SAP S/4HANA Migration
We have the know-how to take the pain out of complex migrations.
SAP S/4HANA MIGRATIONS CAN GO WRONG. YOU NEED A TRUSTED PARTNER TO MAKE IT HAPPEN PAINLESSLY
Yes, SAP S/4HANA is a cutting-edge ERP that brings significant benefits in terms of real-time data processing, improved analytics, better UX, and scalability. But none of it matters if you don't have the confidence the migration will be smooth.
From losing data and workflows to unacceptable downtimes to performance issues — lots of things can go wrong in a large-scale S/4HANA migration. It's our job to guide you every step of the way to a successful transition.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR MIGRATION OPTIONS
The downside is, you may be carrying over a lot of legacy inefficiencies and outdated data, hampering your ability to optimize, innovate, and move forward.
Greenfield migration
In a greenfield approach, the migration basically means a new implementation. Starting with a fresh SAP S/4HANA system from scratch enables you to:
Easily rethink and standardize your business processes.
Eliminate technical debt or leave inefficient legacy workflows behind.
Readily adopt SAP S/4HANA best practices.
However, going greenfield can also mean having to re-implement customizations and custom code, migrate data, and re-train users. All of which can mean more effort and resources.
Brownfield migration
The brownfield migration is also known as system conversion. Data, configurations, and customizations are transitioned from the legacy system to a new one. Some of the advantages include:
Minimal disruption of operations.
Faster and less resource-intensive migration process.
Retention of all historical data and context.
The downside is, you may be carrying over a lot of legacy inefficiencies and outdated data, hampering your ability to optimize, innovate, and move forward.
Hybrid migration
Depending on your business case and the amount of custom modifications and code, a hybrid approach may offer the advantages of both green- and brownfield worlds:
Retain only critical data, modules, and code.
Decommission legacy data while optionally archiving it for legal purposes.
Safely enhance your SAP S/4HANA system while paving the way to innovation.
A hybrid approach can be very flexible in terms of which modules and data are migrated when and in what order.

Evaluation and planning
Prior to starting the migration process, it's crucial to thoroughly assess your current ERP landscape. Our experts will work with you to analyze your current business goals, operations, dependencies, and modifications made — to craft a migration strategy optimized to your organization's requirements.
System preparation
Before a conversion and/or migration can begin, your ECC system needs to meet the essential requirements for transitioning to S/4HANA. From applying the necessary support packages and upgrades to resolving any technical requirements — our team will help ensure the migration is seamless.
Data migration
Data migration is a pivotal part of most migration projects. Our team will extract, transform and/or normalize, and load the data into your new S/4HANA system. Irrelevant data can be discarded while important legacy information can be efficiently archived for later reference. We will also perform thorough testing and validation to ensure no critical data fell through the cracks or was inadvertently altered in the process.
Custom code adjustments
Custom ABAP code within your current system needs to be evaluated to make sure it's compatible with S/4HANA. Business-critical code can be enhanced or adjusted to align with S/4HANA requirements, while technical debt and legacy code can be discarded to speed up the migration. Our QA staff will perform meticulous testing to ensure all custom code works post-transition.
User training
We understand user adoption is an important success factor. Verix Intelli experts can offer both user training initiatives and comprehensive documentation to streamline the transition process and boost user adoption and engagement.
Post-migration support
Once your new S/4HANA system successfully goes live, our job is not necessarily done. Besides tackling any outstanding issues, Verix Intelli' experts can monitor the system's performance, collect end-user feedback, and offer professional on-demand services around S/4HANA to further help your business.
