What's inside the playbook

The 6 levers of a Net-Zero OPEX SAP program.

Combining these six streams lets modernization effectively pay for itself.

Data archiving & low-storage strategy

30–50% storage cost reduction. Shrink SAP database footprint without losing records.

Infrastructure right-sizing

20–35% infrastructure savings. Cloud-native architectures replacing over-provisioned legacy SAP.

SAP licensing optimization

15–25% licensing savings. Rebase entitlements against actual usage at renewal.

Clean core architecture

40%+ custom code reduction. Lower maintenance cost, simpler upgrades.

Boomi integration simplification

Replace brittle point-to-point integrations with modern Boomi APIs. Fewer failures.

Accelerators & pre-built frameworks

Reusable migration accelerators, templates, methodology. Faster delivery, lower cost.

FAQ

Questions we get about Phase-0

An SI's discovery is designed to mobilize a program. Phase-0 is designed to decide whether the program should mobilize at all — and on what terms. We are not the integrator. That independence is the point.

WorldITCOE leads every Phase-0 engagement as the prime advisor. Regional advisory is led by Judith O'Callaghan (ANZ) and Sana Asher (NAM). Named advisors. One accountable thread.

Four to six weeks, depending on landscape complexity and stakeholder availability. We do not stretch the timeline to expand the engagement.

That is a successful outcome. The output is a defensible position — go, re-scope, or delay — backed by evidence the board will accept. We have no incentive to push you into a program that shouldn't run.

Phase-0 is a fixed-scope, fixed-duration advisory engagement priced as a fraction of the program it shapes. The most common CFO question after Phase-0 is "why didn't we do this sooner?" — because the scope reductions and risk avoidance it surfaces typically pay for the engagement many times over.

Phase-0 is SAP-focused by design. If you have adjacent enterprise systems (Boomi, Signavio, Salesforce, ServiceNow) in scope, we cover them where they touch SAP.

The six cost levers in motion

Six OPEX levers. One SAP core. Cost-neutral modernization.

Each lever pulls run-cost out of a different SAP layer — storage, infrastructure, licensing, code, integration, delivery accelerators. Combined, they fund the transformation.
