SAP’s 2027 deadline for S/4HANA migration is approaching fast.

Are you ready to ensure compliance, data integrity, and business continuity?

Embrace the Future of SAP with Confidence

SAP is one of the most widely implemented ERP systems in the Life Sciences industry, enabling businesses to manage critical processes such as materials management, procurement, production, quality, sales, and distribution.

To stay ahead, SAP recommends periodic upgrades to benefit from system improvements and ensure continued support. SAP has announced that companies must transition to its latest version, SAP S/4HANA®, which runs on its proprietary HANA® database, before the end of 2027.

Change Assessment

This exercise consists of a documented assessment where the impact of the change is analyzed from the perspective of computer system elements such as: infrastructure, software, data, governance, …

Risk Assessment

Based on the Change Assessment exercise, the potential risks of non-compliance should be identified to determine the aspects where the validation activities should focus.

Test plan

Testing activities should include:

  • Installation Qualification (IQ) where testing activities will be carried out to characterize and to verify the correct installation and configuration of the hardware/software components of the SAP S/4 HANA infrastructure.
  • Operational Qualification (OQ) where the functional verification of changes in the system functionality will be conducted, as well as verifications to demonstrate that the new system version operates as the replaced version and without including risks of GMP non-compliance.
  • Data Migration Verification which will ensure that the source data is properly migrated to the new database, this activity being especially relevant since the migration is related with critical GMP data.
  • Performance Qualification (PQ), which will allow demonstrating that the new system version is capable of performing the processes as required by the company and under the final operating environment.
