Quickly Integrate Business Units with SAP Cloud ERP

Whether it’s a carve-out, an acquisition, or a new subsidiary, SAP Cloud ERP in the public cloud provides a modern, standardized foundation for quickly and efficiently establishing or integrating new business units. Where individual requirements, existing structures, or greater process complexity call for it, SAP Cloud ERP in the private cloud may be the right solution. Depending on your specific situation, we’ll support you in selecting and implementing the right solution—including a potential two-tier strategy for integration with an existing SAP landscape.

Carve-out

Are you spinning off a company or a division and need a standalone ERP solution? We’ll help you clearly separate processes and structures and quickly set up the spun-off unit using SAP Cloud ERP . In doing so, we take into account the requirements of the corporate group, the company, and the transaction.

Carve-in & 2-Tier Integration

Have you acquired a company, or would you like to integrate a subsidiary into your existing SAP landscape? With SAP 2-Tier ERP, the new entity receives a standardized cloud ERP solution, while headquarters continues to operate its existing SAP landscape. This allows you to align local requirements with central standards and transparency.

New Subsidiaries & Branches

New companies or branches need to become productive quickly—for example, following an acquisition, during an expansion, or when moving to a new location. With SAP GROW and the Smart Start 2-Tier Edition, we implement SAP Cloud ERP in a standardized manner and create a scalable ERP foundation for new business units.

Rapid ERP Implementation

Speed is especially important in M&A and carve-outs. The standardized SAP GROW Fast method reduces complexity and provides a clear path to go-live. This allows SAP Cloud ERP to be quickly implemented in the public cloud without having to launch a lengthy, large-scale ERP project.

Integration & Harmonization

A successful business integration does not end with the go-live. We support you in aligning processes, master data, interfaces, and reporting between the subsidiary and headquarters. Our public cloud strategy ensures a standardized approach and a Clean Core-oriented ERP landscape.

Change & Transformation

New structures, processes, and systems also change the way your organization operates. Together with our experts, we support your employees during the implementation of SAP Cloud ERP and lay the groundwork for sustainable integration and adoption.

SAP Business Transactions with All for One

Based on your requirements, we advise you on all aspects of "restructuring," "mergers and acquisitions," and "carve-outs" and their impact on your SAP system landscapes, and we implement these solutions for you:

Carve-out

You have sold parts of your business (entire companies or portions thereof) and would like to separate them from your existing SAP system landscape and transfer them to the buyer. We use specialized tools to ensure the audit-compliant separation of your data, whether entire company codes (shared deal) or individual components (asset deal) are involved.

Carve-in

You have acquired business units (entire companies or parts thereof) and would like to integrate them into your existing SAP system landscape (rollout or two-tier approach). We handle the seamless integration and harmonization of processes and migrate all necessary master and transaction data to ensure stable business operations.

Internal Reorganization

Internal reorganizations—whether through restructuring or centralization—often require far-reaching adjustments to the SAP system. We handle the implementation of your split, consolidation, or harmonization to standardize processes and eliminate redundant structures.

Parking Service

During a carve-in, time constraints may create a situation where the seller’s spun-off system must continue to operate until it can be integrated into your SAP system landscape. We’ll handle the hosting, operation, and support of the spun-off system for you.

SAP Licenses & Subscriptions

The implications for your licenses following a corporate transaction can be complex. We conduct license reviews and evaluate all options so that you can make an informed decision.

Organizational Change Management

SAP restructuring projects typically take place as part of larger organizational changes, such as centralization or process harmonization. Our management and change consulting subsidiary Allfoye will support you throughout the process.

Carve-in

You have acquired business units (entire companies or parts thereof) and would like to integrate them into your existing SAP system landscape (rollout or two-tier approach). We handle seamless process integration and harmonization and migrate all necessary master and transaction data to ensure stable business operations.

