In an SAP data migration project, both greenfield and brownfield approaches are possible, depending on the organization's goals, existing systems, and business requirements. Here is how we see these approaches:
Greenfield Migration
Greenfield Migration involves implementing a completely new SAP system without inheriting legacy data structures, providing organizations with a clean and streamlined core from the start.
We support a comprehensive migration to S/4HANA, offering all essential SAP-related load objects:
- SAP S/4HANA Target Objects:
We provide standard SAP Migration Target Objects compatible with the SAP Migration Cockpit.
- SAP S/4HANA Customizations
Our solution seamlessly integrates customizations into the standard S/4HANA migration object, without complexity or hassle.
- Source Systems:
If your source system is SAP ECC we provide a comprehensive list of SAP ECC source objects as standard.
Brownfield Migration
Brownfield Migration upgrades your SAP ECC system to SAP S/4HANA while preserving all historical data. The existing SAP system is upgraded, with data, configurations, and customizations migrated to the new SAP system.
Hybrid Approach
Opting for Brownfield can lead to potential data challenges after go-live. Instead we encourage considering a Selective Data Transformation (SDT) approach. If your historical data is outdated, inconsistent, or of poor quality, this method ensures alignment with the clean core of the new S/4HANA system, delivering a more efficient and reliable transition.
Selective Data Transformation:
- Critical data that must be retained should be cleansed during the migration and non-essential legacy data should be left behind to avoid unnecessary clutter.
- With cost savings of to 75% up in total project cost our view is that a hybrid approach delivers the best results, especially for migrations involving critical data with a high likelihood of anomalies!
- Our solution supports a comprehensive migration to S/4HANA, offering all essential SAP-related source and target load, from SAP ECC to S/4HANA:
- SAP S/4HANA Target:
We deliver all standard SAP migration target objects fully supported by the SAP Migration Cockpit, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient migration process
- SAP Customizations:
Our solution effortlessly updates and integrates all your existing SAP ECC customizations, including those transitioned to the new S/4HANA core, ensuring smooth alignment.
- SAP ECC source:
Our solution delivers all SAP ECC source objects as standard source maps.
