S5 5S delivery model: Scan, Simplify, Stack, Ship and Steward
THE REAL CHALLENGE

Most Nordic SAP customers we meet are stuck between two bad options.

Their current partner is selling them a 3-year, T&M, "it depends" transformation programme — built on SAP's recommended methodology, priced for a global SI, and structured to protect the vendor's margin rather than deliver an outcome.

Or they bought RISE with SAP, signed a contract, and are now running their old habits on a new platform. The ECC end-of-maintenance window — standard maintenance ends 2027, extended to 2030 — was supposed to trigger a real transformation. For most, it triggered a migration.

S5 does something different. We start with an honest assessment of where you are, what actually needs to move, and what can safely wait. You get a board-ready plan before any commitment to a programme. Fixed price. Two days. No upsell pressure.

HOW WE START

The S/4HANA Readiness Assessment

A fixed-price, 2-day engagement. Two senior consultants. You get:

A clear picture of your ECC landscape — what's standard, what's Z-code, what's dead weight
RISE vs. private cloud benchmarked against your actual footprint and budget
A phased roadmap: what to move first, what to defer, what to decommission
A board-ready summary you can use to make the decision — not another workshop proposal

Fixed price. Named senior architect. Delivery within 2 weeks of kick-off.

This is the starting point — not a commitment to a programme. Most customers use the assessment to validate or reframe an existing business case. Some discover the programme they were about to buy was twice the size it needed to be.

WHY S5

Independence. Depth. Execution.

Three things that most Nordic SAP firms cannot honestly say at the same time.

No financial reason to tell you anything but the truth

Every other SAP partner our size in the Nordics earns licence revenue, RISE quota, or referral fees from SAP. That shapes their advice — even when the people involved are good. S5 has no licence revenue to protect. We earn on delivery and outcome. Our advice is structurally different.

13 years. 30+ Nordic SAP engagements. Senior-only delivery.

We do not rotate junior consultants. Every engagement is led by a senior architect who has delivered this before. S5 Labs in Wrocław extends our capacity without compromising seniority. We have seen more S/4HANA work in the Nordics than most global SI teams.

Fixed price. Fixed timeline. Named face. You hold us to it.

We package our work as outcomes, not timesheets. The Readiness Assessment has a fixed price and fixed delivery window. The programme that follows is shaped to your situation — not copied from a global template. You know what you are buying before you commit.

ILLUSTRATIVE DELIVERY SCENARIOS

How S/4HANA transformation is shaped in practice

Every engagement is different. These are three illustrative scenarios showing how the 5S model typically takes shape across different customer situations.

S/4HANA MIGRATION WITH CLEAN CORE

Nordic industrial manufacturer on ECC with 15 years of custom code

Scan uncovered that roughly a third of the custom code was decommissionable, another third could move to standard. Migration to S/4HANA with a modern integration platform replacing PI/PO and a Fiori-based experience layer.

RISE CONTRACT VALUE RECOVERY

Engineering services customer with unused RISE credits and no ROI story

RISE contract signed, most of the entitlement idle. Quarterly value sprints activated underused functionality, improved reporting and increased contract value realisation.

REPLACING A GLOBAL SI

Taking over maintenance of an over-customised S/4HANA landscape

S5 stabilised the upgrade path, reduced long-term maintenance cost and introduced clean-core principles through incremental improvements.
