From the pre-project phase to knowledge development and after-go-live support, we provide you with reliable support in every phase of your SAP project. With our t4t-LifeCycle, a holistic concept for successful SAP training and sustainable employee development, we create structure, clarity and measurable results.

Our experienced trainers combine qualification, implementation and continuous improvement so that knowledge is imparted in a practical way and consolidated in the long term. This creates a learning process that strengthens your project team in the long term.

Through practice-oriented training and individual support, we promote effective collaboration and create the basis for successful SAP implementations and stable processes.

Whether rollout, system change or new modules - we support you in every phase so that your employees build up targeted knowledge and your company benefits from the SAP investment in the long term.

Learn, apply, develop - our t4t LifeCycle accompanies you throughout the entire knowledge and transformation process of your SAP project. We combine training, project support and process optimization to create a consistent learning concept that combines theory, practice and experience.

This creates a holistic approach that not only imparts knowledge, but also promotes practical implementation, thereby ensuring sustainable results. Our approach also supports your employees in actively shaping change and continuously developing new skills.

Our holistic approach is based on a carefully coordinated combination of different Services:

We identify key users in your company and enable them with professional trainers to successfully acquire training skills themselves in order to be able to train users.

Together, we analyze the existing parameters to define the training requirements. A lot is possible, from compact overview training courses to complex role-based practical training courses.

Professional process visualization through schematic representation of your target processes helps to improve workflows, identify knowledge gaps and deepen employees' understanding.

In our delta and compact seminars, you will deepen your knowledge of the central SAP standard topics using specially developed exercises and materials - ideal as practical support for your SAP project.

SAP training projects

Structured support for your SAP project—from training strategy and materials development to training delivery and hypercare. This ensures that the project team, key users, and end users are prepared in a timely manner, resulting in a more stable go-live.

Training Needs Analysis (TNA)

We systematically determine which target groups need what content, when, and at what level of detail. The results include, among other things, a role-course matrix, a course catalog, a cost estimate, and a robust training plan.

Key user concept

We develop key users as advocates who bridge the gap between business units and IT and help embed knowledge within the company for the long term. This includes specialized SAP training, coaching, and train-the-trainer components for future user training.

SAP seminars

Standardized training sessions with a clear agenda, field-tested materials, and—depending on the topic—exercises and system demonstrations. Ideal for concise foundational training, modular in-depth sessions, and role-based training.

SAP Workshops

Customized formats for specific questions, processes, or specialized topics that don’t fit into a standard seminar. Practical, flexible in scope, and tailored to your specific business context.

SAP process audits

A transparent analysis of your current SAP processes to identify weaknesses and specific opportunities for optimization. You’ll receive visualized process diagrams and clear recommendations for action, such as process adjustments and training initiatives.

Digital subscription

The SAP digital learning platform as a flat-rate subscription for businesses—featuring videos, e-books, live sessions, and AI-powered support. Perfect for ongoing professional development, onboarding new employees, and sustained skill-building after go-live.

What is the t4t LifeCycle?

The t4t LifeCycle is a holistic process model developed by trainers4training (t4t) that integrates training, project support, and sustainable knowledge retention throughout the entire course of an SAP project. It covers the pre-project phase, the implementation and training phase, and post-go-live support.

For which SAP projects is the t4t LifeCycle suitable?

The t4t LifeCycle is suitable for SAP implementations, S/4HANA transformations, rollouts, release upgrades, process harmonization, and major organizational or process changes. Whenever roles, processes, or system interfaces change, the LifeCycle ensures structured training and consistent use in day-to-day operations.

What phases does the t4t LifeCycle include?

Typically, the t4t LifeCycle consists of three interconnected phases: the preliminary project phase (analysis and target state), the training and implementation phase (design, development, execution), and the post-go-live phase (hypercare, knowledge management, coaching). The exact structure is tailored to the project approach, schedule, and target groups.

How does the t4t LifeCycle differ from individual SAP training courses?

Standalone training sessions often address only specific knowledge needs without being integrated into the project plan, role structure, and change communication. The t4t LifeCycle combines training needs analysis, training design, materials development, training delivery, and post-go-live support into a comprehensive training process.

What happens during the preliminary project phase as part of the t4t Life Cycle?

During the preliminary project phase, t4t analyzes, among other things, the current situation, target groups, project context, and critical processes in order to identify risks early on. Depending on the needs, this may include a process vulnerability analysis or process audit, an initial training strategy, and the preparation of a training needs analysis.

What are the deliverables of the t4t-LifeCycle?

Typical deliverables include a training strategy and training concept, role and target audience logic, a role-course matrix, a course catalog, and learning paths, as well as effort estimates and an integrated training plan. In addition, training materials and exercises, trainer guides, training system adjustments (if applicable), and measures for hypercare and knowledge management are developed.

Which target groups are included in the t4t LifeCycle?

The t4t LifeCycle is designed for the target groups that make an SAP project a success: project teams, key users/power users, end users, and—depending on the project—managers and internal trainers. The depth, timing, and formats are planned so that each role gains the necessary confidence to act in a timely manner.

How are key users set up in the t4t lifecycle?

Key users are trained as multipliers—in technical, methodological, and (if desired) instructional skills, in the spirit of “train-the-trainer.” This enables them not only to support testing and process acceptance, but also to train end users and serve as first-level points of contact after the go-live.

What role do post-go-live and hypercare support play in the t4t lifecycle?

Experience shows that after go-live, there are often questions, errors, and spikes in support requests—this is where hypercare support comes in to stabilize usage and quickly fill knowledge gaps. In addition, t4t provides support for sustainable knowledge management (e.g., on-the-job coaching, performance support) to ensure that proficiency does not decline again.

How exactly do you get started with the t4t LifeCycle?

The process typically begins with a brief initial consultation to clarify the project context, timeline, target audiences, and critical processes. Afterward, we decide together whether a process audit, a training needs analysis, or a training project—as the first LifeCycle module—will provide the greatest impact.
