Staff augmentation to support SAP S/4HANA transformation

Project overview and objectives

When a $3B oil and gas manufacturing company came to us, they had just undergone an acquisition—disrupting their operating model and leaving them with a shortage of Finance & Accounting (F&A) talent. While their immediate focus was updating their ERP to SAP S/4HANA, they recognized the need for supplemental hands to manage their business processes and upcoming projects.

What we did

We started by evaluating the specific F&A process knowledge needs of the organization and developed a staff augmentation plan with qualified resources at each level​. Then, we delivered hands-on support to address these areas:

• Executing day-to-day account activities to free up internal resources for SAP S/4HANA transformation
• Providing project management oversight and expertise to maintain governance
• Offering additional subject matter expertise to drive best practices in the new ERP design​

Impact

With additional help, the organization had more time to focus on change management and ERP transformation. We matched five highly qualified F&A resources to roles, augmenting their staff but keeping the business running as usual. And their long-term goals and high-priority projects? On track.
