What is a Safe Passage analysis?
Safe Passage Analysis is a specialized service tailored for manufacturers and enterprises looking to transition their Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to SAP Digital Manufacturing (DM).
It’s ideal for customers currently using SAP Manufacturing Execution (ME), SAP Manufacturing Integration & Intelligence (MII) or a third-party MES system and planning to migrate to SAP DM. Whether you’re moving to S/4HANA, transitioning to the cloud, or simply reaching the end of your current MES’s lifecycle, Safe Passage Analysis is designed to ensure a smooth and strategic migration path.
What to expect?
The Safe Passage analysis provides a step-by-step assessment of your current MES landscape, aligning your requirements with SAP DM capabilities. As part of this package, we offer a high-level estimate of costs, efforts, and lead time, including a 2-day onsite workshop and an approximate 1-month lead time for delivery.
Who is Safe Passage Analysis For?
- Current SAP ME or SAP MII customers facing the end of SAP ME and SAP MII support.
- Organizations with a third-party MES that are interested in migrating to SAP Digital Manufacturing.
- Customers transitioning to S/4HANA who want to ensure MES compatibility.
- Businesses looking to migrate to cloud infrastructure for more scalability and adaptability
