But why do companies struggle so much with data migration? The answer is that work on data migration usually starts far too late. Many companies tend to put off the issue of data migration again and again, focusing instead on other topics such as business cases, vendor selection, process design, etc. The data often comes later. Why? One reason is probably that companies don't know what data they have and are also concerned about what they might find. They don't know where to start. But this creates unnecessary risks.
What exactly does Pioneer do?
That was the reason why Xmateria developed Pioneer: to help customers understand their SAP data before they start their SAP S/4HANA or ECC data migration. Pioneer analyzes all the data in an SAP system and creates an inventory of a customer's business information, broken down by company, data objects, and time periods. The tool shows which data is in use and which has not been touched for years. It creates a precise view of the data volume. It also shows the condition of the data. Customers can quickly see which data needs to be cleaned up and which can be left behind. In addition, the tool highlights obstacles that should be taken into account in the project plan. All this is done in a simple and user-friendly way. The customer can benefit from the software from day one.
Avoid delays with the right preparatory work
All of this helps our customers make more informed decisions, including the most important one: choosing the right migration approach. Furthermore, some of the biggest sources of risk, cost, and disruption in an SAP project are eliminated. By bringing forward and automating data discovery, SAP changes are faster, more predictable, less risky, and significantly less disruptive.
How Pioneer stands out from other products
Pioneer differs significantly from other discovery products on the market. The software is integrated into SAP and can therefore access your data directly. This allows you to create your own analysis rules and deliver the library with hundreds of data objects that are already included in the software package. The tool ensures maximum transparency, as the database can be searched at the record level. This means that a scan enables a complete company data inventory within a few hours of installation. Above all, it means there are no hidden corners in your SAP system: Pioneer analyzes all your SAP data, including user-defined namespaces, industry solutions, and Z/Y tables. That's why so many global leaders, including INEOS, Moog, Harrods, and Eastman, have chosen Pioneer to drive their strategic SAP transformation projects.
