Aspen Pharmacare is on an ambitious journey to revolutionize its digital backbone with S4HANA. Far more than a system upgrade, this ~10-year transformation aligns with Aspen’s shift from a federated model to a strategically controlled environment, ensuring flexibility, innovation, and scalability to meet our growing business needs.

This roadmap isn’t about replicating legacy ERP systems—it’s a strategic imperative designed to enhance agility and streamline processes while consolidating where it makes sense. Our approach integrates industry best practices and carefully balances standardization with practical business needs. Notably, we’ve chosen not to adopt the RISE model at this stage, charting our own path to ensure alignment with long-term strategic goals.

In this presentation, we’ll unveil how we developed our S4HANA roadmap, the business value it delivers, and the strategic decisions that shaped its foundation. We’ll also share key lessons learned so far, from crafting a robust strategy to implementing continuous improvement roadmaps post-deployment. Attendees will gain insight into how tools like Signavio are driving ongoing optimization, helping us identify opportunities for growth and improvement.

Join us to explore Aspen’s transformative journey and discover actionable strategies for navigating large-scale digital transformation in a rapidly evolving business landscape. Whether you’re starting your own ERP journey or seeking inspiration for continuous improvement, this session offers valuable takeaways for driving success.
