Is SPAR only a technical assessment?

No. SPAR combines technical evidence with process, data, architecture, and business-strategy evaluation.

Who is SPAR best suited for?

It is especially valuable for organizations still on SAP ECC or those needing a structured recommendation before modernization.

What tools are typically used in SPAR?

Common tools include SAP Readiness Check, SAP Signavio Process Insights, and S/4HANA assessment frameworks, depending on scope.

What do we receive at the end?

The core output is a decision support package covering gap-impact analysis, target architecture, TCO considerations, risks, and a roadmap.

Is a prototype always required?

No. Prototype validation is optional and is usually used when major architecture or cloud choices need additional confidence.
