Most S/4HANA Upgrade Problems Come From Missing Documentation - Not the Upgrade Itself

Many SAP teams rush into S/4HANA upgrades assuming the technical work is the hardest part.
But the real challenge appears earlier: missing, outdated, or scattered business process documentation.

Without clear documentation in Signavio or SAP Cloud ALM, teams cannot identify which processes use standard SAP functionality, which rely on custom code, or where redesign is required.
This leads to unnecessary remediation, upgrade delays, and costly surprises.

By modeling processes in Signavio and synchronizing requirements through SAP Cloud ALM, organizations gain full visibility into their current landscape.
This reduces custom code, accelerates testing, and ensures clean adoption of new S/4 innovations.

Preparing for the next upgrade doesn’t start with code.
It starts with knowing exactly how your business runs today.
