Methodology

Based on our experience of delivering SAP upgrades and ERP projects coupled with our insight into the risks and challenges that organisations face during upgrades, we have created a proven approach and methodology that offers organisations a flexible and reliable approach to delivering a successful SAP upgrade in a time efficient and cost effective manner. 

Diagonal places great emphasis on reducing business risk (such as system downtime) to ensure any specific upgrade complexity is discovered early in the project lifecycle via a Proof of Concept.

The Proof of Concept can also be used to:

  • Confirm business requirements
  • Identify key impact areas such as customisation, technical landscape and business downtime constraints
  • Confirm estimates and approach activities
  • Consider the longer-term implications and requirements of the upgrade
