Overview

Licensing, project, infrastructure, and evolution with one partner.

Implementing SAP goes beyond configuring a system. You need to choose the right solution and edition, size licenses, design processes, migrate data from legacy systems, integrate the landscape, and prepare people to use the new system from day one.

Grupo Intelsis runs the entire project with the SAP Activate methodology: fit-to-standard workshops, delivery in short iterations validated by business teams, integration testing, and a go-live closely supported by specialists.

As an SAP Gold Partner, we bring licensing, consulting, infrastructure, and support together under one partner. After go-live, hypercare stabilizes operations and AMS keeps the solution evolving over the years.

Highlights

  • SAP licensing and solution architecture
  • Fit-to-standard workshops with SAP Activate
  • Data migration and legacy integrations
  • Testing, training, and change management
  • Supported go-live, hypercare, and AMS

Why Grupo Intelsis

One partner for the entire SAP lifecycle.

  • SAP Gold Partner

    Consulting, licensing, support, and SAP solutions from the same partner, from choosing licenses to day-to-day operations.

  • Business before configuration

    Fit-to-standard workshops show the standard process in action and make clear what to adopt, adapt, or extend, based on value.

Scope

Everything an SAP project needs to succeed.

We build the team and workstreams around the solution, the edition, and the number of companies and countries involved.

  • SAP licensing

    Sizing of users, modules, and edition, with the commercial proposal aligned to the scope before signing.

  • Solution architecture

    Design of applications, integrations, environments, and security, aligned with SAP's roadmap and clean core principles.

  • Process design

    Fit-to-standard workshops by business area to adopt SAP best practices and log only the gaps that create value.

  • Configuration and extensions

    System configuration and extensions on SAP BTP, with version control, documentation, and code review.

  • Data migration

    Extraction, cleansing, loading, and reconciliation of master data and balances from legacy systems, SAP or non-SAP.

  • Integrations

    Interfaces with banks, tax systems, partners, and non-SAP platforms through SAP Integration Suite, with monitoring.

  • Testing and adoption

    Integration and user acceptance testing, role-based training, and change management so teams reach go-live ready.

  • Infrastructure and lifecycle

    Environments on RISE with SAP, a hyperscaler, or on-premise, with Basis and SAP Cloud ALM to document, test, and operate.

Methodology

SAP Activate in six phases, with visible deliverables in each one.

SAP's methodology combines ready-to-use best practices, fit-to-standard workshops, and agile build cycles.

  1. Discover

    Value and scope

    Goals, preliminary scope, solution, edition, and licenses, with a business case that guides decisions.

  2. Prepare

    Project setup

    Plan, team, governance, initial environments, and success criteria agreed with the business.

  3. Explore

    Fit-to-standard

    Workshops on the standard system, a prioritized gap backlog, and the design of integrations and data.

  4. Realize

    Build and test

    Configuration and development in sprints, data loads in cycles, and integration testing.

  5. Deploy

    Switch to production

    Final training, cutover rehearsal, data load, and a go-live supported by specialists.

  6. Run

    Operations and continuous improvement

    Hypercare, transition to AMS, and continuous evolution with what each SAP release brings.

Go-live readiness

What must be ready before you switch on the new SAP.

We use objective readiness criteria, reviewed with business teams, to decide the go-live date.

People and adoption

  • Key users trained and change champions active
  • Access roles tested by job function
  • Cutover communication sent to every area
  • Hypercare support channel in place

Processes and data

  • End-to-end scenarios approved by business teams
  • Master data and balances loaded and reconciled
  • Reports and tax obligations validated
  • Closing routines documented

Technology and operations

  • Integrations tested with real volumes
  • Production environment, backups, and access ready
  • Cutover rehearsed and fallback plan defined
  • Monitoring and AMS ready to take over

  3. Agile delivery in short iterations

    Sprints with frequent demos and validation by business teams, following the SAP Activate methodology.

    On-site support at the switchover, hypercare to stabilize and drive adoption, and AMS to evolve the solution over the long term.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about SAP implementation

Implementation or migration: which one is my case?

If your company does not use SAP yet, or wants to redesign processes from scratch, it is an implementation. If you already run SAP ECC, our Migration to SAP S/4HANA service weighs a new implementation (greenfield) against a conversion of the current system (brownfield). Either way, the starting point is the same free diagnostic session.

What is the SAP Activate methodology?

It is SAP's methodology for implementation projects, organized into the Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realize, Deploy, and Run phases. It combines preconfigured best practices, fit-to-standard workshops, and agile delivery, which reduces unnecessary customization and makes the project more predictable.

Do you handle SAP licensing?

Yes. As an SAP Gold Partner, Grupo Intelsis can provide SAP consulting, support, licensing, and solutions. We help size users, modules, and edition according to the project scope, so you avoid paying for unused licenses or running short after go-live.

How long does an SAP implementation take?

It depends on the solution, edition, number of companies and countries, integrations, and the quality of legacy data. Cloud solutions that adopt standard processes tend to have shorter cycles. The timeline comes out of the scope co-design, with agreed phases, milestones, and acceptance criteria.

Who provides support after go-live?

The project team itself runs hypercare and handles the transition to AMS, with ticket management, enhancements, and updates. As an SAP Partner Center of Expertise, we also give indirect SAP customers access to SAP support for product incidents.
