SAP CARVE-OUTS · ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURE

One partner accountable for the whole SAP separation

A divestiture creates a new legal entity that needs its own systems, its own licences and its own support, usually against a transition services agreement that is already counting down. oXya sizes that separation early, governs it end to end, and runs the new environment once it goes live.

THE TRIGGER

The deal closes on paper long before it closes in the systems

The moment a business unit is sold, its data has to leave a shared SAP landscape and stand up on its own. That work is rarely on the critical path when the deal is priced. It always is by the time the TSA clock starts.

The main challenges

  • The new entity starts with no systems, no licences and no incumbent provider.
  • TSA overruns carry financial penalties and hand the seller's IT organization a problem it no longer wants.
  • Cutover windows are measured in a single weekend.
  • Handing over an unpurged copy of the seller's system is a data privacy exposure, not a shortcut.

WHAT OXYA DOES

One partner accountable for the whole separation

A carve-out is never a single discipline. It takes data extraction, functional work, licensing and infrastructure, usually from different specialists. oXya assembles that group and answers for it, so the new entity signs one contract and holds one party accountable.

The 4 oXya Responsibilities

Early technical assessment

We map the SAP landscape and size the real scope of the separation while the TSA deadlines are still negotiable. Scope discovered later is a schedule problem, and usually a cost one.

A single point of accountability

We select and govern the partners involved in the separation: extraction tooling, functional work and licensing. You deal with oXya; we coordinate the rest.

Licensing for the new entity

We build the SAP bill of materials for the standalone company directly with SAP, so day one is covered contractually as well as technically.

The day after go-live

We host and manage the new landscape as a long-term managed service. The separation project ends; the operating model it leaves behind does not.

TWO VIEWS OF THE SAME PROBLEM

In a divestiture, the SAP separation plan is priced in the deal

Why the technical separation shapes the TSA, the schedule and the cost of the transaction, and what to settle before the deadlines are fixed.

Data separation: how SAP carve-out slicing really works

What actually get sliced out of a shared SAP S/4HANA system, where the company code selector stops working, and how every table gets its ruling.

The assessment is a short, scoped engagement. It gives both sides of a transaction a defensible view of the separation before commitments are locked in.

  • Enterprise structure map
    Which organizational elements are exclusive to the entity being sold, and which are shared.
  • Scope and effort
    Data volumes, the tables that need a ruling, and what that means for the timeline.
  • Target and licensing view
    What the new entity needs to run on day one, on premises or in the cloud.
