Before you commit to the go-live date, get an answer nobody delivering the build can give you.
Tequma provides independent assurance before S/4HANA and Salesforce go-lives - reviewing readiness, cutover risk and field-operations adoption without any stake in the delivery team's own verdict. The review covers data, integration, testing, cutover and business readiness, and ends in one of three clear verdicts: go, conditional go, or no-go. It starts with the fixed-fee, ten-working-day Executive Transformation Triage.
Who this is for
CIOs, CFOs, COOs and programme sponsors at industrial and service companies running an S/4HANA transformation, a Salesforce or ServiceMax rollout, or both at once - where the board is about to commit to a go-live date and wants an answer from someone with nothing to defend.
Signals it's time to call
- Testing status is reported as "on track" without a defect count the board can see directly
- The go/no-go date has not moved despite scope or resourcing changes
- Nobody outside the delivery team has reviewed cutover and data-migration readiness
- Salesforce or ServiceMax adoption is assumed rather than measured going into go-live
- The steering committee is told the programme is ready by the same people who built it
Recognise more than a couple of these? The full 20-question board checklist is the same review, written down.
How the first four weeks look
Week 1 - scope and first read
A short call to confirm scope and timing, then structured interviews with programme leadership, sponsors and delivery teams - the same structure as the Executive Transformation Triage, Tequma's fixed-fee entry point for exactly this question.
Weeks 2-3 - the six-area review
Independent review across cutover and rollback, data migration quality, integration and clean-core readiness, testing coverage, business readiness and the governance that decides go/no-go.
Week 4 - the board-ready answer
One of three verdicts, with the evidence behind it: go, conditional go with named actions and owners, or no-go with a credible path back to yes.
What the board gets
A clear decision framework, no hedging:
- ✓Go - confidence that critical risks are understood and controlled.
- ✓Conditional go - with named actions, owners and deadlines.
- ✓No-go - with a credible path back to yes.
What this covers
Two things a go-live decision actually depends on, reviewed together because they usually go live on the same date.
SAP S/4HANA readiness
- S/4HANA readiness and risk reviews
- Clean-core and template challenge
- Test, data-migration and cutover assurance, with clear go/no-go criteria
- Programme governance and steering-committee support
Salesforce, ServiceMax and field-operations adoption
- Salesforce-SAP integration diagnostics
- Field-service and ServiceMax operating-model support
- B2B commerce and customer-portal rollout control
- Adoption recovery, release governance and hypercare
- Customer and partner portal (Experience Cloud) governance and go-live readiness
- SaaS security, access and compliance oversight across the platform
If the go-live date itself is the only open question, the readiness review is the dedicated answer to that: six areas, cutover and rollback, data migration quality, integration and clean-core readiness, testing coverage, business readiness, and the governance that decides go/no-go.
