SAP carve-out services for clean divestiture separations
Divestitures need SAP systems that reflect the new organization on Day 1. We support the full carve-out lifecycle.
- Systems
- SAP ECC, S/4HANA, BW, CRM, SRM
- Tools
- SDIT, SLS, SAP DMLT
The problem
A carve-out is a technical separation, not just a business decision
Divestiture is the sale or separation of a business unit, and the supporting IT systems must reflect that change. A carve-out is the technical process of isolating and migrating data, such as company codes, out of SAP ECC or S/4HANA.
SAP's System Landscape Optimization (SLO) methodology and SAP DMLT tooling, together with SLS, extract, transform, and separate systems with minimal disruption. Carve-outs can be company-code-based, full-instance, or process-driven, often requiring data harmonization and system conversion.
- Transition service agreement (TSA) setup and exit readiness
- Company code carve-outs and deletions
- Plant reallocations and plant splits
- Data separation across financial, supply chain, and customer domains
