Lift & Shift SAP ERP Payroll to Cloud

As result of the Due Diligence, NGA together with the customer will choose the migration
approach and plan the required actions. This will take into considerations the complexities of the
as-is and to be landscape transformation and interfaces requirements.
• Design:
NGA will design standard target platform including system specific requirements.
• Build:
NGA will build the Cloud based dedicated system landscape based in the copy of the existing on
promise systems. NGA will implement during this phase all the changes in the systems and
applications that were identified during the design phase.
• Verify and Deploy:
NGA together with the customer will go through testing scenarios to verify that the migrated
systems fulfill the requirements and can operate according to the expectations.

As final step during the cutover process, the new Production system goes live and the Onpremise
system is switched off.

The Lift & Shift is the transition process in which the SAP ERP PY system is migrated from the OnPremise
to the NGA Cloud.
NGA will build the customer dedicated SAP ERP landscape (Dev, Test and Prod) based in a copy of the
existing SAP ERP systems using SAP standard and supported copy procedures.
The right system copy method is chosen in case by case basis. NGA can optionally combine the
migration with database upgrades when required.

Lift & Shift SAP ERP Payroll to Cloud
NGA migration approach has the aim to make the process transparent and seamless to the customer.
However NGA will require obviously collaboration from the customer technical teams in some of the steps
of the process.

SuccessFactors EC Core HR
• The Cloudify standard process includes Employee Central Rapid Deployment
Solution, which deploys an EC basic template in a very short time, 12 weeks, with an
accelerated methodology.
• NGA proposes this approach as a basic, normally sufficient first step into
SuccessFactors EC setup, obviously in a complex scenario, with long term planning,
non-standard integration, or multiple modules, a longer project approach should be
evaluated, offering the full benefits of traditional implementations. NGA can cover as
well any highly complex SuccessFactors implementations.
• SuccessFactors Employee Central usage requires a license from SAP.
Whether customer has already a license or not, NGA has preferred sales agreements
for SuccessFactors under SAP partner license sales strategy.
• NGA SuccessFactors Application Management Services do not change based on
SAP Support underneath. NGA Successfactors Admins take responsibility of dealing
with SAP support within the service scope.

SuccessFactors - EC Rapid Deployment Solution
• The Employee Central Rapid Deployment Solution has a fixed scope and serves as a
fast, and in most cases, cost effective implementation, alternative for many customers in
contrast to our traditional custom implementations (based on SAP Launch
Methodology).
