SAP Carve-In / Carve-Out and M&A Enablement

Precision-led ERP separation and integration for divestitures, acquisitions, mergers and legal entity reorganizations.

Your Business Is Evolving

Business changes – whether through M&A activity, acquisition, divestiture, or restructuring – directly impact your SAP landscape. Getting it right is critical for both entities.
 
The complexity of these projects demands experienced guidance. D4M’s experts bring hands-on experience with the SAP System Landscape Optimization (SLO) and SAP System Landscape Transformation (SLT) tools, helping you manage transitions with confidence, precision, and effective change management to support your teams throughout the process.

Safeguard Business Continuity During the Transition

Mergers, carve-ins, carve-outs, and SAP M&A projects involve intricate system transformations. Without the right expertise, companies risk operational disruption, compliance exposure, and data inconsistencies.

At D4M, our approach reduces transition risks and timelines while safeguarding business continuity. We also guide organizations through the change management journey, ensuring your workforce is aligned, trained, and ready to adopt new processes. 

Key Considerations we address include: 

  • Harmonization of accounts
  • Quality and consistency of operational data
  • Standardization of customizing settings
  • Reduction of redundant components and modules
  • Legal entity reorganizations such as restructuring company codes for P&L reporting or fiscal requirements