Carve-out Scenarios

Companies that divest business units must cleanly separate them from the SAP system—for example, by taking data migration and process reliability into account. A strategic approach is crucial for implementing carve-outs efficiently and with minimal risk.

Carve-out (Share Deal)

In a so-called "share deal," parts of the company are completely removed from the SAP system after they are sold.

Details:

Entire company codes, along with their assets, are extracted.
The entire history is also transferred.
Both parts must be fully functional afterward.
The deadline is not a determining factor.

Project Duration

about 3 months

Carve-out (Asset Deal)

The so-called "asset deal" is typically a two-step process in which a new company code is created first, followed by a separate system.

Details:

At least one new company code is created.
Plants can be moved in their entirety if necessary.
If a complete transfer is not to take place, selection criteria must be defined for each object.
The history is not transferred in full by default. Therefore, the handling of the history must be clarified.
The deadline is critical.

Project Duration

about 6–9 months

Carve-in Scenarios

Companies that grow through M&A must integrate new entities into their IT landscape from both a technical and a business perspective. Success depends largely on a clearly structured process that effectively combines both perspectives and makes complexity manageable.

Carve-in (Roll-out)

In a carve-in, acquired business units are integrated into the buyer’s existing ERP system landscape, creating a unified system. The data is extracted either directly from the seller’s system or from a parking system created as a result of a prior carve-out.

Details:

The challenge lies in ensuring that business operations are not disrupted despite the integration.
A clear strategy for data migration, interface adaptation, and process harmonization is required.
A carve-in can vary greatly in complexity, as reflected in the following two basic approaches and their respective variations:
Simple Carve-In: The structure of the acquired company is placed alongside the existing organization without any changes (
).
Complex carve-in: The buyer’s SAP system is rolled out to the acquired business unit. This ensures that the structure and processes of the acquired company are fully aligned with those of the target company.

Project Duration

about 6–12 months

Carve-in (2-tier)

Under the "2-tier" approach, newly acquired business units are managed as subsidiaries. This means they are provided with a decentralized system connected to the acquirer's central SAP system.

Details:

This scenario is implemented in a Greenfield approach within an SAP Public Cloud system.
Data is extracted either directly from the seller’s system or from a parking system created through an upstream carve-out.
At the same time, the 2-tier approach enables seamless integration into the existing SAP landscape.
SAP Cloud ERP enables rapid implementation thanks to preconfigured solutions and best practices. This ensures that deadlines for time-sensitive business transactions can be met efficiently.

Internal Restructuring Scenarios

Internal reorganizations—whether through restructuring, centralization, or process harmonization—often require far-reaching adjustments to the SAP system. The goal is to establish standardized processes, simplify system landscapes, and eliminate redundant structures.

Split

A “split” involves the division of existing organizational units. This requires data sets to be neatly separated, processes to be redefined, and IT architectures to be adapted to ensure the smooth continuation of business operations.

A typical example is divisionalization, i.e., business units that were previously part of the same corporate group and SAP system are spun off as separate companies.

Project Duration

about 6 months

Consolidation

"Consolidation" involves merging individual organizational units within an SAP system. This reduces complexity, improves data consistency, and lowers IT costs.

An example of this type of restructuring is plant relocations.

Project Duration

>6 months

Merge

In a "merge," multiple accounting entities that are already on a single system are merged into a single company. The challenge here lies in aligning the various processes and data structures to avoid duplication and ensure smooth operations. For companies operating globally, in particular, it is therefore more beneficial to use the 2-tier approach. In this approach, the central SAP system is linked to decentralized solutions used by subsidiaries, which may, for example, reside in the public cloud.

An example of this approach is the integration of multiple subsidiaries into the group’s central SAP system.

Project Duration

>6 months

System Merge

In this approach, the SAP systems of multiple companies are consolidated into a single central system using the greenfield approach. A structured SAP integration therefore ensures smooth operations and supports the company’s strategic goals.

An example of this approach is a corporate merger and the subsequent implementation of a new system landscape.

Project Duration

>6 months
