We are excited to introduce a brand-new chapter in the SAP EarlyWatch Alert (EWA) Report for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition systems: “Onboarding Progress.” This new addition offers enhanced visibility into the onboarding journey of customers, helping project teams and stakeholders track their implementation progress against key milestones – right from initial system provisioning to full production usage.
Why a New Chapter?
The onboarding process in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition follows a structured methodology, yet customers often need more proactive and transparent tracking across the various phases. With the Onboarding Progress chapter in the EWA report, customers now have a standardized, data-driven view of where they are in their journey and actionable guidance on what steps to take next.
Six Milestones on the Journey to Go-Live
The chapter highlights six essential onboarding milestones and evaluates customer progress using real usage data from the systems:
System Setup – Test system was deployed
The journey begins with the provisioning of the test tenant. This signals the start of onboarding activities.
Access Test System – First logins of business users in the test system
Once users start interacting with the system, configuration and exploration can begin.
Start Data Load – First data migration into the test system
Initial data loads indicate that migration planning and execution are underway.
Access Prod System – First logins of business users in the production system
This marks the start of cut-over preparations and familiarization with the live environment.
Start Cut-Over – First data migration into the production system
Data is now being finalized and validated for go-live.
System Go-Live – Business users are using the production system intensely
A major milestone confirming that business operations are running in the live environment.
Actionable Insights & Recommendations
Each milestone is not just a checkpoint – it’s a launchpad for action. The report provides practical recommendations tailored to your system’s current status. Whether it’s attending webinars, setting up initial user roles, beginning test cycles, planning cut-over, or initiating hypercare, the chapter offers next steps to help accelerate onboarding and stay aligned with best practices.
