Carve-out: How SAP projects succeed in exception mode
Carve-outs are anything but standard SAP projects. They’re more like open-heart surgery on a live system. What’s needed? Deep SAP expertise, a clear structure – and the ability to deliver under maximum time pressure.
While traditional SAP implementations often take 18 months or more, carve-outs typically need to be completed in just 3 to 6 months. Every day matters. And every mistake comes at a cost.
That’s why you need professionals who know exactly what they’re doing – experts who guide you through the process with precision, without unnecessary detours. So your transition to the new IT landscape is as smooth as possible.
This whitepaper is based on the real-world experience of T.CON consultants who manage three to five carve-out projects each year. They know what works – and what doesn’t.
While change management is a major pillar in traditional SAP projects, carve-outs demand a different focus: flawless data migration, full compliance, and a tailored SAP system that performs – even with limited resources on the business side.
What it takes is a seasoned consulting team that eases the load on your departments and enables fast, well-informed decisions.
Because carve-outs move fast – and the right partners need to be ready to hit the ground running.
