Introduction to SAP Activate and its three pillars

The SAP Activate methodology is a modular and agile framework, which can be used for the following purposes:

  • Implementation or migration of SAP systems (with additional focus on SAP S/4HANA)
  • A unique combination of SAP best practices, methodology, and guided configuration
  • System conversion or a transformation of a larger landscape
  • It is the fastest way to simplify your operations with or without SAP S/4HANA

The salient features of SAP Activate are as follows:

  • It delivers ready-to-run business processes optimized for SAP S/4HANA with a reference solution
  • It has a set of tools for an assisted implementation, covering everything from the initial implementation of a project to running in a production environment and beyond
  • It accelerates the initial implementation of SAP S/4HANA and is designed for continuous innovation
  • It is the combination of SAP best practices, tools for an assisted implementation, and an agile methodology to simplify the adaptation of SAP S/4HANA
  • It facilitates different starting points for customers to move to S/4HANA—new implementation, system conversion, and landscape transformation
  • It uses a single methodology for all deployment modes—cloud, premise, and hybrid
