When a system carve-out is imminent

The carve-out of parts of an existing SAP system landscape is one of the most complex undertakings in enterprise IT. A carve-out affects not only systems but also processes, data, and the entire organization, and it often needs to be executed under tight time constraints.

Typical triggers include:

Divestiture of subsidiaries
Spin-off of individual business units
Internal restructuring
Joint ventures
Adjustments in the context of post-merger integrations
Regulatory requirements

Your challenges

For a carve-out to succeed, companies must keep the critical questions in focus from the very beginning:
How can the project be successfully executed despite limited time and scarce resources?
How can the implementation be achieved with minimal risk and predictable costs?
What does the future target state look like, and which data, processes, and systems are affected?
How can complex dependencies between data and processes be managed efficiently?
How can business continuity be ensured before, during, and after the project?
How is compliance and adherence to regulatory requirements ensured?

Selective data transformation for successful spin-offs

cbs helps companies execute carve-outs safely, quickly, and in compliance. With our Selective Data Transformation (SDT) approach, organizational units or business areas can be precisely and controllably separated—regardless of whether it involves an ECC or S/4HANA system.

Analysis & Preparation
It all begins with a thorough analysis, supported by the cbs EA Enterprise Analyzer: defining scope and objectives, identifying dependencies between processes and data, and aligning with all relevant stakeholders. Based on this, a robust roadmap for your carve-out or system split is created.
Data Strategy

In the next step, we work with you to develop a clear data strategy: defining selection criteria for legally, operationally, and business-relevant data, ensuring consistency and compliance, and planning freeze periods and cutovers to minimize downtime.

Design & Build

Next, we design the solution in detail: defining and structuring the carve-out scope, developing transformation scenarios, and preparing for technical implementation. This is supported by the comprehensive cbs Transformation Platform.

Transition & Implementation

The actual transformation is carried out in a minimally invasive manner following the SDT approach. We rely on proven execution options such as Copy & Migrate, Clone & Delete, or System Copy. A fallback scenario is always planned to ensure maximum safety.
