SAP S/4HANA

SAP S/4HANA project recovery

When an S/4HANA program stalls or a partner exits, TSP steps in, works out what can be reused, and gets you to go-live on a plan you can trust.

Certified partners

  • SAP

The Silicon Partners (TSP) takes over stalled or troubled SAP S/4HANA programs, including ones another partner has left. TSP starts with a short, independent review of what’s built, tested and decided, reuses everything that holds up, re-plans the rest with your team, and leads the program through testing, cutover and go-live.

Warning signs

Signs your S/4HANA program needs a reset

Two executives reviewing agile board

  • Dates keep moving

    Go-live has slipped more than once, and nobody believes the current plan.

  • Testing never finishes

    Defects pile up faster than they’re fixed, and test cycles keep repeating.

  • Data won’t reconcile

    Mock conversions keep failing, or the numbers never quite match.

  • Scope keeps growing

    Requirements change every week, and nobody owns the final design.

  • Your partner has left

    Your partner exited or lost key people, and knowledge left with them.

  • Spend is ahead of progress

    The budget is running down faster than the work, and patience is running out.

Why do S/4HANA projects stall?

Most stalled programs share a few causes: decisions made before anyone understood the system, data problems found late, testing done by hand, and too much custom code carried across. Few stall because of S/4HANA itself. Once those causes are fixed, much of the work already done is usually reusable.

How Phase 0 prevents this

How it works

How a TSP recovery works

  1. Review

    A short, independent review of what’s built, tested, documented and decided, with your team and the previous partner’s material. TSP ARIA Project reads the existing project documents to rebuild the requirements trail quickly.

  2. Decide what to keep

    Every piece of completed work is sorted into keep, fix or redo, so nothing that works gets thrown away.

  3. Re-plan

    A new baseline for scope, timeline and test strategy that your steering committee can stand behind.

  4. Stabilize

    Data, testing and integrations come under control first, with automated regression testing and TSP ARIA Test catching defects earlier.

FAQ

Questions about Project recovery

Straight answers to what SAP leaders ask us most.

Talk to an SAP expert

Can TSP take over from our current partner mid-program?

Yes. We plan the handover with you and, where possible, with the outgoing partner, so documents and knowledge transfer before their team leaves.

What can usually be reused from a stalled program?

Often more than expected: configuration, design documents, data mappings, custom developments and test cases. The review checks each against your requirements and keeps whatever holds up.

Will we have to start over?

Rarely. Starting over is the most expensive option and is usually avoidable. The review tells you plainly if it’s the right call for your program.

How quickly can a recovery start?

The review starts as soon as we have access to your systems and project documents, and it ends with a clear recommendation and a new plan.
