The Solutions

Korcomptenz, with its extensive experience in ERP consultation, implementation, and support services spreading over more than two decades outlined a strategic approach that suited the client’s requirements.
Based on the initial assessment by using the SAP Activate methodology along with its custom best practices, Korcomptenz strategized the transition by using the SAP SLO (System Landscape Optimization) toolset, NZDT (Near Zero Downtime) methodology, and automation.
The implementation team deemed SAP SLO to be the ideal approach to ensure rapid delivery and increased accuracy when compared to a traditional SAP implementation methodology.
Data was harmonized and migrated to a unified platform with precise accuracy. The Client’s requirements were completely met within NZDT (Near Zero Downtime) with SAP SLO, when compared to conventional transition approaches.
