Partner spotlight series: How Sogeti and Tricentis deliver business assurance for manufacturing SAP transformations

SAP will end maintenance for its legacy ERP systems by the end of 2027. For manufacturers running tightly integrated processes across finance, supply chain, production, and logistics, that’s a hard deadline on one of the most complex technology programs most of them will ever run.

When a transformation spans order-to-cash, procurement, manufacturing, warehouse management, and finance, a single missed integration can cascade into production disruptions that cost more than the program itself.

One advanced manufacturer in the automotive sector was already in that position.

A migration with no room for disruption

The organization’s objective was to migrate its S/4HANA solution from the HANA Enterprise Cloud to SAP on AWS and upgrade to the latest version. The program touched every major value stream, meaning a bad go-live could be catastrophic.

It was clear that the traditional, manual regression approaches the team had relied on weren’t up to the challenge. Test cases were out of date, there were coverage gaps throughout critical workflows, and limited access to certain interfacing systems made validating cross-system dependencies during UAT and release cycles even harder.

Closing the gaps and embedding go-live confidence

Sogeti, a global technology company specializing in AI, cloud, data, and quality engineering, implemented Tricentis Tosca as the core enterprise continuous testing and business assurance platform, leveraging its model-based automation capabilities to validate both individual SAP modules and complex end-to-end business processes.

The approach started with fixing the test coverage gaps across value streams as a foundational step. From there, the team embedded continuous testing directly into the SAP program – building end-to-end automation coverage using Tosca’s model-based, reusable test assets, complemented by automated test data creation to validate multiple business scenarios efficiently.

A risk-based testing strategy kept the focus on critical business flows while accelerating execution across successive test cycles.

The results were measurable:

• Test execution time was reduced by approximately 30% per cycle.
• Full automation coverage of critical end-to-end SAP processes.
• Materially faster test cycles with improved defect detection earlier in the lifecycle.
• Greater predictability, risk reduction, and confidence in change during a high-impact SAP transformation.

Four principles that made for a successful migration

This engagement reinforced four lessons that apply beyond a single SAP migration.

Business assurance must be established early. Programs of this scale require quality embedded from the outset. A model-based, risk-focused approach early in the lifecycle enabled faster stabilization, greater transparency into business risk, and stronger confidence during critical release decisions.

End-to-end visibility matters more than isolated automation. The greatest value came from focusing on complete business processes rather than individual transactions or modules. Tricentis Tosca’s ability to support end-to-end SAP process validation combined with Sogeti’s Business Assurance expertise allowed teams to identify integration risks earlier and avoid downstream disruptions that fragmented testing misses.

Risk-based testing is essential for speed at scale. Not all change carries equal business risk. By prioritizing testing based on impact and criticality, the program reduced execution time while increasing confidence, demonstrating that speed and quality are not opposing goals when guided by intelligent test prioritization.

Tools alone do not deliver outcomes. Success came from combining Tricentis technology with Sogeti’s disciplined quality engineering practices, reusable assets, and strong collaboration across business, IT, and partner teams. That alignment turned continuous testing into a scalable capability rather than a one-time implementation.

A partnership built on joint value creation

The Sogeti–Tricentis partnership is grounded in a shared belief that quality is a critical business enabler. Tricentis brings AI-powered continuous testing and business assurance platforms. Sogeti brings global quality engineering expertise and industry context. Together, the partnership jointly addresses complex transformation challenges, particularly in ERP-led programs, enterprise platform modernization, and cloud transformations.

Joint initiatives include co-innovation around AI-driven and autonomous testing, and the SAP Business Assurance report that both organizations collaborate on to understand broader industry trends around quality engineering for ERP environments.

The maturity and impact of the partnership have also been recognized through multiple Tricentis Partner Awards, including:

• Global SAP Transformation Partner 2026
• AMS Quality Engineering Partner 2026
• EMEA Technology Partner of the Year 2026
• AMS Innovative Partner 2025
• Benelux Partner of the Year 2025

“In an era where transformation success is measured less by number of tests executed and more by resilience, risk reduction and confidence in change, Quality is taking a more central role driving Transformation. Sogeti’s partnership with Tricentis combines industry-leading Quality Engineering expertise with an innovative AI-powered business assurance platform, to help enterprises de-risk their most critical SAP and business transformation programs. Together, we’re enabling organizations to move beyond testing and achieve intelligent business assurance at scale.”

From testing to business assurance

AI-driven quality is becoming standard, with organizations scaling intelligent testing models that manage risk proactively. Quality is now measured by resilience, customer experience, and confidence in change rather than test execution volume. Continuous, end-to-end quality is replacing phase-based testing, combining shift-left practices with growing emphasis on shift-right insights and production feedback loops.

Sogeti is investing heavily in AI-led quality engineering, workforce upskilling, and asset-led delivery models. Tricentis is a critical partner in this journey, providing the innovation foundation that enables intelligent risk management, autonomous testing, and scalable quality platforms.

Looking ahead, the partnership will continue to focus on helping organizations evolve from testing execution to quality-led business assurance at scale.
