In this blog-post you will familiarize yourself with the SAP Transformation Navigator (STN) and find a list of easy to consume tutorials to learn more about the tool in a fun way.
Let us kick it off simply – what is the SAP Transformation Navigator?
We know the hurdle of digital transformation processes for our customers’ businesses. Path to get there? The value of innovation? Integration options? Which solution to use in which use case? Our customers need clear guidance and support throughout the entire process.
Why SAP Transformation Navigator?
SAP Transformation Navigator provides our customers with individualized guidance and clear product recommendations on their journey to the Intelligent Enterprise. It does so by considering your existing product landscape, business needs and overall industry trends.
And here are 6 reasons why you should use it in your next business transformation decision:
SAP Transformation Navigator analyzes your current system landscape and tailors your transformation process according to your personal needs.
To pre-fill your product map with your landscape data, we recommend choosing “Quick start”. Alternatively, you can add products from the SAP product portfolio manually.
In case you are already using the current product, the tool will not provide any transition recommendation. If this is not the case, the STN (SAP Transformation Navigator) recommends you transition to a successor product based on your current landscape.
By generating a product map of recommended SAP products and solutions, the tool advises you how and when to best implement your digital transformation.
For an example, have a look at this blog post: https://blogs.sap.com/2017/05/16/my-first-experience-with-the-sap-transformation-navigator/
Besides the set of recommendations which the tool offers based on your product landscape, you can also use STN to explore new solutions and capabilities and add additional product recommendations to stay agile and evolve your business.
For that end, SAP Transformation Navigator also allows you to get a value assessment overview.
Transformation recommendations come with value drivers which you can use for your business case calculations. These specific KPIs bring considerable clarity to your decision-making processes.
You can work on multiple transition projects simultaneously on SAP Transformation Navigator. As a result, the tool allows you to set your priority for each transition project depending on importance, assumed effort and project size.
Now that you have prioritized your transition projects, we hear you saying that you want to slice and dice into the important aspects of your project. That is why SAP Transformation Navigator offers you the option to download transformation guides!
