools are devel­oped. At the fore­front of inno­va­tion, SNP has devel­oped a plat­form, method­ol­o­gy, and approach to help sim­pli­fy­ing mul­ti-sys­tem land­scapes, and con­sol­i­date back-office sys­tems before your migra­tion to S/4HANA, and move to the cloud – all in a sin­gle go-live. Har­mo­niz­ing data offers many ben­e­fits, how­ev­er the per­ceived risks, costs, and busi­ness dis­rup­tions pre­vent many com­pa­nies from act­ing. Using a soft­ware-auto­mat­ed process that can quick­ly com­pare and con­sol­i­date mul­ti­ple sys­tems, as well as archive or decom­mis­sion lega­cy data will remove road­blocks to trans­for­ma­tion while dri­ving val­ue from exist­ing SAP applications.
