Investment & Return Summary
Methodology: Value ranges are calibrated from Sierra Digital's benchmark database of 200+ SAP S/4HANA transformations, scaled to configured revenue using a sqrt-dampened model. SLB figures are grounded by live system inventory: 94 custom ABAP objects, 29 assessed business processes (avg 40% SAP-standard compliance), 14 integrated systems with 60 active interfaces, and 12 identified AI use cases. Cost Savings = confirmed contractable reductions. Cost Avoidance = risk mitigation & future prevention. New Capability = value enabled by S/4HANA + BTP not achievable in ECC.
