Most migrations carry the wrong processes
into the new platform.

MIRA Advisory re-engineers your business processes against SAP standard before a single program is migrated. The result is a smaller, cleaner migration scope and a decision-ready target-state design your whole program can be built on.

Chapter 01 · Why process first

Scope is unknown until too late

44% of organizations cite too many customizations as their number one migration blocker. The scope arrives after the budget is set.

Broken processes get rebuilt as broken code

Customizations built around workarounds travel straight into S/4HANA. The new platform inherits the old platform's debt.

Cost is inflated by code that should not exist

Every program that survives the carry-forward decision costs money to assess, remediate, test, and own indefinitely.

Chapter 02 · The method

The Process-to-Platform Method. Four stages. One Migration Roadmap.

1
Discover
Map what exists

End-to-end as-is process documentation. Variations, redundancy, and undocumented workarounds surfaced across all in-scope areas.

2
Benchmark
Compare to SAP standard

Every as-is process compared against SAP best practice. We identify where the client already aligns and where they diverge, with the rationale recorded for each.

3
Rationalize
Decide, process by process

Keep, standardize onto SAP standard, retire, or carry forward as justified custom code. Clean-core-first by default.

4
Target
Build the Roadmap

Future-state process design, infrastructure recommendation, and the custom-code carry-forward list that feeds directly into MIRA Platform.

Deliverable: the Migration Roadmapfeeds directly into MIRA Platform
MIRA Advisory solves this with a four-stage method.
Chapter 03 · The fit-gap

Every process scored against SAP standard. No assumptions.

For each in-scope business process, MIRA Advisory identifies whether the client already aligns to SAP standard, diverges with justification, or carries complexity that should simply be removed. The decision is recorded in the process log.

Standardize. SAP has already encoded the best-practice version of this process. Adopt it and remove the customization overhead entirely.
Keep custom. A genuine competitive differentiator that cannot be served by SAP standard. Carry it forward and remediate it through MIRA Platform.
Retire. A workaround, legacy remnant, or redundant variant that no longer serves a business purpose. Remove it entirely.

Chapter 04 · What you walk away with

The Migration Roadmap is a decision-ready document, not a slide deck.

For the CIO

Commit with confidence

A factual target-state design that tells you what you are migrating, what it will cost, and what you will own on the other side before you approve the program budget.

For the CFO

A defensible business case

The Roadmap shows the board exactly how process harmonization reduces the custom-code estate and lowers the total cost of the migration program.

For the Program Director

Scope before build

The custom-code carry-forward list hands directly into MIRA Platform's 48-hour Assessment. No scope explosions mid-program.

The Roadmap is the first step. The platform is the next.
Chapter 05 · Where to start

MIRA Advisory is the starting point. MIRA Platform is the natural next step.
