Best Practices & Lessons Learned

Avoiding Security Roadblocks to SAP S/4HANA Migrations

ON DEMAND

Moving to SAP S/4HANA is a complex process, requiring collaboration from multiple stakeholders across the business to deliver the project on time and on budget.  All too often, security ends up being a roadblock to meeting those goals, but it doesn’t have to be.

KPMG and Onapsis work side-by-side with organizations to build security into their SAP S/4HANA migrations to avoid setbacks and establish secure SAP operating models. Join us for a conversation on best practices for a security-by-design approach based on our experience helping customers migrate their systems. Topics include:

  • Aligning stakeholders across security, IT, SAP Basis, and internal audit
  • Putting security-by-design into practice without interfering with or burdening SAP teams
  • The three biggest challenges we hear for each stage of a migration project and how to overcome them
  • Other lessons learned from our customers, so you can avoid those challenges yourself
