Inside TTC Global India: the Strategic Engine Behind Global SAP S/4HANA Migrations

SAP S/4HANA migrations are among the most demanding technology undertakings any enterprise can face. For large organisations, they are business transformations that touch every process and function. Executing them successfully requires deep domain knowledge, scalable delivery models and the ability to drive quality at every stage.

At TTC Global, one of the most powerful enablers of this capability is our India-based centre of excellence. With around 25% of our global staff and growing, this team is more than a nearshore delivery unit — it is a strategic engine that powers success for some of the world’s most complex and high-profile SAP transformation programmes.

Deep expertise at scale for SAP testing

What makes our India operation stand out is its unique blend of technical certification and business acumen. The majority of our India team is certified in Tricentis tools and a significant proportion brings vast SAP subject-matter expertise. This includes SAP test automation, migration assurance, regression planning and functional validation. These are all critical capabilities when dealing with multi-year, multi-stakeholder transformation programmes.

This team has also supported projects for global leaders and Fortune 500 firms. That means our India consultants aren’t just SAP experts. They’re also experts in delivering SAP within highly regulated, fast-moving and complex enterprise environments.

Institutional knowledge, shared across clients

Our India team works in a collaborative, open-office environment; ideal for knowledge sharing among the teams. While every assignment adheres strictly to confidentiality requirements, our teams retain and transfer generalized SAP insights and Tricentis automation best practices from one project to another.

This accumulated institutional knowledge becomes a differentiator for our clients. When you’re moving to S/4HANA under tight deadlines and competing priorities, it helps to have a team that has ‘seen it all before’. Not once, but dozens of times, across multiple industries and geographies.

Moreover, the team gains valuable industry-specific knowledge, from one project to the next. If they support two energy-sector clients back-to-back, for instance, the nuances of compliance, integration and performance expectations in that sector are already understood and accounted for.

Accelerators and best practices that deliver value fast in SAP migrations

Speed and quality aren’t trade-offs; not when you’ve built the right foundation. Over time, TTC Global has developed an extensive library of reusable automated test cases and best practices specifically designed for SAP transformation programmes. Our India team works with this SAP accelerator pack to jumpstart client implementations, saving time while improving test coverage.

But the value doesn’t stop at the accelerators themselves. TTC Global has also codified our best practices for SAP quality engineering, which the India team applies consistently across projects. These frameworks help reduce rework, improve collaboration across business and IT, and accelerate time-to-value in even the most complex SAP environments.

A global model that works for global enterprises

CIOs and transformation leaders know that follow-the-sun delivery models can dramatically reduce project duration. Our India operation plays a key role in enabling this. While we don’t operate a 24/7 shift structure, the India team supports projects in the U.S., EMEA, and APAC by adjusting their work hours where needed, enabling smooth handovers and ongoing momentum across time zones. Different time zones can hand over tasks (run specific test cases, for instance) in the evening, have the India team work on them and get the result back in the morning, speeding up delivery and saving valuable time in the SAP migration.

At the same time, TTC Global doesn’t operate in a siloed delivery model. Our India-based specialists work hand-in-hand with local consultants around the world, including in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. This hybrid approach ensures we meet our clients where they are — culturally, geographically and organisationally — while still drawing on the depth of our global delivery engine.

Global knowledge, locally applied

TTC Global ensures that the insights and practices developed by the India team don’t stay in one location. Through SAP practice groups and shared documentation systems, this knowledge is continually disseminated across our entire global network. Whether a customer is based in London, Houston or Auckland, they benefit from a shared pool of expertise that has been battle-tested across industries and regions.

This strength is reinforced by the leadership of Philip Samuel, CEO of TTC Global India. His steady guidance and commitment to quality have helped shape the India operation into a strategic hub that combines SAP expertise with a practical, results-driven approach to client success.

For executive leaders, SAP migrations are not about technology. They’re about business resilience, future-readiness and cost control. One statistic from SAP itself stands out: software testing can account for up to 30–50% of total project effort in S/4HANA programmes. That’s a staggering figure, and one that highlights why choosing the right quality engineering partner is a strategic decision.

With TTC Global, that decision comes with confidence. Our India team brings a unique combination of scale, skill, speed and management structure, reinforced by global reach and local engagement. It’s a model that works, and one that continues to evolve as we support clients on their most critical transformation journeys.
