São Paulo, May 2024 – Digital Transformation permeates many aspects of our daily lives. From simple tasks to the most complex, digitalization shapes the way we live, work and relate. In the corporate world it is no different. Technology plays a crucial role, automating processes, centralizing information and facilitating resource management.

In this scenario, SAP, a global leader in business management systems, is not left behind. Constantly evolving, it integrates technologies such as artificial intelligence and IoT to offer more and more innovation. However, to fully take advantage of these capabilities, adequate user preparation is essential. An SAP study showed that S/4HANA, the new version of the software, can reduce system-related working time by up to 70%, in addition to reducing the error rate by almost zero and increasing employee productivity by 44%.

The Importance of Employee Training

Tiago Henrique Feltrin, Director of Technology & Digital at Hypera Pharma, says that one of the organization's main concerns regarding migration was the adaptation of employees. Because of this, the migration is being done gradually so that everyone can enjoy the advantages. “The more technological environment is beneficial to employees, as it provides better performance. The new tool allows us, for example, to centralize processes and opens up space for updating our own culture. But it is important to take into account the adaptation process of employees, who must be trained for this change, in addition to bringing these updates to our organizational culture”, highlights the director.

Paulo Secco, CEO and founder of Mignow, a market leader in SAP upgrades that carried out the Hypera Pharma migration, comments on the development of Miglearning. This tool was created to train employees in the use of SAP. “Miglearning was born out of educational need. We are committed to ensuring that employees make the most of the resources offered by SAP. The tool not only empowers users to use the system more efficiently, but also adds value to the final delivery to the customer, providing a more prepared and competitive organization”, highlights Secco.

Benefits of SAP for the Organization

In its new system, SAP provides quick and clear analysis of indicators such as order processing time and consistency between invoices and orders. Furthermore, the document approval process can now be done via application, making the operation easier. Migrating to S/4HANA represents an opportunity to optimize internal processes and align with market demands.

However, this transition often faces challenges, especially when it comes to employees adapting to new interfaces and functionalities. According to SAP, the use of a new system can cause a drop of up to 20% in production efficiency, due to user problems with the software, which highlights the need for training.

Challenges and Solutions in Training

Users may need adaptations to Fiori, the new S/4HANA interface and modules, due to the complexity and constant evolution of the software. “An employee accustomed to SAP GUI, from ECC, realizes the need to update their knowledge when faced with Fiori, feeling challenged by the differences and motivated to explore new functionalities”, explains Marcel Nakazawa, Head of COE at Mignow and creator from the project.

To address this challenge, Miglearning offers regularly updated supporting materials, allowing users to track changes and interpret information effectively. This helps with important steps such as running reports to assess inconsistencies and their context. Furthermore, the tool offers a step-by-step guide for different types of situations, not only in the conversion stage, but also throughout the process of using SAP. “Miglearning acts as a guide for users, helping them to contextualize changes and interpret information independently”, concludes the expert.

The Need to Stay Updated

It is worth noting that remaining in the old system implies the loss of valuable resources. SAP focuses its efforts on improving new functionality, such as CA indicator reporting, on technologies such as Fiori or SAQ, rather than on its legacy reports. Being up to date allows you to absorb new tasks that can be carried out in a simplified way through the software.

Paulo Secco highlights the updates that were made to Fiori reports in the latest version released in November 2023. He highlights that it was common to access three reports in SAP Gui, while a single report in Fiori provides the same information. Furthermore, it highlights the graphical improvement of reports, allowing the creation of pie or column charts, something that was not possible before.

Preparation and Competitiveness

By investing in employee training and adopting tools such as Miglearning, organizations can face the challenges of Digital Transformation with confidence and ensure a competitive and sustainable future. Continuing education and familiarization with technological innovations not only increase the efficiency of internal processes, but also prepare the workforce to quickly adapt to market changes.

Organizations that are dedicated to training their employees in the use of SAP ensure that each team member is well equipped to use the system's tools and functionalities effectively. This, in turn, increases overall productivity and quality of operations, providing a more collaborative and dynamic work environment.

Success Stories and Real Impact

The effectiveness of the software has been proven in large projects with companies such as Votorantim, Localiza and Pague Menos, in addition to carrying out the fastest migration in the world in just 18 days for the construction company RFM. “Mignow’s AI identifies errors and bugs in the client’s system and proposes automatic solutions, which drastically reduces project time,” explains Nakazawa. Furthermore, the software performs the conversion of Custom Codes in an automated way, with the possibility of reducing manual intervention to just 1% or up to 0.5%.

