An SAP S/4HANA Phase 0 assessment is a structured pre-migration evaluation that pressure-tests your migration path, custom code assumptions, and data quality before you commit to execution. The Silicon Partners (TSP) offers a free 30-minute Phase 0 readiness call — a delivery-led conversation with a senior SAP architect drawing on 150+ S/4HANA engagements — with no commitment required and no sales pitch.
2026 is a decision window, not a panic window. But the best S/4HANA talent is being secured now, and program costs rise as the ECC deadline approaches. The right time to assess is before you feel the pressure.
WHY PHASE 0
Organizations that invest in a proper Phase 0 before beginning execution see approximately 40% faster implementation and 30% lower costs, because the decisions that determine program success (migration path, custom code disposition, data cleansing scope) are resolved when they are still inexpensive to reverse. Learn more about what TSP’s full pre-migration assessment covers.
“Phase 0 is not about producing artefacts. It is about producing certainty.”
WHAT THE 30-MINUTE CALL ADDRESSES
THE CALL FORMAT
The call follows a simple structure. No pre-reads required, no slides to sit through. Just a focused conversation between you and a senior TSP delivery leader.
We ask about your current ECC setup, your organization’s migration thinking so far, and what’s driving the timeline. This is listening, not presenting.
Based on 150+ S/4HANA engagements, we share what we typically see in landscapes like yours — the risks worth addressing early and the decisions worth making deliberately.
We’ll recommend the right next action for where you are — whether that is a full Phase 0 assessment, a specific workstream to start with, or simply waiting until a business decision is made.
TSP ATLAS
TSP ATLAS is a SAP process intelligence tool that connects in read-only mode to your live ECC system and auto-discovers every active business process, RICEFW object, and ECC-to-S/4HANA deprecation across every module.
TSP ATLAS delivers four artefacts — a process inventory, volumetric heatmap, RICEFW and Clean Core analysis, and an S/4HANA migration roadmap.
ATLAS is the intelligence engine behind TSP’s SAP S/4HANA pre-migration assessment. Unlike generic process mining platforms, ATLAS is built around SAP’s RICEFW and Clean Core extensibility model — engineered by SAP practitioners, for SAP estates.
WHAT COMES NEXT
What is an SAP S/4HANA Phase 0 assessment?
An SAP S/4HANA Phase 0 assessment is a structured pre-migration evaluation that resolves the high-risk assumptions in your migration plan before they surface mid-delivery. It covers your migration path (brownfield, greenfield, or selective data transition), custom code volume and business criticality, data quality gaps, and integration dependencies. TSP’s Phase 0 is powered by TSP ATLAS, SAP Readiness Check, and Clean Core analysis — and begins with a free 30-minute readiness call.
What is the difference between a Phase 0 assessment and SAP’s Readiness Check?
SAP’s Readiness Check is a technical tool that identifies system-level compatibility issues — add-on conflicts, simplification items, and custom code syntax. TSP’s Phase 0 assessment is a broader strategic and technical evaluation: it validates your migration path, evaluates business process complexity using TSP ATLAS, performs Clean Core analysis, and produces a migration roadmap. SAP’s Readiness Check is one input into the Phase 0 process — not the whole of it.
Who leads the Phase 0 readiness call?
The call is led by a senior TSP delivery leader — not a sales representative. TSP’s delivery team has completed 150+ S/4HANA engagements and 250+ SAP transformations. The conversation is structured around your landscape: what you’re running, what you’re planning, and what the patterns from similar programs suggest about your risk profile. You leave with a clear perspective on your next step — not a sales proposal.
What happens after the Phase 0 readiness call?
If there is a fit, TSP proposes a full pre-migration assessment engagement — typically 2–4 weeks, fixed fee, scoped to your system complexity. This involves deploying TSP ATLAS against your ECC system, running the SAP Readiness Check, performing Clean Core and RICEFW analysis, and delivering a complete migration roadmap. If the timing or readiness is not there, TSP will say so — and give you a clear view of what would need to be true before you proceed.
How much does the Phase 0 readiness call cost?
The Phase 0 readiness call is free — 30 minutes, no commitment required. The full pre-migration assessment that follows is offered at a fixed fee (scope and pricing depend on system complexity and module coverage). Contact TSP after the call to discuss.
What if we’re not ready to migrate yet?
That is a valid outcome of a Phase 0 call — and one TSP explicitly plans for. If the right answer for your organization is “not yet,” TSP will tell you that directly, along with what needs to happen before migration makes sense. The call is designed to produce clarity, not commitment. Given that SAP ECC mainstream maintenance ends December 2027, understanding where you stand now — even if you are not acting immediately — is itself valuable.
