Data Maturity Assessment and Consulting
Current-state assessment, DAMA-based data strategy, and a design blueprint that grounded a Dynamics AX 2012 to SAP transformation program for a leading manufacturer.
Business Context
A leading bed manufacturer set out on a comprehensive digital transformation to modernise its application landscape and align operations with industry best practices, executed as a Brownfield implementation across three structured plateaus for minimal business disruption.
Before any migration, the organisation needed a clear, objective view of its current data estate. Nextgenlytics led a Data Management & Analytics consulting engagement, interviewing stakeholders, running workshops, and defining a DAMA-based future data strategy that would underpin the move from Dynamics AX 2012 to SAP S/4HANA.
Key Impact
- Data Management & Analytics advisory across the enterprise
- Current-landscape assessment and problem-statement identification
- DAMA-based future data strategy and technology definition
- Fit-gap analysis, design and blueprint phase sign-off
Challenges
No objective, current-state view of the data estate existed before planning the migration.
Aligning 32 stakeholders and business teams across the enterprise on a single data strategy.
Defining a future-state data strategy and technology direction grounded in a recognised framework.
Producing a fit-gap analysis and design blueprint the migration team could execute against.