By Paulo Secco, CEO and founder of Mignow

In my career of more than two decades in the technology sector in renowned companies collaborating with some of the main technological partners in Brazil, I have noticed a significant transformation in the way companies approach sustainability. This evolution is no longer a trend, but a necessity, especially considering the current global environmental scenario. Being sustainable is no longer an option but an essential requirement for survival and success in today's competitive market.

Organizations that ignore sustainable practices not only face a loss of monetary value through cost-saving opportunities such as energy efficiency, but they also lose market relevance. The demand for sustainability, now more than ever, is driven by consumers themselves, who measure companies by the yardstick of their practices and choose to support those that demonstrate real commitment to the environment.

Given this reality, it is crucial not only to implement more sustainable internal processes, from the production chain to office services, but also to develop business practices that promote sustainability. It is alarming to know that, in 2021, just six companies were responsible for 71.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to a study by the Institute of Energy and Environment (IEMA). This data emphasizes the role of organizations in reducing these emissions and combating climate change.

Reducing carbon emissions, for example, contributes to the objective set by the UN to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Adopting the “Carbon Neutral” status goes beyond a mere symbolism of environmental commitment; It is a concrete step towards counterbalancing the negative effects of business activities on global warming.

Among efforts to promote business sustainability, the transition from fixed servers to cloud-based solutions stands out as a concrete example. By making it easier for organizations to migrate to the cloud, we see a direct impact on energy efficiency and resource management. This impact is so significant that it placed SAP among the top three on the list of 23 vendors evaluated by the IDC Sustainability Index for Software Vendors.

By migrating from a physical server to the cloud, companies ensure not only a reduction in gas emissions and energy consumption, but also an advantageous position, through the direct reduction of servers and improved energy efficiency. Furthermore, organizations that present sustainable concerns and initiatives are more prepared for the future. Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, incorporated into the conversion process, can help even further, reducing migration time and leading the company to a more sustainable environment with reduced project time and cost.

Furthermore, migration to the cloud has proven to increase employee productivity, saving time and resources on activities such as cash closing or payroll processing, which used to take a long time and are now significantly faster and more efficient with the use of advanced systems. such as SAP S/4HANA.

An example of the positive impact of these technological innovations on sustainability is the case of Carrefour, which, by adopting cloud hosting, not only achieved a significant reduction of 45% in its energy consumption, but also a notable reduction of 40% in its operational costs. . This transformation also resulted in a considerable reduction in carbon emissions, highlighting the positive environmental impact of innovative technological decisions.

Based on this assumption, the migration to SAP and the adoption of cloud computing emerge as business solutions that can reduce the environmental impact of operations. As more organizations join the system, the environmental impact will be significantly lower.

When reflecting on the importance of sustainability in the business world, it becomes clear that energy consumption is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, by adopting sustainable technological practices and solutions, we are not only benefiting organizations in terms of efficiency and savings, but also contributing significantly to the preservation of the environment.

The commitment to innovation and sustainability drives digital transformation with a focus on reducing environmental impact. The integration of advanced technological solutions with sustainable business practices can not only foster business success, but also significantly contribute to a more sustainable and green future for generations to come.

Mignow works on modernization in Brazil, aiming for an economic transition; the partnership aims to equip companies to participate in the future of business.

Technological evolution is a fundamental pillar for business success on a global scale. In this scenario, SAP positions itself as a vector of transformation, leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning (ML) to redefine the management of internal processes. This innovation not only promises to transform business operations, but also establishes a new paradigm in the use of ERP, translating the latest into the best and most used software, SAP.
 

With the global economy increasingly interconnected with SAP solutions, evidenced by the fact that approximately 75% of the world's GDP is connected to companies that use its solutions, the importance of technological updates and adaptations becomes unavoidable.
 

According to a SAP report, the year 2023 marked a significant advance in the adoption of cloud solutions, with a 20% increase in global revenue, reaching the €13.66 billion mark – a notable growth of 23%. The SAP S/4HANA Cloud platform saw a 67% jump in revenue to €3.49 billion, reflecting a 72% increase in demand. Brazil stood out in this scenario, emerging as one of the leading countries in cloud adoption. The trend highlights the search for operational efficiency, highlighting the advantages of cloud computing such as cost reduction, easier access and improved data analysis, as well as the elimination of complexity in managing physical hardware.

In response to this need, Mignow appears as an agent of change in Brazil, specializing in SAP modernization. Founded by Paulo Secco and Guilherme Joventino, the company stands out for automating migration processes, facilitating the transition to more advanced versions of the software, such as SAP S/4HANA, and promoting a more agile and economical implementation.

