SAP S/4HANA migration: a step-by-step approach, at your pace

SAP S/4HANA migration is the move from an SAP ERP system, such as SAP ECC that runs on-premise on a database other than SAP HANA, to SAP’s next-generation SAP S/4HANA business suite (either on-premise, hosted in the cloud or hybrid).

In today’s fast-changing business environment, companies are under high pressure to be faster, smarter, more agile and more innovative than their competitors. SAP’s next-generation business suite, SAP S/4HANA, was developed to help them achieve those aims. Hesitant about making the move? We can help you migrate step by step, at your very own pace.

Now is the time to make the move to SAP S/4HANA. It will allow you to migrate step by step and reap the benefits before your competitors do.

Why move now?

By 2025 (or 2027 for specific cases), SAP will no longer support its existing ERP business suite, requiring users to move to the HANA in-memory platform.

While every SAP customer knows that migrating to SAP S/4HANA is inevitable, many are concerned by the cost, complexity and duration of the migration project.

Starting your re-platforming now, however, will allow you to make the shift at your own pace.

Reap the benefits of SAP S/4HANA

Moreover, you’ll be able to reap the benefits of SAP S/4HANA before your competitors do:

  • Gain real-time business insights quickly, for better decision-making, optimized processes and better services – thanks to HANA’s super-fast analytics engine, embedded reporting and simplified processes.
  • Work faster, in a more agile way – thanks to SAP S/4HANA’s simplified data model and the exceptionally intuitive SAP Fiori user experience.
  • Accelerate innovation to optimize and reinvent your business, as the central HANA core combines traditional ERP with CRM, EWM, transportation management, etc. and cloud applications, such as SAP C/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, Concur, SAP Fieldglass and SAP Ariba. It can also be easily extended with SAP Leonardo, SAP’s digital innovation system, which opens the door to IoT, big data, blockchain, and more. An increasing number of new SAP applications will only be available on SAP S/4HANA.

Three steps ...

1. ADOPTION

Through our SAP S/4HANA migration assessment, the Enterprise works team scans your current system to measure how ready it is for SAP S/4HANA, identify potential obstacles, explore your existing z-code and suggest a migration approach that fits your business.

2. BUSINESS OPTIMIZATION

After determining your concrete migration approach, we demonstrate the value of SAP S/4HANA by migrating a copt of your system to SAP S/4HANA in a temporary cloud environment.

The result: low-risk, affordable insights into the impacts of a migration on your applications.
