Carve-outs are no longer rare exceptions - they’re strategic moves.
We help clients navigate this complex terrain, and we’ve seen three common questions arise time and again.
This is the million-euro question. Carve-outs are not just technical exercises - they’re business-critical transformations. The risk of downtime, data loss, or broken integrations can be significant if not handled with precision.
We leverage our deep SAP ERP expertise to design carve-out strategies that minimize disruption. Our teams ensure that both entities retain operational capabilities from Day 1, with tailored transition plans, phased cutovers, and robust testing cycles. We also manage dependencies across finance, logistics, HR, and analytics streams to avoid surprises.
SNP, our SAP transformation partner, helps ensure business continuity during carve-outs through a software-driven approach to data separation and migration. Using its Kyano platform and Bluefield™ methodology, SNP enables selective, automated extraction of only the required data.
The platform delivers clear insights into the system and data landscape, so dependencies and compliance needs are understood upfront. The result is a controlled, low-risk carve-out with minimal downtime and disruption.
With Near Zero Downtime (NZD) technology, operations continue while systems are transformed, supported by rollback and validation safeguards that deliver an extra layer of assurance when it matters most.
SAP landscapes are rarely isolated. They’re deeply integrated with third-party systems, custom ABAP code, and legacy interfaces. During a carve-out, these connections can become tangled or broken, or you would like to modernize to achieve a clean core for your carved out environment.
We conduct a full integration impact analysis and apply methods like AI to make sure the integrations keep on rocking. This ensures that only relevant integrations are migrated, and obsolete ones are retired. Our consultants also help redesign interfaces to fit the new architecture, whether on-prem or cloud. Our AI-assisted approach can speed up integration builds by a factor of three.
Our partners SNP and smartShift can make a real difference in modernization during carve-outs - whether it’s selective data migration or custom code renewal - accelerating the project and ensuring quality.
SNP’s Kyano platform and Bluefield™ methodology support selective modernisation through an “empty shell” approach. This approach creates a target system landscape designed to streamline the cleanup of custom code and the removal of legacy integrations. This enables organisations to modernize efficiently whilst preserving essential functionality. SNP’s collaboration with technology partners such as smartShift enhances this process with code usage analysis and automated remediation, accelerating modernization and ensuring overall quality.
Yes, and you should consider it. Carve-outs present a golden opportunity to modernize your infrastructure. But moving to SAP's Cloud ERP or hyperscaler based IaaS solutions such as SAP on Public Cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP) while separating systems adds complexity and needs to be addressed accordingly.
We can execute SAP carve-outs directly into cloud environments. Our cloud architects work alongside SAP consultants and partners to ensure compute, storage, and network services are provisioned securely and efficiently.
SNP enables organizations to modernise and move to the cloud in a single, seamless step through its selective data transition approach. Using its Kyano platform, SNP combines selective migration with Near Zero Downtime (NZD) execution to ensure minimal disruption while separating or transforming systems. This software-driven approach allows businesses to move exactly what they need securely, compliantly, and ready for the cloud, enabling modernisation and future-readiness from Day 1.
Our strategic partnership with SNP Group brings unmatched value and security to carve-out scenarios. SNP’s Bluefield™ methodology allows selective data migration with near-zero downtime, enabling:
Together we offer a powerful combination: business insight, technical precision, and software-led transformation. Whether you’re splitting a company code, relocating a plant, or harmonizing master data, we’ve got you covered.
Carve-outs are complex, but they don’t have to be chaotic. With the right strategy, tools, and partners, you can turn a separation into a springboard for innovation.
You can meet our team together with SNP and smartShift at SAP Finug Autumn seminar and join us for networking drinks and conversation during and after the event. See you there!