“Mignow was created based on an in-depth analysis of traditional conversions, identifying the main needs and gaps in the market, highlighting the end of ECC support in 2027. Currently, digital transformation is no longer a choice but has become a requirement critical for companies that want to remain competitive. We take on the responsibility of simplifying this process, enabling organizations to focus on their competencies while we manage the complexity of the migration”, declares Paulo Secco, CEO of Mignow.

Cloud computing is a response to the global need to reduce operational costs and improve data management. Together with technological giants such as AWS, Microsoft and Google, Mignow has transitioned its customers to the cloud, offering benefits in flexibility and efficiency. “Integrating innovative technologies enables a wide range of improvements, from saving time and resources to sophisticated data analysis.

Technological Innovation and Efficient Solutions Shape the Technology Consulting Market

By December 2027, SAP ECC ERP users must convert to SAP S/4Hana, otherwise they will lose SAP Enterprise Support

Over the last three years, Mignow has stood out in the area of automating migration processes from ERP SAP ECC to SAP S/4Hana. The company initiated 61 projects, achieved 29 successful go lives and established 53 strategic partnerships, both national and international. The year 2023, in particular, was remarkable for Mignow, with the addition of 20 new customers and the establishment of 30 new partnerships. In this interview, Guilherme Joventino, COO of Mignow, tells how the company has been taking advantage of the good moment in the market.

How was Mignow born?

Mignow was born out of a market need. There are around 40 thousand SAP large enterprise customers around the world who need to move from SAP ECC ERP to SAP S/4Hana, otherwise they will lose SAP Enterprise Support. This means that, after December 2027, if Petrobras had not gone to SAP S/4Hana, it would no longer be entitled to updates, for example, invoices. In Brazil, we are talking about more or less 1,300 customers who need to make this migration, and now we have less than four years. We should give more than 200 go lives per year and this is not happening and we do not have consultants available on the market to meet this demand. Mignow was born from a spin-off from another consulting partner SAP, which began developing an accelerator at the end of 2016 and launched in 2019. We identified that the product had enormous potential and created this spin-off to have a life of its own. .

Are there other opportunities on the market?

The second problem we identified is that the SAP lifecycle is now different than it was in the past. Previously, an ECC version could go 10 or 15 years without an update. Today, there is only a maximum of 7 years to upgrade, otherwise the customer will lose support. For example, the last ECC update is from 2015, which is already 9 years old. All customers who implemented the first versions of S/4Hana have already lost initial support and have had to perform at least one upgrade. In 2028 we will have 48 thousand customers to upgrade, which means more than 7.3 thousand go lives per year. This is another problem that no one paid attention to and that is even bigger than what is happening today. The customer is paying 22% for SAP support, which is extremely expensive, and is not receiving any of the new functionality.

How does Mignow work?

Looking at all this, we thought about how to solve this problem. It is possible to do it manually, but it is not feasible. We started to develop a solution based on RPA, which works with loads of data, taking it from one side to the other, but it is not a conversion. In a conversion you need to understand the business, have intelligence. We then looked for some Artificial Intelligence tools in 2017 to develop what we now call Mignow. Today, Mignow is the first software capable of keeping SAP up to date. I not only upgrade from ECC version to S/4Hana, but also from S/4Hana to S/4Hana. Today, we are a partner certified by SAP itself, we are on the SAP marketplace, we have some interesting ESG versions, we are leaders in some quadrants with automation for Rise with SAP, which is SAP's new SaaS. Mignow is software that complements Rise with SAP.

What are the benefits for customers?

In a conversion project, we provide more than 80% of automation, but some tasks need to be done manually. We have a case from a large Brazilian retailer that had almost 19 thousand customized objects, it had to adjust 7.5 thousand objects for the new version of S/4Hana. After we ran Mignow, we only needed to add 140 objects, a very significant reduction. If we transform this into hours, it would be necessary to understand, adjust and test each of these 7.5 thousand codes, which would take more than 30 thousand hours. With Mignow, we did it in a total of 2 thousand hours.

Which clients does Mignow have in its portfolio?

Today we have large clients, such as Carrefour, Drogaria Pague Menos, Votorantim, Eurofarma, Randon, among others in Brazil and also outside Brazil, such as Galler (Belgian chocolate shop), EOC (Netherlands), Longping (China), Alouette (Canada) , we are now doing the Central Bank of Costa Rica, a large retailer in Honduras, in addition to a range of pipeline to close around the world. We are now opening our first branch outside Brazil in North America.

Does Mignow also implement SAP?

We do not implement SAP, only the conversion. We are today the only SAP partner in the world 100% specialized in conversion and we only work with that. No SAP partner, who implements the ERP, enters into a contract providing for the update to a new version. When a partner sells SAP, he sells the implementation, a project. Go live, the project is over. This is where an AMS (Application Management Service) comes in, which in the end is support for application management and maintenance, but not a version update. For the market, the update is considered a new project.

What are Mignow's plans?

The December 2027 date when ECC customers who do not convert to S/4Hana will lose support is the first driver of Mignow's business. There is a second driver: customers who already have S/4Hana discover that they need to update more frequently and that is where we come in again. To meet this customer need we changed our business model. We do not sell it as a project, but as a three-year subscription contract for the customer to be entitled to updates and one upgrade per year. Our purpose is to create a new category in the market, we want to be an ERP update company, outsourcing the update process via software. There are other companies that provide this service, but they are more expensive and time consuming. That's why we have several important partners providing this service using Mignow, such as Deloitte, Cast Group, Atos, ITS, Vexia, T-Systems, Neoris, Essence and other big names. There are around 60 partners around the world using Mignow in their SAP conversion projects.

Normal support for SAP's ERP ends in 2027 and customers need to move.

SAP is a crucial system for storing and organizing business data, playing a key role in improving internal processes. SAP is committed to continually updating its software, prioritizing the development of new versions and, consequently, discontinuing old ones.

This strategy aims to encourage customers to migrate to the latest versions, such as SAP S/4HANA, ensuring they benefit from the most advanced innovations and efficiencies available.

The discontinuation of ECC, announced in 2020 by SAP, is an important milestone. Companies that still use the second generation of software need to migrate to SAP S/4HANA by 2027 to avoid using an obsolete system and high costs.

This transition is also necessary to maintain Enterprise Support, technical support that provides benefits such as access to regular updates, bug fixes and patches, identification of potential problems with and assistance, access to libraries, technical documentation and educational materials.

In addition, Enterprise Support provides analysis of factors such as areas in which SAP can help improve production times, provide data and information to improve the organization's inventories, for example. 

In this step, when all versions of a generation are discontinued, this generation is terminated in SAP and all users still in it must migrate.

Until they carry out this migration process, they will be charged 2% of the value of their contract to continue using the system. This detail highlights the urgency and importance of updating to the latest version of the software.

The migration challenge is not small, considering the number of companies affected and the resources required. With more than 1,300 companies in Brazil and 40,000 worldwide needing to migrate, the time and labor available suggest that it may not be possible for everyone to complete the transition by the established deadline.

Digitizing internal processes offers significant benefits, including greater operational efficiency, reduced errors, increased productivity, improved security, faster analysis, as well as greater simplicity and flexibility during processes.

These improvements directly impact organizations' revenue and are essential for agile business models.

OS/4HANA is also evolving to, among other things, adapt to future trends that are part of digital transformation, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain and advanced data analytics.

These future trends are shaping the digital transformation of companies, driving innovation, improving customer experience and creating new business models.

Unlike the previous version, the system was designed and developed in accordance with the organizations' current operating model, adapting better to changes. This demand came from the companies themselves, which expanded into new markets and created new needs.

Previously, the processes consumed a lot of time and resources, since the previous version was created for business models that did not change so quickly, in addition to no longer supporting technological advances on the market. 

Another example is reports, which are simpler and provide more complete information with fewer clicks, which helps save time and resources, increasing employee productivity by being able to deliver results more quickly and efficiently. 

Designed to meet the current demands of organizations, SAP S/4HANA facilitates changes, acquisitions and the introduction of new sales channels. The new interface, Fiori, optimizes operations, minimizes data redundancies and accelerates decision making, standing out for its flexibility and ease of use.

From its intelligent data design reduces aggregate tables and data redundancy for greater efficiency, instead of storing data in a data warehouse and waiting for it to load, the system provides faster analysis and insights. 

OS/4 HANA is also designed to work with the in-memory database (IMDB), offering fast recovery and optimized performance. IMDB stores data in RAM instead of traditional disks or SSDs and is 3,600 times faster than traditional databases, with a response time of less than 1 second.

Banks are used in applications that require speed and capacity, such as telecommunications and banking systems can adopt in-memory banks for analytics, predictive modeling and more.

Existing business transactions and analytics capabilities also accelerate insights, enabling decisions to be made easily and quickly and business processes to be carried out in a single application with a single source of facts, without having to switch between systems and applications .

In addition, the update provides a 20% reduction in inventory cost and 30% in total cost of ownership, in addition to a 50% reduction in billing process time.

Furthermore, this version significantly improves security, offering protection against intrusions and cyber threats. The migration process is simplified, with regular updates that improve security, fix bugs and introduce new features, leaving ECC behind by more than 3 thousand features compared to S/4HANA.

This underlines the critical need to update to maintain competitiveness and prepare for the future.
